4.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully trashy!, December 29, 1999

By

KC "KC" (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Butterfly (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is just a terrific read. From the first page, Ms. Harvey just draws you into the worlds of not only the main character, but the subplots are pretty enticing, as well.

This book, along with the sequel, "Stars" (which you MUST read if you have read this book, and vice versa) are on my permanent summer reading list - books I re-read each year. Love, lust, revenge, redemption - it's all here. One of the best things about these books is that there is a sense of closure once you complete both volumes, unlike many novels which seem to end before the story is complete. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Revenge? Best Ending Ever!!, February 14, 2006

By

Christy McKinney "Mysterious9" (Pinebluff, NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Butterfly (Mass Market Paperback)

I first read this book back in 1999 and recently dusted it off and read it again. One of my favorites to date.

The main character, Beverly Highland has a such a hard and terrible childhood that you find yourself rooting for her and almost clapping for her towards the end. She's a woman that every woman can identify with on some level and you watch her grow up, get smart and concoct the BEST revenge you could ever imagine. She goes from being homely and timid to being strong, ambitious, shrewd, smart, plotting and a real diva.

Sure wish there was a "Butterfly" club where I live! Reading this book was cake and the ending was the icing. Women of the world: Read this book! It will make you feel stronger and even inspire you to do better for yourselves.
