Inhalt:Ice ist weder arrogant noch hält sie sich für etwas Besseres – sie ist schlicht ein Mensch, der sich nur mitteilt, wenn er seine Worte abgewogen hat. Nur, wenn sie singt, lässt sie ihrem Innenleben freien Lauf. Und so startet der zweite Teil um die Shooting Stars…Schreib-/Erzählstil:Andrews berichtet wundervoll, im Einklang mit ihrer Protagonistin wählt sie mit Bedacht die Worte und setzt eine besondere Note, die sie am Anfang sowie im Ende einbringt. Hier muss man Acht geben, um diese Komponente noch einmal voll auskosten und sich erinnern zu können.Meine Meinung:Ich konnte gut mit Ice mitfühlen, denn sie hat es ebenfalls nicht leicht in der Schule, genauso wie Cinnamon im ersten Band, die schauspielern wollte. Hier konzentriert sich alles auf den Gesang und ich konnte den Zauber an Ice gut verstehen. Mich hat auch nicht genervt, dass sie sich nur ein paar Mal wehrte, denn da die Geschichte in ICH-Perspektive geschrieben ist, hat man immer einen Einblick in ihre schönen und einsamen Momente, in ihre traurigen und glücklichen Gedanken. Ein großes Thema ist mal wieder das Entdecken der großen Liebe oder eine großen Tragödie.Fazit:Andrews Saga spinnt sich immer mehr zu einem Schicksalsquartett, in dem Ice gar nicht fehlen darf!
Seventeen-year-old Ice (yes, that’s her name) is in trouble at school, not for talking, but for not talking. The teachers are concerned that she’s falling into something called “elective mutism.” She just won’t talk when she doesn’t want to talk. It doesn’t take too much of a parent-teacher conference to figure out what at least part of the problem is. Her mother, whose career was frustrated by early marriage and pregnancy, does all the talking for her and anyone else in the room. But let Ice sing and the world stands still to listen. She learned about music from her father’s collection of jazz records--Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Lionel Hampton, etc. She can imitate Carmen McRae’s “Bye-Bye Blackbird” and Ella Fitzgerald’s “Lullaby of Birdland.” Please read the rest of the review here.
What do You think about Ice (2001)?
Ice was not as good as Cinnamon. Overall the quality of this series was pretty bad, but at least Ice wasn't as bad as Rose or Honey, in my opinion. This book was a bit interesting, but ultimately, like Cinnamon, it fell flat. This book feels nothing like a true VCA book with multigenerational family drama and secrets.I'm not sure what Neiderman was thinking when he came up with this series. Even on it's own, I can't really recommend it as a book to read, it relies on stereotypes (much like Rain) and the characters felt rather flat.

VC Andrews has always been a favorite of mine since my childhood days. I have read (and re-read) all of her books, and although I am much older now and find that some of her work is better than others, I still enjoy the twists and turns, strangeness and mystery that continues to captivate my interest.With that being said - it might also explain why I find the ghostwriter's quality of work lacking and less memorable than Andrews true writing, especially with the newer, more modern series.If your looking for a quick read that you can probably finish than give it a shot, but if you're looking for a timeless piece of work that will make your heart race and leave you speechless - read VC Andrews' original stories.
