Summary: Boo! Hiss! to V.C. ghostwriters on this one!!!!!
Review: "Lightning Strikes" is the second installment in the Hudson series. I really had a hard time getting into this second installment....not only were the characters pretty dull and boring...but Rain disappoints me with her behavior with the men she encounters along her journey in London.

Summary: ...Alright...
Review: I must admit, I haven't read Rain, skimmed through Eye of the Storm, and read End of the Rainbow... but I haven't read the Cutler series, so I am a little confued on how this book is just like it.... Im currently going from begining to end... I read the Attic series, and the first two Casteel books. I read this book a while ago, so I forgot a few details... Anyways, I've read over twenty books of Andrews, but I must say.... this book is a copy. You mught as well scan one book, put a new title on it, and try to call it something different!! Incest by her thought-to-be brother??! Please!!! Close your legs!! Why are all these girls so weak and eager to have sex, especially with brothers?? They say they are resisting in the book, but, ummm, no, they aren't! I just dont like the incest, and average girls dont have sex with their brothers! Sorry.... Anyways, it was downright OK, not good, not bad, OK! I like learning about London, and her uncle or whatever was sooo weird! That stuff I like, the gothic darkness... and that little weak maid Mary Lou or something... wow! That bustler (Bogs?) was like a regular V.C. character, nice... But I must say... these girls need to forget their family problems... I mean, my dad's mom cheated on her husband with his best friend, and had my dad, and he didnt find out until he was twenty three.... but he didnt go searching for his birth parents!! Why are they so important, if they cared, they'd let you know!!! My dad says blood may be thick... but who your known-to-be-parents are the REAL thing! They raised you!! Who cares who gave birth to you??? A suggestion, can on girl be strong, have no brother who "can't look at other girls without seeing their faces instead" and not go "in search of their BLOOD realitives" becuase if they wanted you, they'd let you know!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Rain in London
Review: I'll make this short:
I like this book better then Rain. I also like how the writer put her in London. I don't think any other of the characters have traveled outside of the USA and it was a nice change of pace, like going on vacation without moving an inch. Rain's reunion with the father she never met was kind of sad but as they form a tenative bond it becomes happier.

Summary: Andrews keeps on doing it, well her writer does.
Review: Many may not know it, but VC Andrews passed away a few years or so ago and her kids hired a writer to finish up her books. So far this writer has done a wonderful job. Although I did not care for the little mini series as much as the regular series books. Lightning Strikes continues the story of Rain. It kept me up the first night reading till I was about 1/2 way through the book. I can never seem to put VC Andrews books down anyway, but this one I just couldnt find a good spot to stop. Usually I can stop at a chapter end, but not with this one. You just want to keep reading and reading and find out what is going to happen next. You want to know more about the secrets of Rain's past. This book reminds me of all the other regular VC Andrews series from Flowers in the Attic and on. I cant wait for the next book in the series to come out. This book is a must read, along with the FIRST in the series "Rain" for any VC Andrews fan as well as anyone looking for a great story to read.

Summary: Soap Opera On Pages
Review: The book I read is titled "Lightning Strikes". It was written by V.C. Andrews. This is the second book in a series called The Hudson series. V.C. Andrews writes all of her books in a series of four or five books. I enjoyed this book greatly. This book kept my attention the whole way through. Rain, was going through so much that I had a hard time putting the book down. Each incident that happened to her seemed like a nightmare and I could never imagine going through what she has gone through. I really enjoy reading stories about people my age because I can realate to some of the characters feelings and things they are going through. I really like how V.C. Andrews writes her books in series because you get the whole life story. I hate when I read a book and I feel that there wasn't enough information or when the author leaves you hanging wothout a sequel. When I read the first book in this series titled "Rain", I didn't know there was a sequel. When I found out I was very excited because all of the questions I had would be answered in the next book. Of course I was looking forward to reading it and was always checking to see when this book would come out. I would definately recommened this book who like reading about one's life and who like a lot of drama in the story. This one definately does. It's like a soap opera on pages.
