Summary: Part 2 of the Wildflower Series
Review: In this book, Star tells the other girls in her therapy group (Misty, Jade, and Cat) about living with an alcoholic mother and being deserted by a deadbeat dad. Her story is heartbreaking and very real. Finally, she and her little brother Rodney are able to live with their elderly grandmother and have a chance for happiness and real love when tragedy strikes again. Some V.C. Andrews stories really capture my attention and others do not. This one got my attention. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Summary: Good, but not great
Review: My first V.C. Andrews book was "Misty" and I absolutely loved it! I was really excited to read Star, because she's my favorite of the four girls...and I was kind of disappointed. "Star" is really really good, but the first thirty five pages are kind of slow. It starts with Star being dropped off at Dr. Marlowe's office, today being her day to tell the other three girls (Cat, Jade, and Misty) her story. She starts with telling them how her mom's an alcoholic, and her dad left them when her and her brother (Rodney) were just little kids. Her mom soon meets someone, and they come home totally trashed, night after night, for quite some times. When this is happening, Star's little brother is getting hurt at home, and Star is having problems at school. Her grades are slipping. After a while, Star's mom dumps her and Rodney off to live with her grandma. When Star starts school, she meets Steve, and they quickly become boyfriend and girlfriend. Steve has the same problem as Star - his dad drinks and his mom is dead. But one night something horrible happens, and Star is changed forever. This book is REALLY good, but the beginning is kind of slow, which is the only reason it's not getting 5 stars. Some people say that this book is geared towards 6th graders ~ I highly disagree, and thought this was suggestive. It is good though!

Summary: These mini-series really suck
Review: Ok so once again it took me about an hour or two to read this book. All I can say is I'm not impressed. This book was 10 times more interesting than MISTY, which isn't saying much. These mini-series lack the shock and drama of a real Andrews book. I can't say enough how disappointed I am. I thought the Orphan series was bad but the Wildflowers are terrible! I have found nothing yet in either series that would make me gasp or swear to my husband that I'll put the book down when I read one more chapter. If not for the name V.C. Andrews on the cover I wouldn't look at it twice. I have better ideas than this ghostwriter! Maybe I should write a book..because I know what the readers want. As horrible as it may sound we want the rape and incest and anything that may make our hearts stop.

Summary: All righty
Review: Ok, so Star was good, I expected the worst and got one almost up to Misty, but not quite. Don't get me wrong, it is really good, but I hated something about it... something I can't identify. I guess I just can't quite picture it as much as the others. She did have a bad life, worse than Misty's for sure, but it was downright DEPRESSING! I know ones like FLowers in the Attic and My Sweet Audrina are both sad and maybe depressing, but something just *clicked* in them, I loved them, and I felt I was leaning outside the homes looking in, seeing, watching... and that's how it's supposed to be. I guess the thing I find most depressing about these *New* books is they catigorize them as "Horror". Horror? No! They are stories of some little girl's life, and they aren't scary at all, just sad! I think sometime after Ruby series, the ghostwriter lost interest somewhere... I wish he'd get it back and make another "Heaven" series.

Summary: Needy Girl is Rich in Experience
Review: Star acted more of a mom to her little brother Rodney while their own parents Aretha and Kenny were so busy squabbling with each other. Star and Rodney were lucky to move in with their grandma. I was glad she fell in love with Steve. I believe Star should have told her grandma about Steve's problems while he was alive. That way Steve's life would have been saved. Star took it very hard when Steve died. Yet her grandma didn't panic when she found out when her own granddaughter needed help.

Summary: barely worth buying
Review: Star is boring thats the only word for it.I really do wish they would write the older type of books. Like Flowers in the attic is the best book ever. But then it goes downhill. I think the ghostwriter would make more money if he would stop trying to target new readers and stick with the older ones.

Summary: Falling Stars
Review: Star is the most boring of all the Wildflowers. Maybe it's because her romance with the abused boy is so clichéd, or maybe it's because the lavish houses of Beverly Hills are missing. Whatever it is, something is lacking in this story. Might it be a talented writer?

Review: Star isn't good at all. It's the most boring in the series. Perhaps it's the lack of lavish houses, maybe it's the clichéd romance with the abused boy, maybe it's just a lack of talent on the part of the fake "V.C. Andrews."
