Summary: A Jewel of a Book!!!
Review: This book is really a Hidden Jewel, because it was truly hidden behind the other weak Landry books (Ruby, Pearl in the Mist, & All that Glitters). Tarnished Gold, the last book in the Landry series, was a great book, too, but Hidden Jewel is the best in the Landry series. Pearl is such a strong character that I was shocked. I'm so used to reading such weak female characters such as the women in the Cutler series and Annie in the Casteel series. No incest theme ran amok throughout this book and the parents didn't get killed in this book. Finally!!! Now this is a must read book. If you read the other Landry books, don't stop because of those books' weak storylines please read Hidden Jewel and Tarnished Gold. Hidden Jewel is TRULY the best book in the series. I'm so glad I found this Hidden Jewel.

Summary: Courage in the Fall
Review: This book is really good for everyone to read. After graduating Pearl Andreas is ready to start off her new life in hopes of becoming a doctor. Thinking that life was perfect she had no remorse in acheiving what she wanted and what her father wanted to become. As some say for every good there is twice the bad to overcome. Never the less the winner is the one who is determined to press foward. Pearl is left to handle the family crises that befalls on them one after another. She puts her family before herself. This book is the book that shows how unselfish we can be. Though how hard it is to persue your happiness in some other ones fall. However we keep our head straight and get what needs to be done in the sake for others. I recomend this book to everyone who thinks that every thing in this world can be given on a silver platter. Life aint easy nor is it perfect. Get used to it and read this book.

Summary: Pearl's Journey
Review: This is a great book imo. I can imagine Ruby would be quite happy to realize how strongly her daughter handed her family's problems and I feel stronger as a girl just reading about such a strong heroine!

Pearl yearns for a passion that will sweeps her off her feet though no boy has been able to break her hard shell. She wonders if being a scientist at heart, if she will be able to feel love and see hearts and flowers in the air like a normal girl.
When a hurricane of turmoil sweeps through her family and old ghosts are stirred she will have to summon every bit of her of her Cajun strength as she follows a trail back into the dark wilderness of the bayou, searching for her lost mother who has retreated into her memories, haunted by guilt. Pearl will venture through cobwebbed mansions left abandoned and decaying, into the snake lair of a twisted old crone who laughs in glee at Pearl's distress and into the depths of the bayou to face a hideous ogre who demands his pay he was cheated of long, long ago. The price being Pearl-body and soul. Can Pearl survive? And if she does can she finnally find happiness and love amongst the rubble of the horrors that destroyed her family's innocent bliss?

Summary: i hope I have a duaghter like pearl!
Review: This story blew me away. Pierre had taken the passing of his twin Jean very hard. So did the rest of the family. Jean was so funny. Even though Jean had pulled the practical joke with Pearl's graduation cap, his parents couldn't stay mad at him very long. I thought it was good that Pearl got firm with her dad Beau when he was drinking too heavily when her mom Ruby was missing. I was glad for Pearl when she met Jack Clovis, a man whom she could trust. I would like to hear another story from Pearl when she finished college and succeeds in medical school. I believe Ruby and Beau are right to insist that Pearl fulfills her potential.

Summary: The Best!
Review: Wow! is really the only word to use for the description of this book to use. This was by far the best series th auther has ever written.(Who ever the auther is since V.C. Andrews died. It's a real tear-jerker but it was absolutely fabulous! I recomend this series to anyone who loves a good love novel and enjoys thrilling action.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good
Review: Wow! This book was great! I only put out *4* because I had to skim through a bit from it getting to plain at times. But, I must say, It was great and I LOVE to see a Strong herione! Pearl was great. She stood up straight when her father and mother slouched and made the whole family survive. Yeaa! I love the way the ending turned out... Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy. The part I disliked was about Ruby. I always liked her as a strong girl, too, but this book made her seem to caught up in evil forces to even care about her family. I would have thought she'd be more level-headed, like her daughter. Some parts were unexpected and great.

Way to go, Neiderman!
