Product Description

She hid her true self.

Now the truth will be revealed.

Living a life of lies under the thumb of her widowed, spiritually-obsessed mother, Celeste has been forced to take on the identity of her dead twin brother, Noble. She's almost forgotten what it's like to be Celeste -- except for the one thing that keeps her sane: caring for her darling daughter, Baby Celeste. But when Celeste's mother marries a kindly neighbor, a new breed of poisonous secrets and vicious enemies will force Celeste to do what she must -- to survive the darkness....

1.0 out of 5 stars Startling Conclusion..., December 11, 2004
I've been poking through some of V.C. Andrews's old books today and came to a disgusting realization. One I never thought I'd reach. After having weened myself off these books and moved onto Alice Walker, Dorothy Allison, and the like, I came to the realization that these books really, really suck. Except for Dark Angel and the books prior to that, the writing is flat and lifeless, the characters have no voices of their own (they all sound alike!), and it's just repetitive. The stories are all the same with different settings and names. You have the beautiful, but naive narrator, the handsome prince, the bad uncle/cousin/brother, the evil sister, the evil grandmother, the self-absorbed mother, the weak father, and the catty girls who are jealous of the narrator. Throw in a bible-thumper, too, while you're at it! Granted, Celeste doesn't have all the cut-outs, it still isn't good material. Had it been under a different writer's name, it wouldn't have even been considered for publication. With anachronisms, cliches, and spelling, grammar, and other errors galore, it's a wonder these made it past the slush pile.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ugh, August 19, 2008
By M "CultOfStrawberry" (Gnawing away at your reality) - See all my reviews
Celeste and Black Cat had a interesting premise, with what happened to the twins. But no reason is given for Mom's madness, or obsessive love for Noble. In the Flowers in the Attic, Casteel, and Cutler series, it is eventually revealed why the villains of these books did what they did - not necessarily a excuse, but a explanation. There is none given here for why everyone is so f***ed up. I felt angry and frustrated at the end of Black Cat because Celeste HAS NO FREAKING BACKBONE. This was the last "VCA" book I ever actually bought, I just couldn't take it anymore.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story but too many inconsistancies, February 23, 2005
In Celeste (to anyone who paid attention) Celeste/Noble was 16 when she had Baby Celeste. It was brought up that she was 1 year younger than Elliot who was already driving and she was old enough to driver herself (Sarah was going to get her a car that proves this fact). At the end of Black Cat, they try to sell her off as 11 at the time of the birth. Sorry, no dice.

That is not the only inconsistancy in the series (there's also a question as whether she ever had the chicken pox), but definetly the most unforgivable. I can't get past it. It clouds my judgement of the rest of the book.

I will read Child of Darkness because I have to know if that was done on purpose, but I'm dreading it.

Black Cat" is an interesting book. I really enjoyed it. Fans of Andrews will likely enjoy this novel for what it is - another Andrews' novel.
