Summary: Blowing in the Wind indeed
Review: "Flowers in the Attic" to this day remains one of my all time favorite books. Anyone caught in it's spell could not possibly not want to read the sequel and see what happened to the three children that escaped the clutches of the Attic and their evil grandmother.Well........for one this story is a bit far fetched. Did V.C. Andrews even write this? Didn't she die after 'Flowers' and has had a ghost writer for the last twenty years? Anyway they leave the attic and get on a bus, headed for Sarasota, Florida to join the circus. Instead they run into a mute housekeeper who takes them to her employer, a doctor. As in real life, this complete stranger befriends the three of them. He adopts Carrie, sends Chris through medical school and helps Cathy follow her dream of being a ballerina. In the course of this of course, the doc falls in love with Cathy while Chris is still in love with her sister. The great confrontation which ends in a disappointing anti-climax is when Cathy meets her grandmother again. You remember 'Flowers'? The hate, the fear, the helplessness. Remember how badly we wanted Cathy to get away? Well now the shoe is on the other foot. After a stroke, the grandmother lays helpless, though alert. Cathy stands over her with a switch and strips the helpless grandmother. The anger is burning in Cathy's eyes. The fear is in the grandmother's..... I'll stop here. You just have to see what happens. I for one was disappointed. The story ends with a great fire that destroys the mansion and it's evil, forboding attic.

Review: Petals on the wind would have to be my favorite out of the series to me this book was just a great page turner I kept thinking what will happen next although the were somethings I didn't like in the book for example I never really like the Julian charcter nor did I care for how Cathy pretty much slept around with certain guys and yes granted this was her idea of revenge which she gets in this book the things that stand out in my mind where towards the end of the book like did the grandfather really know that Corrine had the children and urged her to kill them and what really happened to Cory's body and this is also the only time I have ever felt compassion for the grandmother after Cathy confronted her in the end the book was a great sequel to F I T A

Review: Do half of you dumb asses realize that V.C Andrews DID INDEED write this novel? It wasn't until 1987 that she finally passed away. So how about you make sure that your information is correct before writing a review that rips apart a great novel by a great author.
