Title: A Cliche Andrews/Ghostwriter Soap Opera
Product review: I admit the V.C. Andrews/Ghostwriter series do hold one's interest. The books are like cotton candy -- appealing to look at, but leaving little of substance. The formulaic Andrews is as follows: 1) Shadowy, sinister adult females 2) Protagonist is always a young female with an artistic talent (in Rain's case, acting) 3) Sooner or later the protagonist has sexual relationships prior to reaching adulthood 4) a plethora of nature related metaphors 5) a stupid expression in the books that has come to irk me personally -- "putaway heart" 6) Twins appear in most of the Andrews/GW books 7) Incestuous relationships between brother & sister, or people raised as brother and sister -- (Cathy & Chis), (Dawn & Jimmy), (Heaven & Tom -- luckily they didn't take their relationship to a sexual level), (Ruby & Paul) and now Rain and Roy. Cliche. I agree with a previous reviewer who expressed disappointment in this book. Add mine as well.
