Book Reviews of Ruby (Landry Saga)Book Review: "Ruby" is a heartwarming book full of surprises. Summary: 5 Stars
"Ruby" by V.C. Andrews is a heartwarming book full of surprises. I usually prefer murder mystery books, but, I really enjoyed reading this one. Around every corner something new and unexpected would happen.Ruby is a teenage girl trying to find her place in the world, althougoh along the way she is having several difficulties. She was brought up by her wise grandmother, her mother passed away and she knew nothing about her father. Love is something Ruby has many hardships with though out the book. First there is Paul, but something about their past is revealed which makes it impossible for them to be together. Later in the book more troubles with boys comes along, and she learns the jealousy and many mixed emotions that come along with love. After Ruby's grandmother passes away, she is left with her drunken grandfather. He hasn't been welcome to live with them for several years. After he starts making unfair deals, Ruby needs to save her self and the only way out is to leave. So, she keeps her promise to her grandmother and goes to New Orleans to find her father, and to excel in her art work. The rest of the book is about all the troubles she goes through adjusting to her twin sister and her step mom. They are a wealthy family, and very snobby. Ruby is a strong person and after all she goes through is able to come out okay. This book did a great job keeping me entertained. As Ruby unravels all the mysteries of her past, it was interesting to see what would happen next. Many surprising things happened that I would have never imagined, like finding out Paul was really Ruby's half brother. It was amazing all Ruby had gone through at such an early age. The things that happened to her were just plain twisted and out of the ordinary. For example, her grandfather sold her twin sister and her father never even knew she existed. There was a great mixture of greed and love. Overall the book was definitely worth reading. I enjoyed it and I think it could keep anyone hooked. The way the author puts the past story together piece by piece, and always having new shocking discoveries made the book very eventful. I recommend this to anyone who's up for reading a good book.
