As Said by Dean Koontz: Mule Puke
When I read "Willow" I was quite excited, I liked the story, Willow's father was a wonderful character, as was Amou, the step-mother was classic, but not overplayed, and they had an evil character who shared my name! Bunny! I might add, I didn't much fancy the Linden thing, but hey, I guess incest is a company trademark eh? (it only works if Virgina Cleo is the true writer, she made it so you couldn't help loving the Troy/Heaven, and being horrified, yet intrigued with Cathy/Chris.)
All in all I was pretty much in love with the book... really when you think about it, besides Music in the Night, the ghost writer has only done good on the miniseries (for some reason, I like those. They're diverse, I suppose.) ... so Willow was so refreshing ... well ... then I bought the sequel, expecting an equally satisfying read I was horrified to find that the new books quality was far below standard! The plot sucked, sure it started out okay, because I liked Willow, but then, all hell broke loose; they wrote "It took my breath away" AGH! It pained me so to read through the Logan series without hurling my lunch over Melody's "sudden" relationship with Cary and the way she described everything with that infamous quote... sure Cary sounded pretty hot, but no need for the extra goo...
Anyway, from there, the characters plopped, Bunny got predictably more "Jilian" making her a very stupid and nausiatingly copied villian, Thatcher sleezed around, and immediately I was aware of there half-baked copy of Phillip and Logan ... MIXED ... (the horror) the spinsterous sister? So incredibly "the aunt from Rain" (cannot remember that name) Linden was your average crazed little horny incestuous leach (aka.: Cary) and Grace didn't even have a personality to begin with... The only parts I found amusing were the little club of divorcees and Willow's rainy day moments.
Another thing I hated was that quick divorce, and marriage to that professor... ah ... another time
All in all, only buy the book if you are hardcore VCA and can't stand to wait more than a day to buy it after it comes out. - an Amazon customer review
