Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Viginia Andrews: 'Beautifully written, macabre and thoroughly nasty! it is evocative of the nasty fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and The Babes in the Wood, with a bit of Victorian Gothic thrown in. ! What does shine through is her ability to see the world through a child's eyes' Daily Express 'Makes horror irresistible' Glasgow Sunday Mail 'A gruesome saga! the storyline is compelling, many millions have no wish to put this down' Ms London 'There is strength in her books -- the bizarre plots matched with the pathos of the entrapped' The Times

5.0 out of 5 stars A LITERARY MASTERPIECE, October 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dark Angel (Casteel Saga) (Audio Cassette)

As an avid V.C. Andrews fan (I have all her books) this novelis among my favorites. Dark Angel is the best of the Casteel series,a series that far surpasses the others. Heaven remains a true heroine in this sequel which tells of her strange journey through adolesence and her struggles to fit in with her new Boston surroundings as opposed to her West Virginia childhood. This novel shows her determination to make an impression on society and follow her dreams. V.C. Andrews outdid herself with this one, and would probably be made sick by the sugar-coated sappiness of her ghostwriter.
