Title: UGH!
Review: I too am one of the fans of the older, more intense novels. The only one in this series so far with anything even remotely shocking is "Jade". The narrative style is horrible--considering that the girls are speaking, the language is very unconversational. Who would really tell an oral story using phrases like "She looked at me sadly, her eyes searching me like two tiny headlights." Which brings me to another complaint: Every girl uses the cheesiest metaphors, and none have a distinctive voice--each story sounds like it's being told by the same girl. If I hadn't gotten these first three for 1/2 off, I'd be mad at the waste of money. But I guess they were worthy of 1 star and $2.00 each for keeping me mildly amused for a few hours... I will buy cat and the reunion novels but only when they too are 1/2 off or in the used bookstores. I agree with the person who said these last 2 series have been an insult to VC Andrews' name and writing!
