Suspenseful

All that Glitters, begins a year after Ruby returns to Houma, and gives birth to Pearl. The book is very suspense-filled, and has many dark chills in it. It is sort of like a soap opera. But it has the same senario as all of past V.C. Andrews books. What makes it fun, is that it takes place in the swamps of the bi-yu!!! I found it suspenseful and faced-paced because, in the first half of the book, Ruby marries her half-brother, Paul. But they keep their distance from each other! Still they both pretend Pearl is their child, and they reside, in the deep swamps of Houma. All of a sudden that brick wall falls, and Ruby is living with Beau in New Orleans, as her twin sister Giselle. There is a chilling climax that will leave you reading the last three chapters without putting the book down. You will enjoy it! Although you might think Ruby is a little self-ish to the people who love her the most.

Very Well Done

This is the third book in the Landry series, it's main character Ruby is near poverty and agrees to marry Paul her secret half-brother. They settle down to a quasi-normal life when she discovers her twin sister has married Beau the father of her baby and her only true love. This sets off a chain of events that leads into tragedy. I liked this book because the heroine is not a total goody two shoes her own desires lead her to do things that are not that nice in her struggle to survive. It has a bittersweet and emotional ending that will make you smile

One of her greatest novels

Any thing by Andrews is worth reading. I have read her Heaven series, Ruby, Dawn, Melody, and anything else I can find with her name on it. You won't waste your money on this book. I loved it. You begin reading and before you know it your done with the book and waiting for her next novel. I sometimes find my self envisining myself as the characters in her books She writes in words and in a tone anyone can understand. I began reading her books 10 years ago and now I'm addicted.

More fun than a barrel of drunken monkeys

So I just finished the 3rd book of the Landry series. The question is how a girl like Ruby lost all sympathy I had for her in this book. In my opinion, she becomes even worse than the bad twin Gisselle. It seems to me that the immoral acts described in this book can find absolutely no justification, certainly not the ones given by the heroine. BUT, I must say that I loved this book for the great entertaiment value. It really took me to another world, which is what books are all about- to me.Hating and criticizing Ruby, questionning her choices, wondering what I would have done in the same situation (Had I been in her shoes I would have pursued Louis in the 2nd book.. heheh...) was more fun than a barrel of drunken monkeys. I give it five stars!!!
