Summary: Writing not as good as the REAL V.C. ANDREWS
Review: To bad the new writer don't have V.C. Andrews style. She was a great writer. I read all the books that she wrote. The new writer need to go back and review her style of writing. Just stay on this road and don't go off of this style if this is the best you can do

Rating:
Summary: A New Twist
Review: I found Melody to be similar but very unsimilar at the same time to most of VC Andrew's other books. The writers weaved many different story lines into this book, each one just as exciting. Melody was equally good as the rest of the author's works. I can not wait until the next book in the series comes out

Rating:
Summary: Fantastic as usual.

Summary: This book was great as always coming fom the author.
Review: I enjoyed this book very much. I am very fond of the series that are written. However I find all the books have the same sort of plot. (same scenarios) I would like to see V.C. Andrew books come out with something with a new twist. I can't wait until the next book

Summary: This was disappointing.
Review: In the long tradition of her novels I think she would be fairly disappoited with this one. she had a well written plot that was butcherd, for lack of a better word, by the "fill in" wRiters. I relize that her plots are getting less and less her and more her and more and more them. Why can't good authors be immortal??? I have read the entire collection three or more times. I am 14 and in middle school at Martin in 8th grade. I have been reading these stories since 5th grade and if you have never read a never read a novel by this wonderful person, I recommend NOT starting with this one.

Summary: This is one of the best V.C. Andrews books yet.
Review: The story line is like the other Andrew's books with the exception that Melody is not put into a rich household. She is put into a household that does have love. It even offers a disability. Melody does have to go through the problem of finding out who her real father is and the pain of knowing her mother lied to her about the man she loved as her father. The rest of the story is yet to come.

Summary: Predictable, but not that bad
Review: I've read Melody before, and I just read it again to remember exactly why I think the GWs books are such rip-off VC originals. When VC was alive, she wrote with passion and sincerity.

I find repeated lines in the newer books, such as this one. The overuse of similies annoy me to no end as well, and I quote "We were alike, Cary and I, haunted by lies and sadness, two sailbats drifting, looking for a friendly wind" or "Like the beacon in a storm, the light from those memories held out a tiny spark of hope". Who talks like that? A few similies and metaphors are fine, but it's nonstop in this book.

The main character, Melody, is quite naive for a fifteen year old girl who supposedly gets straight As. How could she not know that hitchhiking is a bad idea? And though the author tried to portray her as a "strong woman" she was constantly feeling sorry for herself and moping. Yes, she had reason, but she was not the herione she was made out to be.

Cary was just strange and boring. His obsession with his sister seemed odd when it was mentioned. Why did he care so much that she had a boyfriend? I understand protectivness, but please.

Other than that, it wasn't too bad. Read it if your into the GWs work.
