Summary: It was okay...
Review: ...for a storyline just like most of V.C. Andrews others. I don't know what it is with the mean grandmothers or aunts or what have you but why can't it be someone else for once? Anyhow, it was nice to see a change of character. Cinnamon came off as almost goth-ish and it's nice to see the ghostwriters are branching out a bit. The ending wasn't what I had expected. Almost as if the ghostwriter was going to keep Cinnamon hating her father but then had her change her mind to make a "happy ending". I hope the next book in the series won't be half as predictable.

Summary: It's no Flowers in the Attic.....
Review: Andrew Neiderman's work seems to be improving. Cinnamon is better than the Orphans, or the Wildflowers, but as usual, it's very typical. I knew what would happen from page 1. This book was no V.C., but hey, it's getting better. I will read this series, even though I swore after reading Eye of the Storm I wouldn't read another ghostwritten book (under VCA's GOOD name) ever again.

Summary: One of the best in a while. Cinnamon is a breath of fresh ai
Review: Another thriller with Grandmother as the wicked old witch again. An excellent way to instill Mental illnes and the victory over it in the book. Cinnoman will thrive because of her mothers amibitions and her grandmothers insults. This girl just tries harder to succed. The Daddy just wants to be happy no mater who he hurts. I think we will find out later money is the root of all evil . Cant wait

Summary: The Start of a great new Mini-series
Review: Cinnamon's life is about to take a sharp turn. SHe's used to living her life normally at home with her parents and in school with her best friend Clearence. She dosen't have many friend and isn't considered popular becasue of her dark clothes and makeup. But when her mother loses a baby before it's born, she goes crazy. Now Cinnamon has to deal with visiting her mother in the mental hospital, her grandmother taking over her home, romantic feelings for her best friend, and having no one to talk to. ALl she wants to do is exist in the lies she tells. And she might be able to because she has a gift that could make everything better.I found this book to be a step up from the other mini series. It was just as suspenseful and exciting but it was a little more real. My only complaint is Cinnamon's cover picture dosen't really match the one we're given (where's the dark makeup!) but you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and this one was really good. I reccomend it to fans of VC Andrews work.

Summary: Ok... I guess
Review: I am sorry, but I was horribly dissapointed with this book, but I was also disappointed with Rain and that entire series. It just seems the V.C. Andrews books are losing there magic. I have loved every previous series (including the orphan series) before the most recent two, but somehow the plot and the character depth has become lacking. I guess it was inevitable with a company writing books for a dead author, but this book especially was repetitive to the past books and rather boring. There was nothing in it to draw you in like in her early novels... sigh, I do highly recommend reading the Dollanganger series as well as the Casteel series and many of the others (all of the other longer books and the orphan series).
Rating: 
Summary: A pretty good book
Review: I enjoyed Cinnamon. I think that this is a type of a book that some teenagers might be able to relate too. I think that it had a decent storyline, but in some parts got a little predictable. I think that this series along with the rest will be really good. So I deffaintely look forward to the other books in this series...

Summary: Well...
Review: I have read many V.C. Andrews books, and as many people have already discovered many of the same elements are in every single book. I would recomend this book only to someone who has not read many of the V.C. Andrews books. Cinnamon was a slightly different character, but I kept comparing her to all the others.

Summary: Sigh....
Review: I just have to say that I don't like the miniseries that the writers are doing! Of the three miniseries (The Orphans and the Wildflowers), this book, the first of Shooting Stars, was the most confusing. I didn't even get what the point was until the end. There was no passion like the other books that VC Andrews has written. I easily read this book in two hours, and I wasn't impressed. I don't want to give away the plot to anyone who would have a desire to read this, but it's very blasse. The girl, Cinnamon, is very much like every other character that has appeared in VC Andrews' books, yet has much less of a personality. Yet, I understand that once you are hooked to VC Andrews, you have to read every book that comes out by her. I am looking forward to the large book that wraps up the four girls' stories.

Summary: Awesome
Review: I liked the book alot. I have like evry book by V.C. Andrews and I love them all. The book never got boring. All the other books in this series never got boring either. I loved every book till the end.

Summary: *sigh*
Review: I think this mutated semblance of literature needs to be crushed in the iron grip of "out of print" as does most of the poor dead idiotic ramblings of "the Ghost Writer" *cough* Andrew Neiderman.
Every word that floated into my vision from that most horrible book made me want to throw up all over again.
Oh and goodie-goodie! She's a goth! Yay! Diversity! *NOT* Everyone in highschool doesn't beat the different popularity over the head with a stick. It may just be my highschool, but I'm pretty much the picture people get in their heads when you say "non-conformist" and guess what, I have a.) never been accused of being a lesbian with my teacher b.) never had my mother go crazy for a month then come back and c.) never had a putrid evil half-mad grandmother.
Andrew had better have some body-guards, old Cleo V. Andrews might roll out of her grave and make an attemp on his life if this keeps up.
2 stars for the lack of romantic interest she had for her family members.
