Found and borrowed Celeste from the library this afternoon. It was written by the ghostwriter who uses V.C. Andrews‘ name but there’s still quite a big difference as to their writing styles. I can’t really point it out…maybe if I’d read more, but Andrews’ touched me the way the ghostwriter couldn’t. Sometimes I think Andrews brings me deeper into the consciousness of the characters and that makes me understand them more than those by the ghostwriter. I didn’t like Celeste enough or didn’t feel for her enough. She just didn’t stick to me like Chris and Cathy did. There’s just that feeling of difference both in story and characters. Not in the plot literally but in the way they’ve been developed. I can’t help but compare because it is, after all, written under V.C. Andrews’ name.

I’m not sure if I want to continue with the other Gemini books in the series. What I’d really love to do is to have the third book in the Dollanganger series. I tried to search for it in ADMU’s library, but they only have the recent ones written by the ghostwriter and Petals on the Wind. D:
