5.0 out of 5 stars We can now see why Olivia turned out as she did, 2 Jun 2001
By A Customer
From the moment that I picked up this book, I found it extremely difficult to put it down again!Well written, interesting and exciting. Throughout this series of books I have grown to dislike Olivia intensely, viewing her as a bitter and twisted old woman. Her main strategy seemed to be to ruin other peoples lives, taking out all their fun and happiness so they too could live like her, in very miserable circumstances. She ruled her family with a rod of iron and they all seemed to be wary of her almost scared.

However, from reading the book 'Olivia', I can now sympathise with her and understand why she has become the person she is. She has lead a hard life, having to become a person people can rely on. Belinda must have been a nightmare to live with and it must have cut Olivia to the quick when Belinda had an affair with the only man that Olivia truly ever loved - Nelson Childs.

I can truly recommend that you read this book. I am sure that you will enjoy it as much as I have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another bestseller in true V.Andrews style, 20 Feb 2001
The author who took over from the true Andrews genius herself really has her work cut out to be as good,but she has managed with the same passion and flair as Virginia Andrews Its reassuring to know that some writers books don't end when their lives do.If every writer had someone to take over from them there would still be so many talented writers.In that respect Olivia doesn't disappoint. The fifth in the Logan series or first depending on how you wish to read them it really doesn't matter,it's still a great read. Ever wondered if the hardships we encounter in our lives are what mould us or are we born cold,calculating and coniving.In Olivias case the later is true. Olivia was like the ugly duckling only she never grew into the swan she was always outshone by her very vivacious younger sister.Olivias father would have been more proud if she had been a boy. The whole book revolves around the two opposing directions two sisters can take and how their lives can change dramatically by one mistake. A mistake that follows them and all those around them. Olivia is a riveting prequel which shows how one lie can haunt everyones lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Olivia, you can't help but feel sorry for her, 1 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Instead of explaining why Olivia was such a mean and spiteful woman in the previous Logan books, this novel makes you feel sorry for her and dislike her all at the same time. Although the story is written from her point of view she is unlikeable from start to finish. I had more sympathy for Belinda who is an enjoyable character right from the start, not just because she defies Olivia at every opportunity, but because she is less paranoid and simply more 'normal'. This novel makes you think back to previous books in the series where a much older Belinda lives in a mental institution, and it is quite heartbreaking reading 'Olivia' and finding out why and how Belinda ends up there. If I ever met Olivia I'm sure I could bring her back to reality with a bump. Overall, like all the Virginia Andrews books this is a magnificently written story full of conflicting emotions, and one that I simply couldn't put down.
