Summary: Demented.... Disgusting....
Review: What is wrong with American society that people enjoy reading such a sick and twisted novel. It is well-written, I'll admit. Andrews had talent, if only she could have devoted her talent to something worthwhile, rather than cruelty, incest, murder, etc.

For those of you who are now so interested you can't wait to get copy and find out WHAT incest, WHAT cruelty.... shame on you.

What would Freud have to say about this???

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST book ever !!!
Review: I must say this book toke me into Catherine! I was only 12 when I read this book and I don't say it was an easy book to read but I read this book in only 3 weeks! The first book (flowers in the attic) was so incredibly sad (and tragic) that I cried every time. I cried for Catherine for Cory and Carrie even sometimes for Malcolm! When I read the book and I came to the last page I readed it again! And now I still want to read it again! Well I made my dream come thru, I can findly say what I always wanted to say. Now I must read a book for school and I took this one. My teatcher said it was to hard, well he was wrong! This book was the best thing that ever happend to me! I LOVE IT!!!!!! Is there a movie made from???? If there isn't it must been made! From the deepest of my heart Sarah who wanted that all the family was alive

Summary: i have never thought a book could control my life!
Review: i couldnt put this down, not even for a second! v.c. andrews is talented, and gifted in ways i cant even express. i wihs that there were really the dollanganger family! i loved cathys personality, and her childish dreams, and chris's witty personality. i hope every one of the series is as good as these first two books. v.c. andrews is my hero.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Great...for a laugh!
Review: I have a feeling I will probably be in the minority regarding my review of this book. I had read it in middle school many years ago. I read the entire series mostly for a laugh, and I did laugh and become disgusted with the author at the same time. I'm glad I had the opportunity to realize what real writing talent is or else I might have been reading trash like this for the rest of my life. There are so many better books out there that deserve a five star rating...this one, however, is not one of them...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is the BEST!!! Five star work!
Review: Recently a friend told me that they really liked this book,and I was out of decent reading material (R.L. Stine only goes so far before it gets boring,you know?),so I decided to get a copy of "Flowers in the Attic".I was about two when the movie was released,and preexistent when the book was,so I had never heard the story. Needless to say,this book kept me reading.I just finished reading it,and as I type this,it's about four in the morning.My favorite character was Chris,although Cathy was really well written,as well.She was exactly like me when I was little,minus the Ballet thing.Anyway,some people would say that Cathy and Chris were wrong,I don't.The way it was added reminded me of an unchaperoned "Diary of a Young Girl",and now both,along with "Where the Red Fern Grows" are my favorite books,which will stay on my shelf for a very long time,until either they or I go out. If you ever read a book that combines a bit of everything,this was it.It was a horror story,a love story,a sad story,and a story that wrenches the heart and holds the captive hostage with the children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It haunts me still after so many years
Review: I would like to recommend this book to readers of a less impressible age (even though I read it when I was only 12)because of certain aspects of sex, conflicting is-this-love-or-hate issues, and the concepts of moral goodness and evil discussed in the novel.

Flowers in the Attic is a beautifully written story. The 'Dresden' Dollangangers may be made gorgeous beyond cynical belief, but the intensity of Cathy's ability to love, hate, and her never-ending struggle for her feelings towards 'Momma' and Chris is not. It's so real, it hurts, and those who can see the situation as well as through Cathy's eyes will feel her wound as surely as if it happened to you.

It's not for light reading, but good for pondering, wondering about rights and wrongs, wondering about what kind of love people have towards each other, and yes, after so many years, it still haunts me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Talk about love!
Review: This book was pretty good, so were all the others. The one thing I don't really like about it is all the love that's in the book. It makes the book a little pathetic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: its one of the best books ever
Review: this book is like the best. a great plot and everything. if you read this one you have to read petals on the wind which is the squeal and even better. there are 5 books in the seris in all. once you read flowers you'll wanna read them all. my fav. is petals so read these

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Truly Phenomenal Book
Review: Flowers in the Attic is a book that will grip you and not let go. It is the story of four children, hidden away in a cold, dark attic by their selfish mother who will stop at nothing to win back her father's affection and fortune. It is a spellbinding tale of deceit, love, adventure, and intrigue. V.C Andrews wrote this extraordinary book that you won't be able to put down. It is the sequel to Garden of Shadows, the story of the evil Grandmother and the self-indulged mother, Corinne. A great book with an exciting plot and many unexpected turns.

Rating: 4 stars

She agrees with hopes of leaving soon but, before long , she is sucked into a web of jealouicy and soon forgets about her 4 children find out more and read the book.[it's better than the movie]
