Flowers In The Attic

Rating:
Summary: Flowers in the Attic is the best book you can read.
Review: You could not possibly find a better book than Flowers in the Attic. While reading this book you feel like you are one of the charactors. I cryed when Cathy,Carrie,Corry, or Chris were harmed. This is the first V.C. Andrews book I have ever read, and it will always be my favorite. You can't just stop reading this book at the end of a chapter. You'll have to continue reading until your through with the book

Summary: I give it a definite two thumbs up--10!!
Review: Although I've read all of Andrews' books, this is still my favorite. I've read it so many times I've lost count, and I think she has the best writing style of any author out there. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good read. I guarantee you won't be able to put it down!

Summary: A Modern Classic
Review: Flowers in the attic is one of the best books of the 20th century. It was the first book I read of V. C. Andrews. I got addicted and I ran out to buy the sequels and other series. I even joined a V. C. Andrews club on the internet. Had I not picked up Flowers in the Attic at the bookstore, I would have missed out on 20+ great books. It and the rest of the series are my favourite books of all time. I'm sure nothing I read from now on will come close (and believe me, I have read many, many books). To me, Flowers in the attic is a modern classic which should be praised as a great book. I still enjoy (the late) V. C. Andrews' series and wait upon release for every new novel

Summary: Simply extravagant~!
Review: This book, Flowers in the Attic, by VC Andrews is simply the best book that I have ever read. The author captures the readers imagination, and makes you feel like you are the main character~! She portrays the characters with so much imagination that you feel like they are your best friend. When the book ends, it makes you want to sit up and beg the author to write more. The sequals to this book are as magnifiscent as the first~! I couldn't put any of them down~

Summary: Anne Frank, meet Cathy Foxworth
Review: As a member of the literary coterie (I am an English teacher and a librarian) I fear banishment for this review. My fears are founded in this unabashed statement: "Flowers in the Attic" is analogous to "The Diary of a Young Girl." This analogy stems from one glaring similarity: a group of people forced into hiding. I know what you're thinking: "How does one similarity, which may be incidental, make an analogy?" If you read like I do, you'll undoubtedly see the comparison between the "Diary" and "Flowers." The grandfather symbolizes WWII. Corrine promises her children that her father will die any day. The Allied nations of WWII promised a swift end to tyranny. After the grandfather's death, the children continue to suffer. Thousands of people were killed after the Axis conceded. In the grandmother, I see Hitler. True, V.C. Andrews' Hitler is a large woman rather than a short man. Still, the grandmother controls the lives of her grandchildren, her family, like Hitler controlled the lives of the Jews that once contributed so much to German society. The grandmother preached racial purity, just like her nonfictitious counterpart. Corrine, the children's mother, symbolizes Hitler's henchmen. She devises the psychotic plans to eliminate her children; plans she is able to carry out as long as the children are held captive by the war (the grandfather) and Hitler (the grandmother). Foxworth Hall symbolizes the German Empire. Of course, differences are present to make "Flowers" its own literary entity. Namely, three of the four Foxworth children (a majority) escape by train instead of a majority of a race travelling by train to meet their deaths. Still, one can not help thinking of the Holocaust while reaching "Flowers." The world is not compelled to make sure the destruction of a race never happens again, and because truth is more poignant than fiction, one is not compelled to read the remaining four books in Andrews' Dollanganger series. After all, a female protagonist who exclaims "good-golly day" repeatedly is difficult to take serously

Summary: They Are Awesome!!

Summary: the best book there is
Review: This is a totally wonderful book. I kept my eyes glued to the pages and couldn't put it down. I reccomend it to anyone who likes a good story, plot and especially a suprise ending. It's horrible what happens to Chris, Cathy, Carrie and Cory but it's very very very very very worth reading. This book is what got me started reading V.C. Andrews books. It is very well written, and my favorite. When you read it, there won't be a doubt that it will instantly become your favorite too. V.C. Andrews has a rare gift
