Flowers In The Attic

Rating:
Summary: One of the best books ever written.
Review: I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It gave me the feeling that I was part of the book. You feel pity for Cathy and come to know her as a friend. But all that in a short version, it was the best book ever.

Summary: Sad-really hits the heart
Review: This book was excellent! I could not put it down once I started. To think of a mother denying her own children the joys of life(and light), is so sad. I read and re-read this book so many times to count. These books get to you and you end up going out to find the next one! publish faster!!!

Summary: A most enthralling and heart touching series
Review: The Dollanganger Saga is an enthralling and heart touching series. I couldn't put the novels down. Flowers in the Attic was a shocking and tear wrenching novel and is a credit to V.C. Andrews. The way that the story line reaches right into the readers heart made me feel like I was Cathy, locked up in the attic. The following novels were no dissapointment as many sequels are, but brought their characters alive again. After reading each book I couldn't get the Dresden Dolls and their children out of my mind and nearly ran to the store to get the next in the series. The ending of 'Seeds of Yesterday' was sad and not the fairytale ending that we all hope for. But the ending matched everything else V.C. Andrews writes, ENTHRALLING. I was left fulfilled with the way the series finished and I only wish that I had a Jory of my own. A must read, and a loss to those who don't.

Summary: A WONDERFUL BOOK
Review: I found this book very interesting. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. It was as if I was actually locked up in the attic with Cathy, Chris, Carrie, and Cory. I felt the same pains they did and I cried many times. I also found myself hating the grandmother, especially the mother. At one point in the book I got so mad at the mother I screamed out "WITCH" and sent the book soaring across my room. This is a remarkable book, and has touched me. Everyone should have a chance to read it.

Summary: This is my favorite book in the world!
Review: I have read this book so many times I practically know it by heart. It is so well written, the way it tells of the lives of four innocent children, who are denied the right to a healthy, normal life. I recommend this book to everyone!

Summary: 'Flowers' is awesome
Review: VC Andrews first book is also her best. The dark twisted tale of four kids locked up in an attic by a uncaring mother and insane grandmother is one of my favourite books. It's almost haunting in it's horror, but has moments of intense beauty. The relationship between Cathy and Chris is SO wacko, but it is also, at the same crazy time, sweet. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll love the book.

Summary: The best stories I have ever read!!!
Review: A friend of mine let me borrow her collection and I couldn't put it down. I was so involved with the series that I almost felt like a part of it. Carrie is truly a dazzling caracter. I hated to see her grow up. When I was done reading, I felt a saddness because it had ended.

Summary: Intruiging and spellbinding read, definetely Andrew's best!
Review: As one of Andrew's first novels, Flowers in the Attic is definetely the most exciting and captivating novel of any of her series novels. The well-developed characters jump off the page at the same time as pulling you in to make you a part of the story. The contrast in the characters of the four children are well-explored, as are the changes that they indure during the novel. The characters are well-rounded and realistic and their emotions positively reach out and touch the reader. The changing nature of the relationship between Cathy and Chris is a realistic and fascinating look at the changes wrought in adolescence and the way that these changes can manifest themselves in such horrifying circumstances. All in all this is a fantatic book, original, insightful into the human spirit and into human greed and desire. Definetely a must-read!

Summary: Pretty Standard Stuff
Review: Not much new offered here. Which would have been OK, had there been some illumination, some new insight, maybe just a little depth of characterization, any scintilla of literary value. Of course, if all you're after is beach-blanket redux, you may not care. If you're looking for something with a little more meat, try Dan Simmons.
