Rating: Summary: A Taste For Imperfection Review: I discovered V.C. Andrews books abotu six years ago. I have been an avid reader of them since. V.C. Andrews is the first author I have found whose books never disappoint me. I have never read one and felt i had wasted my time. This book told the stories of four girls with lives that were far from perfect. This book steers away from a fairytale world and more towards reality. This showed me that everyone has their problems,everyone faces their own struggles, and you may never know. You may never know the source from which their anger stems. The cause for their lack of self-esteem. It makes you think twice before judging anyone. From page one I could not put it down. The characters stories intrigued me. I found a little of myself relating with each character. As the characters stories were told and they became incipient, I really began to feel for them. When the end came, I was disappointed it was finished. This book enhanced my love for V.C. Andrews as a writer, and I recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed her other books.

Rating: Summary: This was NOT a page-turner! Review: I recently finished the wildflower series, and can I say BORING??? I'm sorry, but V.C.'s books are going downhill, after the ghost writer took the place of the original writer herself. Hey, what am I to say? It's only my opinion, right? Right. Anyway, the only story that even interested me a bit was the one about Star. The one about Cat was... WHOA! Wait a minute, the one about Cat I had no comment whatsoever. All I can say is... eww! The Jade story was okay, but the only cool part was when she met the person she found on the net. Let's just say... it was... well... unexpected. In my opinion, the Misty one was the most boring. Anyway, these are just my opinions. Who knows... someone out there in the world might disagree with me and like these stories. You know what though? I prefer the older books written by the REAL V.C. Andrews herself. This new ghost writer is just a shame. Toodles. :D
Rating: Summary: New style for V C and me. Review: I'm an old school VC Andrews reader I read the books when I was in my early teens, and I decided to collect all the books and read them again now in my old age (23). The Wildflower series was all right, it was interesting to see 4 differnt points of view of things happening at the same time. I liked the Last book of the series the best, Into the Garden. Misty's story was kinna boring, Star's was better, then Jade's wasn't that great, but Cat's was good it seemed like the old V C Andrew's stuff when she was actually writing the books.
Rating: Summary: Obviously not Virgina's Writing or Stories Review: THE COMFORT I PERSONALLY FIND WHEN I READ A VC ANDREWS BOOK IS UNPARALLEL I KNOW THAT WHEN I SIT DOWN TO READ ONE OF HER BOOKS OR THE GHOST WRITERS VERSION OF HER BOOKS I WILL BE WONDERFULLY PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME. THE WILDFLOWERS SERIES DIDN'T DISAPPOINT ME AT ALL. ALTHOUGH SOME THOUGHT IT WAS A TAD BORING I BELIEVE THAT THE BOOK JUST REVEALS A TERRIFIC AMOUNT OF DETAIL SO YOU CAN FEEL WHAT EACH YOUNG GIRL WAS GOING THROUGH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR KEEPING UP WITH THE SAME COMFORTING STYLE I HAVE GROWN UP WITH. I AM 25 YEARS OLD WITH LITTLE TIME ON MY HANDS AND I WAS HAPPY THAT I TOOK THE TIME TO READ WILDFLOWERS (I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT TO FINISH IT). THANK YOU AGAIN. A LOYAL FAN OF V.C. ANDREWS!
Rating: Summary: A great book Review: This book was very interesting because, it was a really misterious kind of book. These book was a little confusing because it would talk about the old man who was one of the charecters. Then it will talk about hes paintings. But this book at last was kind of misterious when the old men dies. He dies when he paints hes last painting.
Rating: Summary: Obviously not Virgina's Writing or Stories Review: Though the book was ok, the ghost writer did not give these characters half of the time V.C. Andrews would have! Virgina could have turned this into a FULL LENGTH series as each of the girls, the therapist, and her sister all had deeper more detailed stories to be told. I could easily see another "Flowers in the Attic" series with details and heart and suspence for anyone of these characters but instead the ghost writer decided to tell us a short summary that didn't scratch the surface :( I expected a book not a summary.I found Misty's story enlightening only because of my own recent divorce -- otherwise boring. Star's was "typical" Jade -- Waaaaaaa... chapters of "poor lil rich girl" whining Cat -- I think we all would have liked to of learned more about her parent's history as well. Overall -- Boring. The sad part is V.C. Andrews herself could have made each one exciting and heartwarming. I only wish she was around to do the honor :( If you're a fan, read the book...you just have to. If you're not a fan...skip it. Either way be prepared to be left a bit empty and feeling as if you read every other page and missed half of the story.
