Recently I noticed an omnibus edition of some V.C. Andrews books -- the Shooting Stars series, about four teenaged girls in a special school for the dramatic arts -- was priced reasonably. I loved V.C. Andrews books when I was in high school, so I decided to read the omnibus (the four prequel novels, essentially, about how the four girls ended up in the school).
As some background, when I was in high school in the mid-90s, I fell in love with the V.C. Andrews books. I think my favorites were the books in the original series, Flowers in the Attic and the ones that followed, but I devoured all of the series that were out at the time, as well as those that were still coming out. As my reading tastes matured, I moved on to other books, but I have fond memories of the V.C. Andrews books I read back then.
