Summary: a pretty good teen book
Review: honey,cinnamon, rose and ice all are talented indiviuals in the arts and have been accepted int ms. stenksy's school to polish off their talents before hitting the big time. but all is not as it seems as this exclusive school. they sense that they are being watched all the time, they have no privacy and they are enouraged not to have any outside relationships.

but the house holds more buried secrets than the students know and to get to the bottom of it all may well cost them their lives and/or careers.

this is not one of the best vc andrews books. it does not have the same tense moments in it and the ending kind of leaves you disappointed as if the author ran out of ideas and wrapped it up quickly. not the quality you normally expect.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Okay if it wasn't a V.C. Andrews
Review: I cannot believe how awful it was. I kept waiting for it to get better. Honey (the narrator) never really experienced anything herself. When it started to get good it took a different route. Like if Honey had gotten involved with one of the two boys at the school that would have made it better. There was no romance. Honey had a boyfriend but only saw him ONCE. The story had a good mystery but it could have gone deeper. More romance, sorry to say but more sex/rape/incest was needed. V.C. Andrews' books are supposed to be deep and not sugar coated. If I wanted that I have plenty of old sweet valley high books. I am highly disappointed. The book was basically one long mystery. If you like mystery, then this could be good. But if you are like me and want deep, emotional, and glad that didn't happen to me stuff then skip this one. After all that happened in the book, barely nobody had a emotional dent in them, well besides what they already had when they had came to the Senestky School.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mysteries in the mansion
Review: I enjoyed this book because it had so many secrets and mysteries. You really have no idea how it's going to end until the very end. You just can't put it down. It's basically about 4 girls that are good friends and are finding out things that they shouldn't. They are too curious and afraid of getting caught and getting kicked out of the school. You learn that sometimes people aren't always as they seem. Maybe the people who seem most likely to suceed don't, vise versa. It takes you through the twists and turns of a strange famous person's life. How come every thing you research draws a blank, it's all explained. I'd encourage reading it if you love a good mystery and want to be surprised at the end.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very bad...
Review: I hated this book. I miss the old V.C. Andrews books, sure the pattern was getting old, but at least they were interesting. This series isn't even up to the usual miniseries standard, much less the regular standard. All of the characters were boring and the ending was fake and unreal when usually at the end of the last book of a series is so sweet and/or sad that it makes me cry. Avoid this at all cost!!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not that bad
Review: I just finished reading this book and it wasn't that bad. I had guessed the ending long before I got to it but it was O.K.
I also miss the real V.C. Andrews books. She was so much better than these ghost writers. They need to think of something different. It is old like someone else wrote. The family needs to hire all new writers to take over.

I am not disappointed that I bought the book. But they do need to do some changing.

Summary: falling stars
Review: I liked the book Falling Stars. I liked the way it brought all types of backgrounds together as one family setting. If you had read Cinnamon, Ice, Rose, and Honey you would know how different all of the charaters really were. They all had to go through, or had gone through some rough times to get to the point where they were.I think V.C. Andrews gave everyone a type of situtation that they could relate to in one way or another. I liked the fact that the students all except one of course, {Howard} stayed together as one. I got the feeling that the students were telling Ms.Senetsky that no matter how bad you think things are if you are open and honest with people you can make things right. I really liked the feeling that I got when I finished this book.I felt that you can make a difference no matter how small people may make you feel. No doubt Ms. Senestky had alot to try and hide, but if she had just been open from the start there would be no reason to try to hide her daughter from the world in which she lived. Gerta did nothing wrong and if the public could not accept her I would not want to be in their spotlight.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not bad for a guilty pleasure miniseries
Review: I loved The Orphans. I liked The Wildflowers. But Shooting Stars were the weakest of the miniseries. I usually turn to these V.C. Andrews GW because they're cliched and sappy with a tang of mystery - a guilty pleasure book. I could've guessed everything that happened pages before the ending but "Falling Stars" was slow. How many times do we have to hear how Honey picks up her violin and "escapes" thinking of her Uncles and family and how much she's loved and then - viola! Beautiful music! From how the book described the girls' lessons and living accomidations, one would've thought it was a fun gala. There was NO pressure in the Senetsky school as the back of the book describes. Maybe Honey wasn't complimented each time she played her violin and couldn't see her boyfriend each day, but that's the price of for fame! The ending was a waste and there was unclarity about Madame Senetsky's mystery. There wasn't even a good epilouge on what happened to each of the girls as a reviewer said earlier. Overall, the girls' personality were one-dimensional and boring, the boys in the school were stretched to be annoying to the limits, but it's a breezy read nonetheless. Nothing too interesting, nothing too boring to put you to sleep. Just be warned that many irrelevant events happen that'll put question marks on your head when you're done with the book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: terrible
Review: I really love the old series, but the newer ones have been disappointments, with the 'stars' series being the biggest disappointment. The story was predictable, uninteresting and shallow. It was written like a scooby-doo episode.
