I first read this book when I was in high school. It was one of my aunt's books that she lent me back then. I really loved the book after reading it back then and after reading it for a second time, nothing much has changed in my appreciation of the book. I think I even appreciate it more now after I have undergone a course in General Psychology because I now understand more why Dr. Foreman has been doing what she has been doing do her "students", and the fact that she is a believer in More...

Just finished this book and I thought it was a well written followup to the first in the series. To me, it's a little unlike the normal V.C. Andrews pattern. Teal, Robin and Pheobe are all taken to the ranch and are from there on under the control and supervision of Dr. Foreman. I say control because this woman, with the help of their 3 designated "buddies" basically tortured these girls, both physically and emotionally. It's a page turner to the point of you find yourself wanting thes More...

I liked this book better than Broken Wings. I actually think the school is a good idea althought maybe for people with worst crimes than Phoebe, Teal and Robin. If you've not read the first book then chances are you will for more sorry for them as you don't have their crimes explained in full. It was a good read. I liked the setting and the plot. I think the ending was a little bit to sugar coated for my liking. I really wish Andrews would go back to her 5 book sagas. Two books just doesn't quie More...

It has been years since I've read a VC Andrews novel and this one does not disappoint. It is astonishing how she can create characters who area vile and treacherous and yet it is something that you can easily imagine happening if you just stretch your imagination just a little bit. Everything isn't always rosy at the end, however like everything life, there is always a silver lining on the darkest and greyest of clouds.

I can sum this book up in one word: Yuck!

I will not be reviewing this as I couldn't bring myself to finish it. It is thoroughly unappealing on all levels. Where shall I begin? The child-like writing? The unlikable and unrealistic teens? The forced diaper wearing? The information dumps that defy all logic? Need I continue? No life is too short for books like these.

Not a bad book. It's a sequel to "Broken Wings". The only problem I really had with it is,what ever happened to one of the other "girls" that was at Dr. Forman's school? I wish there was more of a story about her. If there is a story more about what happened to her..please,enlighten me. I'd like to either know about it,or read the book on that one. I mean,did she die? Is she now in some institution? Instead,I felt like I was left hanging as to whatever happened to her. Or di More...

This was okay. I think this is where any teenaged girls should go, especially those ones who want to send nude photos of themselves to boys on their cellphones. No self respect. No dignity these days. In all seriousness I liked the book and the first one. A friend lent it to me in 2001 and I read both books in about a week.

I personally thought the writing of this book was awful. When it came to description, dialogue, etc, it was really pathetic-hard to picture, really cheesy, etc. I usually enjoy the somewhat "trashy" storylines of VC Andrews (her family writes the books now that she is deceased) but feel the actual writing has been better. I guess VC Andrews writes for teens now. It irritates me when books aimed at teens are written at a first-grade level. Don't we want to EXPAND our student's vocabular More...

Throught the two books in this series and can't help but think how it is so much like the orphan series...but instead of 4 mini books and one novel it was broke down to three books within the first novel, one for each girl. The second novel was all three girls and how they were involved in one anothers life.

The idea of this "school" is actually good. Just the way Dr. Foreman carries it out is too harsh.

The first book is titled: Broken Wings. This is a typical V.C. Andrews book. Three teenage girls are send to a type of correctional agency, a school for girls. Here the girls sleep in bards, work on a farm in blistering heat and verbally tortured by their adult "buddies".

Once I got into the first 50 pages, it was pretty good. Just took awhile to get into the book. You don't have to read the first book to understand the second. They give enough background to understa More...

Sad the abuse that the girls had to endure, but in the end, they persevered!
