One Tragedy After Another,
By Jill Clardy "So many books, so little time...." (Redwood City, CA USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Eye Of The Storm (Hudson Family) (Hardcover)
Can one person really endure so much bad luck and tragedy? Rain is raised by a step-family, with many tragedies of their own. Then she inherits most of the fortune of her Grandmother Hudson, which incurs the wrath of her real mother and the vicious, demented Aunt Victoria. She seems to have no friends in the world other than the family chauffeur, Jake. And Jake is not exactly a role model with his lonely life and chronic alcoholism. Another close family member dies tragically, then Rain is paralyzed in a riding accident, and she becomes Aunt Victoria's victim after moving back home. If you've read other V.C. Andrews novels, you know that there will eventually be a happy ending, but getting there is a torturous route. The writing is sometimes laughable, such as the following line at the end of Chapter 5: "Maybe it was a combination of everyone tossing his or her self-interest into the fragile boat of love, sinking it in the sea of tragedy we were destined to cross together." I was also annoyed by the many typographical errors; for instance, the word "panty" was used instead of "pantry" and the psychologist's name was changed back and forth from Dr. Snyder to Dr. Synder multiple times. An attentive editor with a sharp pencil should have caught these inconsistencies. This book reminded me why I stopped reading V.C. Andrews several years ago...unreal, poorly constructed plots and predictable endings after convoluted ramblings through the land of insanity and cruelty.

WONDERFUL!!,
By "leana@augustmail.com" (Irving, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eye of the Storm (Hudson Family, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was non-stop reading. I warn anyone that buys it to not start reading it till you have several hours to dedicate to it. It was as exciting and page turning as the first two and I am anxiously awaiting the next book. A must have for any V.C. Andrews fan

THE BEST OF THE SERIES....,
By matthew roland (alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eye of the Storm (Hudson Family, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Having read the other 2 books in the Hudson series, I can honestly say this is by far the greatest one. The plot is more exciting and the characters have more depth. As with the other 2 books, more secrets are revealed, further complicating Rain Arnold's already troubled existance. You get a new look at some of the lesser characters, like Jake. The worst part about this book is having to end it....it leaves you begging for more! Hopefully, all the questions that this book makes you ask will finally be revealed in the last novel of the series: "The End of the Rainbow".
