V. C. Andrews - Rain

Pros: The story line was good, like all of V.C. Andrews ideas.
Cons: The writing is poor.

I have to say, I am so glad that I read the last novel in the series first. There was nothing in the last novel "Eye of the Storm" that said there were two previous novels. Throughout the novel, I saw areas that really should have been developed on. As I...

Pros: strong characters, great settings, fantastic plot line
Cons: none

Pros: Great Writing,Good Story...
Cons: None

I have become very addicted to V.C.Andrews books ever since I read “Flowers in the Attic”. “Rain” is just another good example of the great Stories.

Virginia Andrews passed away but her family found Someone to continue with her stories and to...

Pros: holds interest
Cons: none

I have been reading V.C. Andrews since Flowers in the Attic. Her style is unlike anyone else. Although V.C. Andrews died a few years ago, her novels are still being produced on a regular basis. Her family hired another writer to complete all of her...

Pros: Gripping and believable, could not put it down.
Cons: that the next book is not already for sale

I really enjoyed this book, and am totally looking forward to the release of the next one in the series, due out in June 2000.

This book is about a young teen named Rain, and she is living a really hard life, in the ghetto. Her mom does...

Pros: For the most part very realistic, loved the fact that the main character is bi-racial
Cons: Ending seemed rushed, some parts were far-fetched

I will preface this review by saying that while this was a good book, it was not as good as books done by V. C. Andrews when she was alive. The ghost writer that has been doing these books since V. C. Andrews’ death was not able to pull off the illusion...

Pros: Action, action action, good plot, lots of twists and turns, great character development.
Cons: Sometimes a bit predictable if you are a VC Andrews fan; explores the relationship between Roy and Rain (they grew up as brother and sister) which can be upsetting.

I picked this book up by chance at my local target store. I was in a rush and needed something to read, ASAP! Lucky for me, this book was a hit in more ways that count. The ghostwriter for VC Andrews (Why don't they use their name and get it over with?)...

Pros: EXCELLENT reading-some predictability
Cons: having to wait for the next book in the series!!!!

RAIN is a great example of the work started by V.C. Andrews way back with the Flowers In The Attic series. For those of you that remember that title, but were a bit overwhelmed by it's content, this is a great time to pick up this new book and start...

Pros: Draws you into the life of Rain and her family.. keeps you on your toes.
Cons: Other than the insinuation of incest..nothing.

I just finished V.C. Andrews latest book Rain, and I must say it was very addictive. I could not put it down, and read the whole thing within 48 hours.

I loved the fact that the child is part African American and part "white" and...

Pros: VC Andrews books are always good reading..
Cons: SO predictable

Pros: Getting back to classic Andrews
Cons: To Much Like Dawn

Don't get me wrong, I love V.C. Andrews books. However, I like them more when they aren't just rewritten into a new story. To me Rain was to similar to Dawn. If you don't want to know more about the book stop reading here because I am about to list the...

Pros: interesting plot and characters
Cons: bears too many similarities to other novels written after Andrews' death

Though I was considerably disappointed by the recent books published under V.C. Andrews' name, This novel was somewhat less of an insult to the late author. Although The book gets off to a shaky start, the story is interesting enough to hold one's...

Pros: Very well written, highly emotional.
Cons: None

I would have to say that this is one of the best books that I have read in a very long time. It is so true to life that I was actually crying through parts of it.

Rain is the first book in the Hudson series. After not reading Nora Roberts...

Pros: Very Touching Story
Cons: You have to wait for the next book in the series

I just finished reading V.C. Andrews RAIN and it is definitely a great book. I'm positive it will be on the top ten soon. I'm avid reader of her books and I must say that who ever is writing for her now has definitely kept her style going it is so easy...

Pros: Page turner
Cons: (none)

In my opinion, Andrews should get the Pulitzer for this book!
Rain, the first book in the Hudson Family series, is told in the view of the main character, Rain Arnold.
I was at first not looking forward to reading Rain, but once I got into the...
