Rating: Summary: Short, but good.... Review: I'll admit it. I'm thirteen years old, but I've been a devoted V.C. Andrews fan ever since I was eleven years old and saw "Fls. in the Attic", the worst movie ever, compared to the awesome book. I loved this book, I suppose because I'm a young teen and I can understand the characters and their feelings, but I am disappointed at how small these books are. Like many other angry reviewers, this book is VERY, VERY, VERY short and though these stories are different then the normal chilling, haunting tales of the real V.C. Andrews and the longer series not written by her, these stories are enthralling. Come on, Ghost Writer! I'm barely almost fourteen years old, and I WANT longer, thicker books! Many people claim that you're targeting the younger era, so I just had to tell you that ``secret" before you make anymore miniseries concerning four children that must become friends one way or another, like the "Orphan Miniseries" did just like this one.I can't wait to read the next one of the "Wildflowers Miniseries", despite my previous sarcastic intentions. This is so good though, because if you are young you can identify with the characters. Kids who are younger then nine years old shouldn't read any of these (because of the sex, obviously). But please, Ghost Writer, gives us a break and make these MINIseries into LONGERseries.
Rating: Summary: Pretty good Review: All Misty ever wanted was to be normal, but unfortunatly her dreams where shattered when her parents divorced and started to use her as a way to hurt each other. hurt and vulnerable Misty looks towards other things to make her happy, things that she should stay away form. Things that land her in Dr. Marlowe's office. Now she has a chance to tell her story to three girls with stories a lot like hers. How will they react? This story was pretty good. It was short and pretty well written but it wasn't VC Andrews best work. I do reccomend it but I'd reccomend taking it out from the library instead of buying it. It's still a good book though and I'm planning on reading the other books in the series (Star, Jade, Cat, and Into the garden)
Rating: Summary: She's so bad....she ran away on a Mini Motorcycle! Review: Misty is the first in the Wildflowers series, and floral metaphors are scattered throughout the five part series of poor little rich girls. In Dr. Marlowe's office the girls will explore the pain of their past. And yada, yada, yada. The book tags and summary are so melodramatic it's laughable, and sadly, the inside of the book isn't much better. For 150 pages, Misty whines about her life, using endless description, and clichéd metaphors, that a real person who was narrating her tale never would have spoken. At the end of the book, we know that there is still more torment, for Star will be speaking tomorrow.
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: This is the first VC Andrews book I've read, but definately not the last! My friend told me it was really good, and I had to read it - and she was right! Some people have mentioned that V.C. Andrews must be targeting a younger audience with the Wildflowers Miniseries, but I disagree. In "Misty" a young teenage girl (Misty) goes to her counsuler and meets three girls that have similar problems to her's (the three girls are named Cat, Jade, and Star). Misty tells her story to the girls, and after her sad story, they all feel closer together. Misty's parents are divorced because her dad found a younger woman (who's almost the same age as Misty!) and her mom is image obsessed. After the divorce, Misty's grades go down, her friends drift away from her, and she finds herself in 2 bad relationships, both which end abruptly. This book is very good,but very short, and also very suggestive. I reccommed it to anyone who likes V.C Andrews books or anyone that likes books about divorce or romance.

Rating: Summary: Weak Review: One word...weak. It's a good book if your 13 or 14 I guess but it doesn't come close to her stories. Granted that most of her stories are about rape, incest and sex but at least the twists and turns of the plots made it better. The entire Wildflower series pretty much followed the suite. Ghostwriter can't seem to hold a candle to V.C. Andrews writing style.
Rating: Summary: It was very good Review: Well, I've been reading VC Andrews for a while and all of her books are so DEPRESSING. This wasn't so bad. VC Andrews is very detailed in her writing, but there are some parts where a teen would definetely not do what Andrews wrote. So it's not exactly a teen book written by Francine Pascal or something. But it's still good (and short)
Rating: Summary: SHORT Review: I liked this book, I really did, but, pleeeeeeze, stop the MINIseries and make BIG books! I hate short stories. I bought the big one, you know, the one titled "The Wildflowers" with all four stories in one book? It itself was big, but each INDIVIDUAL book was TINY! I wish they were at least 300 pages more and four following books... *grin* anyways, Misty's story was good, but like I said, pleeeeeeeze stop the Mini series and make more BIGger books, like the Earlier ones. I can't WAIT until Willow (big book, I THINK) comes out in Spring of 2002...! Until then, I have to endure another set of MINIbooks called the Shooting Stars... *sigh* grrrrrrrreat! *grin*
Rating: Summary: Good, but doesn't really interest me. Review: This novel is the first of The Wildflower series. It is about four girls who share stories about their past. This series is based on a 16-years-old girl named, Misty; she shares her life problems, mainly focusing on her parents' divorce. Misty also introduces a little bit about the other girls and their therapist, Dr. Marlowe. Of all the novels that I have read by V.C. Andrews, this one wasn't really as interesting as the last book I picked up by her. I recommend this book to any teen who wants to know what it's like being in the middle of parents' divorce from a one-person point of view.
Rating: Summary: Misty-The Wildflowers Review: I thought this book was a well-written book, it held my interest and I did not want to put the book down. Also, the author used flashbacks in her story. The story take place in Los Angeles California in a psychiatrist's office, with four girls. The story is based on Misty's life problems because of her parents being divorced. Misty is a 16-year-old girl that is dealing with a lot of trouble. I think any teen or preteen could read this story any fully understand what life is like when parents are divorced.
