4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good, Mar 11 2004
By S. Tate (WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hidden Jewel (Mass Market Paperback)
Pearl is a lot smarter than some of the other VC Andrew's characters, but I found some things to be odd. I couldn't figure out why she called her parents "mommy and daddy" when she is 17 years old. She was very strong when she tried to find her mother, but I felt like when she found Jack, she fell for him a little quickly. He could have easily just turned out to be some jerk. This story line is a little different than the other novels, there are not as many twists and turns. Basically the biggest part of the novel was finding her mother Ruby. I give it 4 stars because I didn't find it as interesting or unique as the other novels, but it is good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pearl's Journey, Mar 2 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Hidden Jewel (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great book imo. I can imagine Ruby would be quite happy to realize how strongly her daughter handed her family's problems and I feel stronger as a girl just reading about such a strong heroine!

Pearl yearns for a passion that will sweeps her off her feet though no boy has been able to break her hard shell. She wonders if being a scientist at heart, if she will be able to feel love and see hearts and flowers in the air like a normal girl.
When a hurricane of turmoil sweeps through her family and old ghosts are stirred she will have to summon every bit of her of her Cajun strength as she follows a trail back into the dark wilderness of the bayou, searching for her lost mother who has retreated into her memories, haunted by guilt. Pearl will venture through cobwebbed mansions left abandoned and decaying, into the snake lair of a twisted old crone who laughs in glee at Pearl's distress and into the depths of the bayou to face a hideous ogre who demands his pay he was cheated of long, long ago. The price being Pearl-body and soul. Can Pearl survive? And if she does can she finnally find happiness and love amongst the rubble of the horrors that destroyed her family's innocent bliss?

Finally, a book by V.C. Andrews that dosen't involve the main character falling in love with her brother/cousin/uncle. It is a breath of fresh air!
