Rating: Summary: Gabriel was named Gabrielle in all of the other books. Review: I enjoyed this book except for seemingly glaring mistake -- The character's first name. In all of the other books in this series, Ruby's mother is named Gabrielle. In this book she is given the male spelling "Gabriel." This is not the only V.C. Andrews book in which I have noticed a character being called by the wrong name, or the name actually changing. Perhaps is the editors were paid more, they would do a better job. Other than that, I loved the story.
Rating: Summary: Tarnished Gold Review: I have benn reading V.C Andrews well over a year now and that is all I have read. Her book titled "Tarnished Gold" is a fantastic book telling readers so much about life and its ups and downs. I reccommend this book to all fans because she is by far (to me) the best author.
Rating: Summary: The Best V.C. Andrews Book EVER! Review: I have never read a book and became so invloved. At times I felt like I was Gabrielle. I cant count how many times this book either made me laugh or made me cry. It is filled with so much emotion. Hate, greed, love, happiness, sadness, everything is there. I would recommend this book to any fan of a good book!
Rating: Summary: Tarnished Gold Review: I have read all the other books in this series. Tarnished Gold was by far the best one. I couldn't put it down. Gabriel was a great character, not like any of the other characters in books by V.C Andrews. The end is so sad, I cried.
Rating: Summary: Pure Gold Review: I have read every book by VCA herself and every VCA book that the GW has written. I am also the webmaster of a large VCA site called Midnight Whispers and feel that I am qualified enough to say that this book was the best in the series and one of the best books yet. You can really feel for Gabrielle as she goes through the trials and tribulations that occured in her short life. Her romance with Pierre is just like Romeo and Juliet - sweet and tragic. You can't help but picture the setting of New Orleans during the time of the book and you can almost feel as if you are there. The imagery is wonderful and complex and the book just flows. I HIGHLY recommend this book.
Rating: Summary: One of the worst efforts from the GW yet Review: I honestly cannot understand how anyone could like this book. This is absolutely the worst book in the Landry series. This book is even worse than the entire horrendous Melody series. Why do I hate this book so much? Well, it's absolutely, 100% unbelievable. The GW tries his best to write from the viewpoint of a teenage girl, but fails miserably. None of the characters in this book felt developed at all to me. They were all stereotypical and flat, and the plot was just the same plot we've seen since V.C.'s death replayed once again with different characters and a different setting. There was no flow to the story, the major plot points weren't built up to properly, or at all. All of the actions undertaken by the heroine were completely unbelievable. Again, I believe this is the fault of a writer unskilled at writing from the viewpoint of a young woman. The main problem with the story is the romance between Gabrielle (or Gabriel as she is referred to in this book) and Pierre. In what I can only assume is an effort to keep the book to an acceptable number of pages, the relationship develops much too quickly, with the two being pained to be apart instantly. What follows is just too flowery and awful to endure, really. Then, the relationship ends just as abruptly, and it all goes downhill from there. I honestly cannot think of even one redeeming quality about this book, and cannot in good conscience recommend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: I just bought and finished this book, and I LOVED IT!!!! Review: I just bought and finished this book... It took me no longer than 3 days, I just couldn't put it down. It was a really great book.. I think that I'll read it again!! I understood what had led up to RUBY. After reading this book, everything became so clear.
Rating: Summary: tarnished gold and the life Review: I like Tarnished Gold because it is alot like today's world but at least Gabriel knew who the father was of all three children that she had.I think she would of learned her lesson the first time that she gave up the baby. I think she was kind of dumb to keep falling in love with Pierre after she found out that he was married. If that was me, I would of got rid of him the first chance that i had but I guess that is not easy when your in love as much she was. When she gave up the first child that she had after she got raped by Octvious and then got pregant. I thought she would of had some sense in her mind to not give up the second baby. I think she was smart to keep the other twin when she was pregant the second time by Pierre, because now she can feel what the tate's feeled when she gave the first baby to them after she was raped by Octvious.
Rating: Summary: The best V. C. Andrews book ever! Review: I loved the way all 3 families came together in the last book. I hated the Tate's because of what they put Gabriel through. I also hated Gabriel's Dad because he sold her children twice and burnt Pierre's house. It is a very strong story and had a vrey sad but peaceful ending. A great way to end off the Landry series!
Rating: Summary: I love Gabriel and Pierre together Review: I loved this book so much. I loved that Gabriel had some happiness with Pierre after all she had been through, and even though it was sad that she died, I like how you feel that in the end her and Pierre are together again.
