Summary: The Best novel of the "Ghost Writer"!
Review: I like Dawn, it was one of the best book of the Culter serie and also one of the best serie of the Ghost Writer who took the place to write VC Andrews books after her death. Dawn can get on your nerves sometime, I find her a bit too weak but after she become more strong. It was a good reading and a page turner. It's maybe du déjas-vu but it's not bad. Yeah the characters are kind of black or white no in between, if one character is good he stay good and if one is bad he stay bad. I like the atmosphere in this book, the characters were good even if they were black and white. It's a good novel I think!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This was the best VC Andrews book so far
Review: Dawn is about a girl that finds out the poor family that she has been living with all her life isn't her real family. Come to find out she was sold by the rich Cutler family that owns a beautiful hotel. Jimmy, whom she thought was her brother, ends up falling deeply in love with Dawn even though they had grown up as brother and sister. This book was one of my favorites because of all the twist. I have read over 30 other VC Andrews books and I see a lot of simularities. There's always a beautiful girl that has a talent that goes from rags to richs, to some preppy rich school and there is always an evil person. Usually a rape or incest is also involved. A lot of times the main character dies and continues on with the main characters daughter. Despite these simularities, I think that each story is very good. Right now I'm on the series "Rain" which is a little different from the rest. It's actually about a black girl that was raised in the projects and her sister gets murdered by gang members. I think the ghost writter is doing a great job.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Formulaic and twisted
Review: I admit I liked this book a lot when I was in my early teens, because of its suspenseful plot and its many sexual scenes. Fortunately, real life has never been like this for anyone. This book is about rape, incest, cruelty, betrayal, stupidity, and a host of other topics I would rather not even think about, much less read about. The main character is so stupid, it's hard to sympathize with her very much, and none of the other characters are worth two cents either. All of them are flat stereotypes. Be careful; this stuff will burn up your mind if you let it. But at least now I know how to identify truly horrid literature! This book has served a purpose after all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dawn
Review: This book was very good. I enjoyed reading it. I have read a lot of her books and they are are very exciting and well written. One small problem though was that all her books tend to be a lot a like. Overall though it was a good book and i recommend that other people should read it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow. I'm Hooked!
Review: This was the first book of V.C. Andrews that I read. I decided to read it after seeing the tragically incorrect movie Flowers in the Attic.
I was not dissapointed. It was written with style and integrity. Since then I have read at least thirty-eight of her others!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Andrew's Best!
Review: I have definitely got to say that Dawn was one of the best V.C Andrews books I've read and I have read all of her books! The story from start to finish was absolutley captivating. I couldn't put the book down!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dawn
Review: I enjoyed this book because it was something a little different from her other series as it started out, but now that I am on the 2nd book of this series I can see similarities in the characters to her other ones in other books. But still worth reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Review of Dawn
Review: Dawn is the typical V.C. Andrews book: poor girl with some kind of talent is whisk of to a rich family because of something or another. But it is a little more interesting then the Ruby or Melody series. Here's the plot, Dawn goes to a private school with her brother Jimmy because her father works there. She meets Philip Cutler who becomes her boyfriend for a little while and his sister Clara Sue who is jealous of Dawn and wants to make her life miserable. Later in the story Dawn's mom dies, and she finds out that she is related to Philip and Clara Sue! She's is sent back to live with them at the hotel and is treated badly by Grandmother Cutler. The problem with the Dawn characters and all of the latest V.C. Andrews characters is that she is too weak! Why didn't Dawn just beat up Clara Sue? I was waiting and waiting for her to do it but she didn't. The jealous sister thing and the evil grandmother thing is being over done now anyway. I can't beileve what a creep Philip turned out to be, he was so nice in the beginning. I highly recommend reading Dawn it is a very good book although the main character is very weak, even after all of the things she has to go through.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good
Review: This book of course was an excellent novel. But I couldn't imagine going through everything that Dawn went tthrough. All of V.C Andrews's characters seem to be so much alike, they're always beautiful, strong and determined and they usally always get hurt in so many ways. Also all of her books seem to have something in commmon, incest, forbidden loves, and family love. Anyway, I really liked this book, I can't wait to start Secrets of the Morning, I hear it's very good.

Rating: 5 stars
