Summary: A pleasant surprise.....
Review: After reading all of the recent V.C. Andrews books (ex. The Wildflowers), I was expecting another disappointment. However, Willow is anything but disappointing. Although it is not as good as the Heaven series or some of the other earlier ones, it is still the best recent one. Willow is a college student, who finds out several big secrets about her family after her father passes away. She was a very strong character and more realistic than most of the ones from other books. The story itself kept me reading and wanting more (I can't wait to read the next book in the series). The author described the setting (Palm Beach, Florida) and the characters in such great detail, it almost made me feel like I was there and that I knew the people in the story. Overall, a wonderful book!

Summary: this is great
Review: All of her books are pretty much the same. With twists and turns in each novel. She is still one of my favorite authors. this book is really good and keeps you on the edge of your seat. If you are a fan, I recommend reading this book.

Summary: Junk
Review: Couldn't get past the first fifty pages. It's the same old stuff, just a different setting, as usual. Of COURSE the "dark family secret" is that Willow's father had an affair that produced her - since when has the GW been creative and come up with something new? Just once, I'd like to read a VC Andrews that doesn't include the word "real" when describing a mother or father. The character letters at the end are nothing more than marketing plugs for the other books - maybe people are finally catching on that they're just not worth the money.

Summary: Finally!!!!!
Review: Finally...V.C. Andrews' ghostwriter has written a book worthy of V.C. herself! I was sooooo delighted to find that this book did not once refer to the main character having sexual relations with any of her blood relatives nor ending up pregnant and having to get married. Willow was indeed one of the first strong characters I've seen since the "Heaven" series.....which was from 1987!!!!! I'm looking forward to digging into the remaining books of this series!

Summary: This book was great
Review: I believe this book was unlike most of the V.C. Andrews books I ahve read. It has a flair about that just wasn't like the others. Most of the other girls are dependabke on men. Willow was a strong women who held her own place, I can't wait to read the next one.

Summary: I love this book
Review: I could not put this book down, every page just grabs at you with every page you want to know what is going to happen, it doesn't give you enough time to breathe :) I loved all the characters in this book, I love the way Willow is a strong person and she goes after what she wants and what she wants is to know her real mother and things happen down the road before she gets to meet her real Mom, I can't wait to read the second book of the series Wicket Forest, the journey continues. If you are a V. C. Andrews fan you will like this book.
Happy Reading Lisa

Summary: Too boring for words
Review: I couldn't get through the series because I found myself uninspired by the character. She lacked the drive of V.C. Andrews previous heroines. Her father lies about her real mother so of course she goes to find out about her blah blah blah. I mean her blandness reeks on every page. I really don't recommend this book to any...it's sad to say since VC Andrews is my favorite author and i find her books very entertaining. I like reading things that don't necessarily stick to what people deem normal. Willow was just too normal...I couldn't get past book two.

Summary: dont believe what they say - ...
Review: i expected so much from this book because of all the praise people gave it. so i bought it with great high hopes and then... they fell. willow grew up in a huge house with gardeners and a full time nanny. she thought she had a hard life?? why did she have to leave school? all the vc heroines think of is family. they need to grow up. i hate the way theyre all beautiful, all talented, all "bad liars" and hate doing anything "bad". they all have belived mommies and daddies and hate to disappoint them. read the first to series of vc books, but dont go looking in the others for pleasure unless you like to hear people whine about their hard lives.

Summary: Wonderful... I want more!
Review: I had to admit that I had mixed reservations about this book. I like the mini-series, but was ready for a full length novel again. I had tried desperately to read the Hudson series, but couldn't quite get into it and so I had my hopes that Willow would turn out to be a good novel... and it was. I loved it! It left me wanting more and the surprise at the end with the letter from a familiar face from the Casteels... was superb! Can't wait for the second book!!
