Summary: I absolutly loved it!
Review: One day, when I was around 10 years old, I stumbled across a book, entitled "Flowers in The Attic", by a woman named V.C. Andrews. I brought it home, opened it, and haven't been able to put it down. Since then(for 4 years), I have been reading her work every chance that I get. Her books are truly unique, and tell a story of struggles and bravery, of deception and happiness, but most of all, they tell of people that we rarely if ever would even think about. It truly was a tradgedy when I learned that she had died, since now I will never even dream of getting to know her, but her memory will always live on in her books. Anyhow, I think that if you enjoy a good piece of liturature, that you should definitly get this book now.

Summary: V.C. Andrews at her Best
Review: This is the classic V.C. Andrews book. I remember borrowing it from a friend of mine when I was 12 after I read "My Sweet Audrina" which had just come out. My friend told me that "I had to read this book. I was up until 4 in the morning because I could not put it down. I got the rest of the books over the summer. The only downfall for the book is who ever decided to make it into a movie and totally ruined it. The book was so great and then that horrible movie came out. I know people who have just seen the movie and say why would I even want to read that book? Her later books are great, but now I am getting tired of the recurring them of the bad mother, the humiliation and of course the heroine winding up with either a - her brother or b- someone she thought was her brother!! Whoever they got to fill in the books after she died might want to start going another route. It's happening in the Melody series already!!

Summary: the series that should have died when the writer did
Review: v.c. andrews recieves my award for worst writer(s) of all time. i forced myself to read several of her books just to teach myself how not to write. i might understand someone getting some pleasure out of reading her books, but fail to see how anyone could give her a ten. 'course, thats just my opinion

Summary: My absolute, all time favorite book!
Review: I was a precocious child- I read this book at at age 9. This book is brilliant. It presents strife and misery, yet at the end, the characters have found hope and love. It is an extremely unusual plot, even though in her later (as in, posthumous) books, VC Andrews recycled many of the same plotlines. This book will stay with you for all your life. The characters are drawn so vividly, the setting so realistically, and the plot so hauntingly, you will not be able to shake this reading experience for a long, long time

Summary: Recommended reading: V.C. Andrews's Flowers In The Attic
Review: Although this isn't the best work of fiction I've ever read, it remains one of my favorites. I read it on a yearly basis almost, and every single time, it's as if I'm reading it with new eyes. This is the ONE and ONLY of Ms. Andrews's books that I found comepletely original. After her death, everything else released under her name was written by a ghost author, and none of it was half as good as Flowers In The Attic. The rest of the series is well written too, but keep in mind, she only wrote about 3 of the sequels. Her Casteel series is half wriiten by her own hand as well. But sadly, after either the 2nd or 3rd novel in that series, she died. I don't understand why her family permits these 'ghost' novels to be published under her name, unless they are doing it for the money. It's a disgrace, and they are beginning to make a mockery of her great talent as a writer. Because every single new book that comes out under her name is the same old thing! And I think all V.C. Andrews fans are getting tired of the same old thing. Let the woman and her marvelous work rest in peace

Summary: A Swan Dive Into The Very Depths of Humanity
Review: V.C.Andrews stooped to repulsion for a moment then brought me back to the overwhelming elation of impending hope. Every emotion I have ever felt was presented to me at the turn of each page. This book is an absolute, "Can't put it down"! I started reading it at a friends house in one town and had to let someone else drive, while I read in the car on the way back home. I had never read any book in the car before and haven't since. If you only read one book in your lifetime, this is one book you must read............ The series following is good stuff but nothing compares to "Flowers In The Attic".... It is truly the, Last House On The Left, of the literary world....

Summary: Once you start, you can't stop.
Review: I enjoyed this series very much in its whole. The
books are very well written and you experience
all kinds of feelings, from horror to understanding,
to disbelief. To understand the ending, you must
read the entire thing. More than once, I wanted to
hop right into the story and warn the children or
help them in any way I could! However, I felt that
after a while, there were some unnecessary lengths
throughout the series. I didn't want to skip anything
because I wanted to be sure to understand all of it,
but I wanted to get to the end at a certain point.
Also, one single human being can only take so much
in his/her life and the good days were much fewer
than the bad. But what can I say... I still loved it!

Summary: Thrilling, Heart wrenching, Great read.
Review: It is a story of four children who had to go live in thier grandmothers attic after thier father was killed.The grandmother did not approve of them because they were born from sibilings who thought they were really only cousins. The children were whipped,starved,poisoned by thier grandmother and even by thier own mother.One child did end up dead.In the end they did find a way out of the attic and away from horrible suffering that was layed apon them.I could say more , but it is better if you read the book for your self. And thier is I believe four more in the series. I promise you will laugh ,cry, fill anger,and you will love every word of it!!!!!!!!!
