Flowers in the Attic (Audioworks)

Summary: This is one great book!!!
Review: Flowers in the Attic was a terrific book, despite the fact that I was around 14 when it came out. I loved it and I have all of her books. Just let me say....My Sweet Audrina is the BEST of all!!!! V.C. Andrews died in 1987, and ever since then, her books have gone downhill!!! Talk about childish!! My 10 year old cousin could read these book!!! V.C. could not possibly have had ALL of these books just lying around her home. Whoever decided to write for her should STOP or get some real material. The Orphans series is the best so far, but poor V.C. must be turning over in her grave about these so called "books". Ever since HEAVEN someone else has been impersonating a well-loved author.

I recomend this book to anyone.

Summary: Such power in literature is very hard to find.
Review: When I first heard about Flowers In The Attic, in seventh grade, I thought it sounded like a trashy romance novel, exactly the kind of story I tended to stray from. But there I was, more than a year later, buying the entire Dollanganger series from a not-so-local library. The tragedy and horror that four naive children suffered alone in an attic was not what drew me into the story; rather, it was the way I felt as much a part of Cathy's world as Cory or Carrie. V.C. Andrews' writing was so deep and thought-provoking that I found myself in vintage clothing stores thinking "Oh, that looks exactly like Cathy's dress would have when...." and things like that. Of course, I had to finish the series. I found the prequel, Garden Of Shadows, shortly after starting the second book, Petals On The Wind (which, in my opinion, was the best in the series) at a used book store. But when I finished Seeds Of Yesterday, the final book, I found myself crying uncontrollably for these characters whom I had known for their entire lives. I couldn't read Garden Of Shadows, not after such a moving experience. I am glad I did not read it first, either. Such pre-knowledge would have ruined much of the books' suspenseful moments. Maybe, someday, when my visions of the Foxworth clan are not so clear as they are now, I will return again to dear old Malcolm...

Summary: Gripping, but unbelievable. My Sweet Audrina = the best VA!!
Review: My main problem with this novel was, WHY? I wanted more about the mother - how could she do it? And what was she feeling? And how could she possibly PRETEND to love her children for ten year then try to kill them for money when her husband died? And what did the Grandmother think? At least the Grandmother's character had some death - the contrast between her saying her prayers at night and the megalomaniac she was during the day was quite interesting. But how could the mother kill her son? And how did Cathy survive it all, without going insane. It was a good story, but it made no sense. It was believeable. You just had to accept that things happened, and as a reader I find that difficult unless there is some pychological study undertaken by the novelist. And what did Chris feel? As a chracter, he disgusted me and yet I felt sorry for him. But I didn't understand him. It's vintage Virgina Andrews, but My Sweet Audrina was the best. (And even that wasn't particularly good!)

Summary: The Best Book in The World

Summary: I Fell In Love With It The First Time I Started To Read It
Review: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS BOOK. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE UGLIEST BOOK I EVER SAW BECAUSE I JUDGED IT BY IT'S COVER. I WAS SO WRONG! I PITIED THOSE FOUR CHILDREN AND I FELT THE PAIN AND RESENTMENT AS IF IT HAPPENED TO ME. WHAT HAPPENED TO CHRIS AND CATHERINE WAS TRULY NOT THEIR FAULTS. I BLAME THEIR MOTHER. I GOT THIS BOOK FOR CHRISTMAS ONE YEAR AND DIDM'T TOUCH IT UNTIL LIKE 8 MONTHS LATER. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. THIS IS THE FIRST AMONGST THE MANY V.C. ANDREWS BOOKS THAT I'VE READ. I STARTED READING THEM WHEN I WAS 12. I READ THE WHOLE DOOLLGANGER SERIES EXCEPT THE PRE-SEQUEL. YOU SHOULD DEFINITLEY READ THIS BOOK. THERE ARE MORE TWISTS THAN A ROLLER COASTER!

Rating:
Summary: A top read
Review: I have read the full series and found them so gripping that I sat up nearly all night reading them. The perfect book for having tissues!!!!!

Rating:
Summary: A true original Gothic horror!!!
Review: Flowers in the Attic, just the name is enough to hook you, this book, is hard to describe, it is romantic, scary, and amazing. It tears out your heart, and makes you feel un-describable emotions, it's an amazing novel that will keep readers turning the pages. I have read this book several times, and each time, it stirs the emotions, and remains as powerful and extraordinary as the first time. All readers should read this dark, intense novel, which is a story of love, hate, deprivation and contempt, it shows how easily love can be betrayed, and how dreams can be lost.

Summary: Flowers In the Attic Is Touching!
Review: This is my favorite book. I just read it 4 days ago. But the only problem was that I didn't get to finish the last 30 pages.

Rating:
Summary: One of the best books ever written.
Review: I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It gave me the feeling that I was part of the book. You feel pity for Cathy and come to know her as a friend. But all that in a short version, it was the best book ever.
