Summary: disappointing
Review: I miss the way the real V.C. Andrews wrote. The new author's books aren't as page-turning as the older books, and the new author seems to be writing to a younger crowd, or a less educated crowd. They don't make you think anymore.

Summary: I really liked the book, but I read it too fast!
Review: I really liked this book and I was very moved and toiched. The only thing is, I read it fast because I just could not put it down so now I'm stuck waiting for Brooke to come out and it seems to be taking forever!!! please have it come out soon!!!

Summary: Intriguing
Review: I think "Crystal" was a short but wonderful novel. Crystal was incredibly smart, but had the attitude of an average teenager. She wanted what every orphan wished for: a loving family, happiness, and freedom. Then Karl and Thelma Morris came into her life. Even with an overly organized father, and a mother caught up in her imaginary life of books and soap operas, Crystal's life finally begins to even out. I love how the plot unfolds and the story ends with a shocking conclusion. Though I have read better V.C. Andrews books, this one was well worth my time. I encourage teenagers and young adults to read it, as well as the other books in the V.C. Andrews Orpan miniseries.

Summary: Great story but not comparable to Butterfly
Review: I thought it was a great story, but to slow, it took forever to get to the point! Butterfly was great, and I can't wait to read the next two, but I think the Orphan girl seiers are geared toward teens, and adults should hang off, unless the like reading teen geared books!

Summary: hmm
Review: I thought this book was okay. It didn't exactly suck but I feel that if they made it longer it would have made a little more sense. Its like once you get to know the characters the book ends.

Summary: A Great Book!
Review: I was so excited to see this book on the shelf, when I went home I started reading it immediately. This book was wonderful compared to Butterfly, which was not as good. I think that they should have started the Orphans series with this book instead.

Summary: Crystal has a new chance for a better life
Review: Intelligent Crystal has spent most of her life living in a not so nice orphanage. She watched others get adopted before her and tried to sever all ties off from people her age. But one day everything changes when she's adopted by two very nice people Thelma and Kurt. Kurt lives his life by a constant schedual and is very organized. Thelma lives her life through the soap operas she watches on TV and the Romance novels she reads. Crystal feels slighlty out of place in this world but finds a friend in the smart boy down the street, Bernie. But when one single act shatters all that she has. She finds herself back where she started.Like Raven and Butterfly, Crystal is a good read though a bit unrealistic. I'm looking foreward to read Brooke (the 3rd short book in the series) and Runaways (the full length novel staring all four girls.)
