Rating: Summary: MUST READ! Review: This is foremost the best of The Ophans Series. I just can't believe how mean and degrading Uncle Reuben was. He should have gotten more than he did at the end. I commend Raven for her temper and courage to speak her mind to the dreadful Uncle and Cousin. Let's make Runaways a hit also.
Rating: Summary: V. C. Andrews is at it again! Review: Well, I must say, I hated butterfly, Crystal, and Brooke, and I can't believe I say that because I love every one of her other books, and being the devoted reader that I am, I was going to continue reading the orphans even though so far they've sucked, but raven was different. Raven is a horror story, to put it simply, the other's were now, it goes back into the old way v. c. novels used to be before these silly fear street impression books, I'm glad this is the last of these dumb mininovels, but there was a lot this book had to offer, Raven's mother was such a whore, then there was her uncle that abused her, and her cousin that taunted her, her fragile aunt, and her other mousy cousin. the only thing I didn't like is that I wanted Raven to have more fire, like Cathy, Heaven or Audrina, I wanted her to stand up for her self when Ruben was whipping her and call him every name there is, run at him and threaten him, get a stick and give him a taste of his own medicine, something that would have made Raven stronger. All in all, this was the best in this orphans series, and I was hoping that Raven would be the one to narrate the runaways, because I like her the best, but when I read the prelude at the end of Raven, it was brooke narrating, but maybe they switch between chapters?~Tom Nordlum
Rating: Summary: Raven Review: What would your life be like if your mother was a drug addict? Raven and her mother lived in a run-down apartment until she got into more trouble then she could handle. Raven had no stable family life however she managed to be a great person who was strong willed and able to stand up for herself. She had good morals, and wonderful values despite what her mother may have done. Raven was put in her uncle Reuben's custody but before too long she was taken away. Read the book to find out why. VC Andrews wrote many books, and many series. One series that she wrote was about orphans. This series had many other books such as Butterfly, Crystal, Brooke, and Raven the book I read. I have never read any of the other books but it they're as good as this book I will. The way VC Andrews used figurative language was terrific. If you ever get a chance to read any of these books, do because they're written wonderfully.
