Flowers In The Attic

Summary: What can I say but it's the best
Review: Flowers in the Attic is one of the best books I have read along with all the others that Andrews has written. A friend of mine let me borrow her copy of it even though I was not a big book reader. I started to read it and I couldn't put it down and now I like to read. I recomment this book to all you people who find it hard to keep intrested in books because I've been there.

Summary: One of the greatest books of all time
Review: This was a great start of the Dollanganger series and I recommend this book to anyone. True, most of the other books repeat the pattern of incest, but still they are wonderful books. I can't see how a mother could leave her children locked in an attic, and especially the sugared donuts (I can't spoil it - read the book and find out what I'm talking about if you don't know). I read the book before I saw the movie (luckily). The movie was horrible, and if I hadn't already read the book, I wouldn't have. Based on the movie, the book would be awful. I guess, based on the book, the movie is awful. But this book is really very good, you can see right into Cathy's world, feel every pain and heart-wrenching moment. I cried when she did and I laughed when she did. I felt I was her while reading the book. I could see every detail of the small room and attic. Over all it was the best!

Summary: VERY EXCELLENT BOOK.!!!!!
Review: Never have I read a book more complelling more mind-boggling than V.C. ANDREW'S FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC. For the very first time i couldn"t put down the book. I discovered her book when i was doing my homework in the library and then I picked it up and started reading it. I felt like them. Like I was there with them experiencing what they are experiencing. Because of that I bought all of her books and even got the chance to tape the movie in the cable. Until now i still read it. And its still like reading it for the first time again and again.

Summary: BEST HORROR NOVEL OF ALL-TIME!!!!!!
Review: I think that "Flowers....." has so much depth and creativity to it. There is so much scandal and mystery in the story, that I have no idea where V.C. Andrews could have gotten all her descriptive ideas from. The novel is set in Virginia in the late 1950's and ends in the early '60s. It's about 4 children who are sent to their wealthy grandparents' mansion and there they discover a terrible secret about their mother, father, and eachother. You can't put it down! A must read for a person who loves horror. But, understand that it has a lot of mature subject matter, almost disturbing even. Including abuse, rape, incest, etc. Even though, it is still good and entertaining. Better than all those trashy soap operas and talk shows. A must-read!!!!! You'll feel like you're in their world. Cathy (the narrator) will soon be your favorite heroine. Read it A.S.A.P!

Summary: This book is the best book i have ever read.
Review: Flowers in the Attic is one of those books that a person gets lost in. I am proud to say that of all the V.C. Andrews books, the Flowers in the Attic series is by far the best. I just wish that V.C. Andrews was still alive to see how her legacy has continued through the years.

Summary: THIS IS A BOOK YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO PUT DOWN!!!
Review: I LOVED THE BOOK! IT KEPT ME IN SUSPENCE THE WHOLE TIME. THE MOVIE, WAS KIND OF DUMB, BECAUSE AT THE END THE MOTHER DIES. I WISH IT WOULD HAVE WENT ON TO THE NEXT BOOK, SO CATHY COULD HAVE TORTURED HER MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER. I WISH THEY COULD HAVE HAD A SEQUEL TO THE MOVIE!!!

Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: ONE DAY, MY AUNT JUDY LET ME BORROW SOME OF HER BOOKS. WHEN I SAW THOSE V.C. ANDREWS BOOKS SHE HAD, I KNEW I HAD TO READ THEM. AND I DID I AM ONLY 14 AND I READ FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC, GARDEN OF SHADOWS, PETALS IN THE WIND, AND IF THERE BE THORNS. THESE ARE THE COOLEST BOOKS IN THE WORLD. I READ THEM OVER AND OVER THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM. I THINK THE BOOK WAS WAY SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE MOVIE. THE BOOK IS MORE DESCRIPTIVE AND DESCRIBES MORE DETAIL. I THINK THE MOVIE WAS GREAT, BUT THE BOOK WAS MARVELOUS! IT WAS SO MARVELOUS, THAT I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT THE COPIES MYSELF.

Summary: Chillling
Review: I read this book for the first time when I was in 8th grade. I think I have read it at least twenty times since. The story sweeps you from your living room into the attic of an enormous house. Your family now consists of a cold-hearted mother, an evil grand-mother, the twins, and Cathy and Chris. With vivd and detailed description, you finsish this novel feeling as though you have woken from a horrific dream. Anguish fills your heart over the children that "mom" forgot, and over the complete loss of innocence. It gives 'Feral children' a frighteningly real picture, and keeps you turning pages. Romance, horror, murder, and deciet, this book fills your heart, and your mind, with respect for the author, and elation, because it didn't happen to you.

Summary: Unforgetable tale of fear, hate, love and tragedy.
Review: My friend loves this book and told me to read it and so I did. It's the best I've ever read. The plot has so many twists and turns it makes you dizzy, the writing is truely brilliant (plot unfolds quickly and does not linger on) and the caracters are so well discribed that you know exactly what they're like and how they look. I saw the film and was amazed to see how much it's different from the book (my friend counted 47 differences!). I'm 13 and an avid reader and I must say nothing I've read beats VC Andrews. It's got everything: drama, romance and terror. Everything you need in a good book. Flowers in the Attic is my fav book and I know I'll never forget the horrifying tale of the four Dresden Dolls.

Summary: Incredible! Definetely Believable!!!
Review: This book is incredible! It tells a story of the physical abuse of four innocent children locked up, living in their own world. Most importantly, the book tells you the experiences of these children and the life long traumas that affect them in every aspect of their lives. The book is incredible, you can't NOT read the sequels! You can't put this book down! It is an awesome story written with incredible talent. READ IT AND SEE WHAT I MEAN!
