Summary: An incredible tear-jerker with a shocking twist!
Review: I was told that Flowers in the Attic was a horror story to begin with in order to get me to read it, but I was near tears in the "Good-bye Daddy" chapter. I must admitt I was a bit shocked at what happened between Cathy & Chris the first time I read it, but very few authors can pull it off and I think V.C. got away with it gracefully! I have read Flowers in the Attic twice now and will probably finish up my third time by tonight. I was hit by a car in Jan., so my family bought me all of the books in the series including the hard cover edition of Garden of Shadows, and I had plenty to do while recovering! Very impressed!

Summary: Stunning!!! A truly enchanting book!
Review: This book is a truly magical and stunning book. It is all about the feelings, emotions and love of a girl called Cathy. Cathy and her 3 other siblings have to cope with the torments and rules of a wicked Grandmother and a selfish mother. During the time they spend together they learn secrets of one another. chris and cathy have a very special realationship, they are not just like brothers and sisters they are more like best friends, and towards the end of the book their fellings towards each other grow beyond a love that is mere friendship, they soon begin to lust for each other, in the end Chris's overwhelming desire, cannot hold out and he ends up raping Cathy. the thought of incest to many people means that you're lives must be corrupt, and that you must have something wrong with you, well before I read this book I thought that too but from this book i realised that Chris had nothing wrong with him and Cathy was not a sick teenager herself and Chris were just teenagers who wondered about the gift of love making, and from spending so long together with the oppisate sex in the teenage years became to much. I just wich that That the Dollandger family would come alive and i could exspress my opinions with Cathy. If you haven't read this book yet, buy it don't rent it, bacause if you're like me you will want to keep theis tale close to your side.

Summary: Story of passion , human nature,and a greedy Mom!
Review: i loved this book ! i first saw the movie not too long ago and loved it. then a friend told me to read the book.The book is great for teens and women.the relationship between cathy and chris starts off like family and turns to lust, whitch is totally natural 4 a boy and a girl locked up in an attic during developing years. Not all peope will go 4 this book, i had a friend who read it and thought it was too corny w/ all of the families names to start w/ c and too much unimportant stuff.All in all i loved it! i can't wait 2 git the next book(i didn't know until now there was!)=)

Summary: Laughed, cried, got angry....absolutely loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I cannot even begin to express my love of this book. I'm totally speechless. Well, not really, so, here it goes. From the moment I picked up this book, I literally could not put this book down. I stayed up until 3 am for half a week reading Flowers in the Attic and Petals on the Wind. I was so in love with Cathy. My papaw had to force the book out of my hands. I absolutely loved it. How anyone could think this book was trash, I don't know. But I think it was probably the best book I have ever read and is right up there with Anne of Green Gables and Little Women. The plot is just so disturbing, yet it hads so much suspence to the rest of V.C. Andrews's books. To think someone of that much love, could lock her children away for 2 years, 5 months, and 16 days. I gave it to my friend and that's all we did while she was over at my house was read. I intend to give it to my other friends as soon as Lacey gets through with it. I have all the sequels except for If There Be Thorns, which I've already ordered. I just cannot believe how great this book is. You have to read it. It's worth all the stars in the galaxy. And I know my writing, considering I'm a writer myself, so believe me. Go out and buy it,(not rent it), buy it, because you will want to read the story of Cathy, Chris, Cory, and Carrie over and over again. I love this book and it definitly gets my approval. If any young readers out there share my opinion of this book, please email me, I would love to talk to some readers of this book and it's sequels.

Summary: why is trash like this still in print????
Review: I found this book and its sequels to be worthless trash! All of VC Andrews books are about incest! How can anyone think the relationship between Cathy and Christopher is beautiful...its gross!!! As another reader pointed out, how many normal people would actually sleep with his/her sibling after seeing him/her 24/7. I am ashamed to say I have even read this book! If you want a book that is beautiful and worthwhile to read, don't look at books by VC Andrews...before and after her death!

Summary: It is o.k. in some parts.
Review: The first part of the book is o.k. But I have to say I liked the second part of the book better. And in a way it was really boring. I have read better though.

Summary: Virgina Andrews was an excellent Writer until her death
Review: Flowers in the Attic was just the beginning to a wonderful Saga about a family filled with horrible secrets and mysterious endings. Cathy and Chris and their twin brother and sister are locked in the attic of their grandmothers mansion. Until a time-or so told by their mother- that they can leave without the knowledge of their grandfather who is on the verge of dying.V.C. Andrews was a wonderful writer she had seen a side to human nature which is not expressed much in modern literature. For people looking for sex, mystery, and deception this and the rest of the books written by her BEFORE her death in 1986 are works of art. All books written by her Ghost Andrew after her death are just money ploys by the publisher and The Andrews estate to make a fortune off a dead womans name. But if we look at the books written by V.C. Andrew before her death we see a genius who wrote what she felt and wrote what only others fantasize about.

Summary: Trash
Review: I enjoy reading V.C. Andrews - for a laugh. Please. All of the Andrews writing is a crock, I mean Dawn and Ruby had exactly the same plot except one was staged in Louisiana and the other was in Virginia. I liked Flowers in the Attic when I was thirteen. Then I discovered real writing talent. This has got to be the worst novel ever written. How many of you would have romantic feelings for your brother after spending three years 24/7 in the same room with him? None? I didn't think so.
