Summary: Not worth one star!
Review: I usually enjoy V.C. Andrews books and I love the series about the different girls, but this book really was terrible! Not worth the time I took to read it. Rose and Ice was better..I'll be reading Honey Next. Can't wait for Nov. 27th got yhr 5th and final book!

Summary: Cinnamon was okay
Review: I wasn't very happy with this book. I am an avid V.C. Andrews reader and found that this book lacked the v.c. andrews spice in all her later books. I am looking forward to the last novel that brings all the four girls together in hopes that it will make the miniseries some what entertaining. I loved the Hudson series and enjoy the novel series much more than the mini ones. The smaller books leave no room for more detail, enriching plots and the famous surprising twists that I love so much from V.C. Andrews.

Summary: don't read this review
Review: look i'm sorry. i'm sure you all love this book. i bought it as a present and now Amalgamated keeps hounding me to review it. My hope is they will quit reminding me I bought it and leave me alone. I've not actually read this or any of the dead gal's books. It's just not my cup of tea. Good luck everyone. I hope you all get better. As old Bob D said a long time ago... "Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest." p.s. Holistic medicine doesn't work.

Summary: Um...
Review: Okay, although Cinnamon (still can't believe that name) was an overall ok book, it was so predictable. I mean, i seemed to know what was going to happen after the first few pages. Good read, but it needs that missing quality that keeps you guessing in all the other books.

Summary: Cinnamon
Review: The book Cinnamon isn't as good a read as compared to the hudson family series novels, ie. Rain, Lightning Strikes, Eye of the Storm, and End of the rainbow, but I feel that it has the magic that runs through in all the V. C. Andrews' books. A ritualed tradition in the V. C. andrews, the narrator in Cinnamon is also a female, she lives in the ghastly mansion which is in constant taunt by her peers as the 'Adams family mansion'. After the move-in of her obnoxious grandmother, her father is under the bonding mother-son you-have-to-do-what-I-say-because-I-am-your-mother-or-else-stress. Relatively, Cinnamon's mother isn't really adored by her intimidating grandmother. Her 5"4 in height might not seem all so intimidating, but her sharp remarks make her so. On one faithful afternoon in school, Cinnamon is interrupted by her grandmother's gleeful I-told-you-that-would-happen-soon-enough-face, and is taken out of school, to relate to some saness to her mother's temporarilly madness, because of the heavy impact of her second mis-carriage. Could our herione, survive the horrifying ordeals ahead of her, stand up to her grandmother, or not get possessed by the spirits lingering in the dim-litted-hide-away of an attic? Read the book to open the door to another world......

Summary: A Okay Book!
Review: This book is not great but it's okay better then Ice that for sure. But it's nothing like the real VC Andrews books, who was very good specialy Heaven and all the Casteel serie. If you have nothing to read this book is not that bad.
Rating:
Summary: terrible.
Review: This book was boring and completely dragged. Maybe if I was ten years younger and in the sixth grade I'd like it. I liked the idea of Cinnamon's character, but she was so poorly developed, and her story was too. Yuck! These "minibooks" have got to stop. I refuse to buy another one of them.

Summary: typical - but still worth reading
Review: unfortunately, some of the reviews try and compare this book to previous v.c. andrews books; however, v.c. andrews died several years ago and these books are all written "in her style" and based on storylines she left and had not developed. to expect heaven or flowers in the attic is truly a mistake. if you like the v.c. andrews' storylines of screwed up families, then the shooting stars series won't disappointment you. just don't expect what you can't have and you will be all set.

Summary: Cinnemon, a refreshing change
Review: V.C. Andrews died several years ago and since 1987 a ghostwriter had been writing books under her name in "her style." I find the GW has been losing his touch after the Landry series and especially with the miniseries. However, I did find this book enjoyable and that is why I give it four stars. It's unlike all the other miniseries books because of the fact that Cinnemon does have a somewhat good relationship with her parents, there are no dark secrets that she had to find out, and I liked the supernatural touch of the "haunted" house she lived in. All in all I found this to be a nice change from the usual bland tales told by the girls in miniseries and I hope this suggests a change in the way the books are written.
