Summary: This is the book that started the V.C. Andrews' phenomenon.
Review: This amazing, chilling yet touching book is one of the best that I have ever read. It tells the story of 4 kids that are brutalized by a heartless mother and grandmother, trapped by the coldness of greed. As you read this book you will laugh with the kids and feel their pain. You will come to admire the strength that it takes for these children to deal with the tragedy that their lives have become. You will come to love the compelling and suspenseful writing style of a talented author that was taken too soon from this world. Read this book. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read
Review: This book is wonderful, one of the greatest out there. I would just like to say that this book is not racist. They are a white family with blonde hair and blue eyes, and they never go out into the world so that is really all they know. I suggest that everyone with a problem with that sould get over it and just not read the book. If you don't like it don't look at it, you know? I think it is ridiculous that race is being dragged into every aspect of our lives.

Summary: a depressing,sad,romantic, and altogether fantastic book
Review: with a depressing start, this book starts off with a bang!
it captures you from the beginning. being told by cathy through the book about how her mother betrays the children by locking them in a terrible prison... an attic, with only themselves for company they create a pretend family to rely on when a member of the family is upset. and as cathy and her older brother are going through their teenage years you can imagine what will happen.
the depressing start ends up reflecting the end of the book as a member of the family dies.
this book has as much drama as the second so i recomend anyone who reads this first to read the second, petals on the wind, as it has as much romance as the first if not more and a lot more drama.
this book is not recomended by me for younger readers as it is not suitable.
i give this book 4 stars because it captures you from the very start and you will not e able to put it down until the very end of the series.
happy reading!!

Summary: For the African American Soldier
Review: More proof that African Americans are the most racist group in America.

Summary: a comment to another reviewer
Review: did you ever think maybe the blonde hair blue eyed stuff being repeated all the time was kind of saying something like "oh, look at how normal they all seem" when really they aren't, with all that stuff happening to them..and maybe it's supposed to be like that..that it's some form of irony?

Summary: A comment to another reviewer
Review: I also have a comment for the African American reader. Perhaps the reason there weren't many Black people in the book was because the book was all about a family locked up away from everything and everyone. A white family. I really don't think that the author was trying to be offensive or racist. And I think you missed the point of the book.

Summary: KKKK
Review: I haven't read this book, but i have a coomment to the African American person. I have many friends who are black, and i am white. I see no reason why you should discriminate against white people unless you want them to discriminate against you.

Summary: Freaky nasty white incest...
Review: My title pretty much sums this book up. I read it several times and I can see how it would appeal to younger people. But as an African American, I find the VC Andrews books are so racist, its shocking how so many read it and scary as hell why they dont see it. I mean the author meantions blue eyes and blond hair on every other page! The single black character was not even given an identity! She had no life, no ability to speak...you know, just the typical, 300 pound, fat big black woman that has no life except to take care of dem good ole pretty little white children. Give me a break. The brother and sister are so beautiful and lonely that they fall in love with eachother and screw in the attic...inbreeders!...just like mom and pop!...and the sickest part is that this racist garbage sold millions. What does that say to you about this society? If this book taught me anything it taught me just how in love white people are with themselves.

Summary: The Best Book Ever!!!!
Review: OMG I loved this book!! At first it took me a little bit to get into the book, but I am glad that I stuck with it. The book is about a family that loses their father in a car accident, and their mother doesn't know what to do with her kids. So she takes them to her mom and dads house. When they get there, they are all immediately sent up to the attic where they will live until their mother wins back the love of her father. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read!!
