Review: I'm the kind of person who doesn't usually like to read. But this book was so good, I couldn't put it down. It's full of suspense and it leaves you feeling how the characters in the book felt. I've read it about three times and will continue to read it because each time I realize something new.

Summary: This book was truly amazing!
Review: My mother read this book, as an adult, and one day while in a used bookstore, she found an old copy of Flowers in the Attic. I wasn't thrilled about reading it, and it sat on my bookshelf, untouched, for ages. But one day, I decided to give the book a chance. Let me tell you, I couldn't put it down.....it was truly amazing! I have never read a book so in tune with the somewhat harsh ways of reality. I reccomend this book to booklovers everywhere.....you will definately not be dissapointed!

Summary: not that great
Review: i thought it was a tad trashy, even though it was capitvating with a great storyline. I think five stars is reserved for the likes of the English patient, in the skin of a lion, sacred hunger, alias grace; true pieces of literature excellence.

Summary: wonderful story and great ending and I saw the movie too!
Review: I liked it a lot and it related to me in a way. I watched the movie too. I thought it really was interesting how the ending came to be and I have a lot of books by V.C. Andrews. The ones I have are the collection of the orphan books. They related to me a lot more and are exciting stories.

Summary: Interesting and captivating story!!
Review: Although this is my first V. C. Andrews novel, I found myself caught up in the story from the very beginning. At times, the story seemed difficult to believe, I found myself anxious to read the next chapter. I particularly like the devolpment of the children through a "normal" lifestyle and watch it transform into a "nightmare" lifestyle. The children's gullibility is exploited with the reader questioning how these poor kids could be treated this way. I disliked some of the Chapters which seemed to basically fill space serving no real purpose to the overall story(i.e. Holiday's Chapter, etc). Despite my dislike, I have quickly started reading the next book in the series. I found this book difficult to put down.

Summary: Best book ever written!
Review: If ever there was a book more deserving of high acclaim, it is "Flowers in the Attic". You can almost touch the childrens' plight and you almost pray that the kids would go to the authorities to reveal this gruesome crime. Their love and comradrery for each other is more than touching.

Review: I thought this book was a wonderful example of good literature. I loved everything about it. I could actually picture everything Andrews wrote. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who can read!!

Summary: A gripping, suspenseful, original masterpiece
Review: I've read most of V.C. Andrews'novels and this is definitely one of my favorites. Having started out by first reading one written by the ghostwriter(Secrets of the Morning---book 2 in the Cutler series,)I finally came upon Andrews' originals. I must say that nothing compares to the Dollanganger and Casteel series, and My Sweet Audrina. With Flowers in the Attic, Andrews truly demonstrates the power of her writing. The novel contains such vivid, heartwrenching scenes of innocence, betrayal, maturity, and the struggle for hope by four kids just trying to survive against the odds. The book also addresses the issues of adolescence, which adds a sense of realism and truth to the novel. I'm 15 and I found a lot of the issues discussed in the book to be relevant to what I'm going through now. The subject matter is certainly a topic of interest in itself. The whole story idea, of four kids, locked away because of forces beyond their control, is so creative and original. The idea of using children and young teenagers for main characters is what truly distinguishes Flowers in the Attic from Andrews' later novels, especially the ghostwriter's. This novel is a true treat for anyone interested in reading not just gothic horror or another one of Andrews' terrific books, but also anyone who wants to read about the experiences of growing up and life. A great book for people of all ages, but especially for teens.
