“The Bad: Not quite up to par with the other V.C. Andrews series I've read in the past. The twists were mediocre and the story was a bit bland. Not nearly as exciting as the usual.

The Good: A decent read.
Description
Melody Logan knew her beautiful mother, Haille, was unhappy in their hardscrabble mining town.... But with her wonderful father's unwavering love, Melody always felt safe -- until a dreadful mine accident ripped her from her family's moorings. She was still devastated by her father's death when she left West Virginia with Haille to follow her mother's dream of becoming a model or actress. But first they stopped in Cape Cod to visit her father's family at last. Melody knew only that her grandparents had disowned their son when he married Haille -- just because she was an orphan, her mother said. Yet moments after Melody first laid eyes on dour, Bible-spouting Uncle Jacob, nervous Aunt Sara, and her cousins -- handsome Cary, whose twin, Laura, had been killed recently in a sailing accident, and sweet, deaf little May -- Haille announced that Melody was to live with them. Sleeping in Laura's old room, Melody was awash in a sea of grief and confusion, with only her beloved fiddle to comfort her. Then Cary revealed the truth he'd gleaned about her parents -- a sad shocking story that only puzzled her more. Melody knew nothing of the dark deceptions that would soon surface...the devastating betrayals she would face before she glimpsed the faint, beckoning lights of a safe harbor....

“The book Melody, written by VC Andrews, was interesting because it was strong in area of content. This book has strong content because the main idea of the story is very appalling. There are many situations that are very unpleasing to hear about. In this book, the main character says ''I dont wanna leave", I said. But she just looked at me with a smirk on her face. This quote explains how the relationships to the characters. Therefore, VC Andrews has written a book with strong content.

Like the content, the style of this book was very commendable. In the book, Melody i taken advantage of, because she is to young to make her own choices. The detail explains how there is no mercy for people her age. This book is very gruesome and has many vivid details. As I mentioned above, I was very impressed with the style of this book.
The form of the book was formal and I found this effective. One main reason that this form did work was because it went well with the setting and how everyone spoke to each other in the book. Another reason that this form did work was because it wasn't hard to understand what everyone was saying. These reasons made the form of the book work for me. It was excellent because the author had many great quotes. As a result, I give this book a great recommendation because the content, form, and style are unique in so many different ways.”
