Rating: Summary: Try researching life in England first Review: I have all of Virginia Andrews' books (except the Wildflower series) and yes, they are pretty much all the same - the formula - but I still enjoy reading them.But this one annoyed me. There were so many glaring errors regarding her life in London. She gets given tickets to see a show on a Sunday - with very few exceptions theatres don't perform on a Sunday here. She is looking through the phonebook for her dad and looks up all the men with the first name Larry (can't remember what his surname was) - phonebooks here don't list first names, just initials. The maid where she worked was called Mary Margaret - that is an almost unheard of combination over here. Her father's wife (who is English) wrote a poem which mentioned a 'trash can' - not a phrase an English person would use. And don't even get me started on the cockney style of writing... Either get a ghost writer who knows about life over here or keep your characters in the US. It is niggly things like that which made me doubt the characters and didnt allow me to get as involved as normal.
Rating: Summary: A great book! Review: I really enjoyed this book. I could'nt put it down. This book is different from the rest of the Hudson's because she is in London and there is sort of a mystery eith the secret cabin. I highly recommend this book to anybody even if the are not a V.C. Andrews fan. Be sure to read Rain first.
