Summary: good story
Review: this is the ghost writer's first series by himself. An interesting tale, but not as good as the Dollanganger series, or his latest work. But still really good

Summary: This Story Blew Me Away
Review: This story was a good beginning about how some people can take their hurt on innocent people. For instance, Lillian "Grandmother" Cutler framed Ormand and Sally Jean Longchamp for kidnapping Dawn. I presume Lillian thought people should suffer because she thought there was nobody she could turn to when she was a child. Laura Sue was truly a coward for not standing up for Dawn when Lillian degraded her (D). Clara Sue was horrible by making trouble for Dawn and Jimmy at Emerson Peabody. What was more is Clara Sue framed her for taking a necklace. To top it all off she had Jimmy turned to the police after she promised to give him a safe haven. I was glad when Sissy, Dawn's co-worker, came around to befriend her. Sissy even pointed out where to find Mrs. Lila Dalton who was Dawn's nurse. Mrs. Dalton helped Dawn a lot to tell what she knew.

Summary: Dawn
Review: I enjoy V.C. Andrews stories. This is a good book, had me flipping through pages. The story kind of reminded me of Heaven with the suspense of who was sleeping with who, and "oh my god...no it can't be," type feelings.

Summary: Great Book - but a little predictable
Review: I read this book in about 4 days(school days). It's very entertaining and addictive. The secret about Dawn is kinda obvious but there were some surprises throughout the story. In my opinion the story went rather quickly. I am looking forward to reading the sequel A.S.A.P

Summary: Predictable but Enjoyable
Review: I have found over the years that VC Andrews is especially predictable, but I still find her novels relativly enjoyable. Although a person can usually predict the outcome of Ms. Andrews novels there is still just enough there to surprise you ever once in awhile.Dawn and her family have always been poor, but because her father has taken a new job at a prep school she finally gets to go to a school that may gives her hope for a future. Dawn soon finds herself infatuated with boy who also attends school with her. His name is Phillip Cutler, and his sister Clara Sue has vowed to make Dawn's life a living hell. Before Clara Sue gets the chance Dawn discovers her true identity shortly after her mother's death, and is thrown into a new family. The head of her new family is a heartless grandmother, her sister is Clara Sue, and her boyfriend Phillip is now her brother. All of these changes have made her life very difficult to bear and left her wishing that Jimmy would come to her rescue. This is an interesting read to say the least, but as I mentioned earlier it is very predictable.

Summary: This is a good book, but...
Review: I liked this book, don't get me wrong, but there were a few cliches that continue to irk me. Ghostwriter, what the heck are you thinking; it's like you use some of the same expressions over and over and over again! (i.e. "putaway heart" and "her prune mouth drew up like a drawstring purse") I lost track of how much he used the latter. Seriously, this guy needs to get some originality...and fast. While Dawn was okay of a character, I felt she was somewhat whiny as well. I personally liked Heaven, Cathy, and Audrina better. At least they had backbones. And some of the characters were pointless. This guy needs a thesaurus and some new ideas.

Summary: Welcome To V.C. A. Land, Where Everyone Looks Alike!
Review: The main character will always be a girl, and she will have flaxen hair and blue eyes. Or perhaps she'll have dark hair, but the blue eyes stay. For all men, if we are to use Jory Marquet from "Thorns" as a spokesperson, cannot love women who have any eyes but blue. This girl must be unnaturally naive and innocent, until some handsome prince sweeps her off her feet, preferably her brother. Then there is a bad man who tries to soil her, preferably an insane uncle, or her real brother. Now there are the male characters. They all have dark hair. Or perhaps they have blond hair, but if they do, ten to one they are a rapist. The girl's father has dark hair that lies flat on the sides. The handsome prince has hair with a little wave at the top, and probably bears a striking resemblance to an oompah-loompah. And there is an impish glint in his blue eyes. And he'll have a fiery temper, but only because he needs to protect the one he loves most, his sister or some other distant relative.
Unsurprisingly, these are the characters you find in this first book in a story that will inevitably include greed, betrayal and a whole lot of incest.

Summary: Dawn This, Dawn That.
Review: Girl finds out family situation is a lie, girl gets shipped off to some strange place (minus the excitement of a ship), girl is worked liked a dog, girl is violated in a chapter called "Violations", girl finally tells everyone where they can go, girl is kicked out under the guise of going on a nice vacation. Skip this and read Dick and Jane or See Spot Run. Though, if you're interested only in being entertained, and not about thinking, this is a delightful read.
