Ruby by V.C. Andrews
2.0
Reading Virginia Andrews' books when I was 15, they were kind of exciting. Reading them at 25, they were not.
Flowers in the Attic and the subsequent series were some of my favourite books to read during my teen years, and after being given a pile of books from a friend recently which included the Landry series I was looking forward to starting them. Unfortunately I was sorely disappointed. The writing style is simplistic, the description is nothing more than a list of features and the plot is tired.
I've been informed that all of Andrews' books feature this beautiful, hard done by girl, experiencing forbidden love then finding out she is part of a rich powerful family formula, but there's only so many times you can read about a girl falling in love with her brother. The first time it's an interesting taboo. The second time it's one big yawn.
