Summary: terrific, thought provoking
Review: I loved this book so much!! I was really surprised when it turned out to be the mother who was so evil. I liked how the author made the mom so sweet and loving in the beginning and then she turned so evil. I felt betrayed, as if I was one of the kids. You should definetly read this book!

Summary: BETTER THAN THE MOVIE
Review: V.C. ANDREWS USUALLY HAS THE SAME THINGS HAPPEN TO ALL HER FEMALE LEADS IN HER BOOKS, BUT THIS IS THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL. RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING WITH THE DEATH OF CATHERINE'S FATHER AND MOVING BACK WITH THE FAMILY THAT HAD DISOWNED HER MOTHER, IN SECRECY OF COURSE...DOWN TO THE INCESTOUS RELATIONSHIP THAT DEVELOPED BETWEEN BROTHER AND SISTER, THIS STORY WAS CHILLING DOWN TO THE BONE. FOR SOMEONE TO EVEN THINK A PARENT COULD DO SUCH THINGS TO THEIR OWN FLESH IS HORRIFYING. OVERALL, THE BOOK WAS ONE I COULDN'T PUT DOWN AND FINISHED WITHIN ONE HOUR

Summary: A Truly Extraordinary Novel
Review: I was absolutely mesmerized by this novel and the movie of the same name, and I've never forgotten it, never will. As far as really, really captivatingly weird storylines go, this one has to rank near the very top. This is the story of a brother and sister who were disowned by their very rich and strict parents because of their unnatural love for one another. They have four children together, but then he unexpectedly dies. As a result, she returns home and falls at her parents' feet, begging forgiveness. Her stern father beats her as punishment, which she submits to so that she will appease his wrath and get his love for her back, and get written back into the will. But the existence of her four children must be kept a secret, since her father would never accept them. This shameful incestuous secret is kept locked away up in the attic--that's where the children are kept hidden and out of sight. Their mother visits them and keeps promising that soon they'll be let out of the attic and everything will be just fine. In time, however, her love grows cold and she visits them less and less, selfishly preoccupied with her happy new lavish lifestyle and the new man in her life, while her children start to get sick. Two of them die. Their food is being poisoned. The two eldest surviving children begin to realize that their mother has been slowly, methodically, and calculatingly killing them off! Will they be her final victims, or will they escape Foxworth Hall? This immensely popular novel has sold 40 million copies! It's such an engrossing story!!David Rehak
author of "A Young Girl's Crimes"

Summary: Now this is what VCA writing is about...
Review: Ahh...back in the old days, VCA books were well-written, detailed, and very, very creepy. This book sent chills running down my spine, it was that morbid. I'm not going to bother telling the plot, as other people have done that already, and in doing so would only make these reviews boring. If you are new to VCA books, I highly recommend that you pick this book up, My Sweet Audrina, the remainder of this series, and the first three books of the Heaven series up at your local bookstore BEFORE you read any of the new stuff. Why? Because this stuff is well-written, and if you read any of the modern garbage, you might get so turned off, you'll never read these wonderful, old books. The characters were extremely fleshed out, the plot was good, and the writing made me feel as if I was sitting there, observing everything. It really is a great book and I think anybody who is interested in VCA writing should read the old stuff first.

Summary: Flowers in the Attic
Review: I will say that this book took me awhile to get into it. It begins slow but picks up steam so to speak midway through the middle on up into the end and I beleive the reason might have been because I already knew what would happen for I had seen the movie which does no justice at all to the book yes there is a incestous relationship between the brother and sister but you have to understand they stayed locked up for 3 years they turned to the only people they trusted and that was themselves of course this book is nothing but tragedy through and through everything the kids endured from the arsenic to haveing to eat mice in order to survive V.C. Andrews was able to make me feel the pain and the sorrow that Carrie Chris and Cathy went through to get out of there own private hell I would recommend this book to anyone 15 or older
