Summary: Excellent!
Review: 'Crystal' is an excellent book, and Crystal the character is wonderful. She's so strong! But she's very different from the usual VC heroine, which is a good thing. And someone's review mentioned that the ghostwriter's work is like Fear Street, HOW?????? Crystal is definately one of my more loved V C Andrews novel(I've read and like all of them up to Raven).

Summary: Much better than Butterfly
Review: After reading that Butterfly book, Crystal was quite refreshing. I keep hoping that Crystal and Bernie will find each other again. I just wish the parents had been a little bit more normal and not weird like the ones in the last book. Oh well! Can't always get what you want.

Summary: This book is fun and easy to read for teenagers!
Review: After reading the first two of this series, "Butterfly" and "Brooke" I felt I had to read on about the interesting lives of orphans. I really felt like I could read it because in some ways it was easy to relate to! They are around the same age as I am (14), they have trouble with their parents, go through tragedies and speak their mind just as a regular teen. (They even have boy trouble.) I would definately reccomend this book to teens who are not into reading, (speaking as one herself.) Take it on a trip with you... you will never put it down! Have fun!!

Summary: General Horse Spittle
Review: Crystal is adopted by wacky parents. Why does this sound familiar? Of course we know that her new family situation won't work out, or else there wouldn't be a fifth book, Runaways. Basically same plot as the rest in the orphan girl series; girl is given up, or taken away from her real parents, is adopted by losers, is sent to live in resort-like orphanage where girl meets three other girls who also have nouns for names. Crystal's real mother was named Amanda and she was impregnated by an unknown "degenerate" in a mental institution. One question. Is her last name Krueger?

Summary: Second Orphan
Review: Crystal is an intelligent girl, who is an orphan. She is adopted by a couple, Karl and Thelma Morris and quickly adapts to their lifestyle, even though her adoptive mother is living in a world of soap opera and romance novels. Crystal even has a boyfriend. But then, her chance for happiness is taken from her, and she is alone in the world again.This is the second book in the orphans series, and it's not very good. None of the books are, the writer uses poor metaphors, which try to be sophisticated, but fall flat. However, like Butterfly, some good scenes and good characters make up for all the shortcomings, and believe me, there are a lot. I read the Wildflowers series, also, but I didn't like those girls, the way I like the Orphans. They aren't as human, somehow. Try the series, at least once, and remember, VC Andrews is dead. This is just a ghost writer, and if you don't believe me, look at the small print in the front cover.

Summary: One of the best!
Review: Crystal was a good book, but not as good as Butterfly or Raven. I think that she wasn't adopted into a rich family made it more down to Earth. She struggles just like everyone else and overcomes some of the problems.
Rating:
Summary: A Wonderful short story
Review: Crystal was so much better than Butterfly. I really liked this book because of the main character Crystal. She seemed very real to me and I could identify with her. It was a lot of fun to read. I think that more people should buy this book. I got a lot out of it. Even my mother who doesn't like VC Andrews enjoyed this book. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.
