Review: I started off with Flowers in the attic, being as it is the first book, and I really enjoyed it, so I decided to get the follow up, v.c. andrews is a great writer, but sometimes its a bit confusing. You should give these books a shot, very worthwhile!

Summary: Hasn't lost her touch...
Review: I decided to take a go at reading a genre I wouldn't normally & started with V. C Andrews "Flowers in the Attic", this book totally changed my mind about the things I had been reading previously, as it was so good. I went onto reading "Petals on the Wind", I wondered whether like most series it would be a let down, but it was nothing close. It was full of emotions most books can't portray. It gives you deeper insite into the Dresden Dolls growing up, the now older & seductive Cathy, the painfully depressing Carrie, and the handsome, intellectual Chris. All with their own new issues entering adulthood. It is full of entertainment. I wasn't once bored with this story, I read it in a couple of days. Yes, it was depressing in places, but it made up for it in others. The only downside I thought was that the story made them all grow up to fast, there wasn't much youth & vibrance left by the end like in-Flowers in the attic. I think the fact there was so much loss & change made the story all the more interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a good entertaining, hearty read. I can definitely say it is on my top of the list for good reading material.

Summary: Rather disappointing...
Review: "Flowers in the Attic" was my first step into this genre, and I found it one of the best books I've read. I looked to "Petals on the Wind" with great anticipation, but a short ways in, my enjoyment nearly flatlined. Bad points of the story: The story jumps around a bit too much, and what there is of the story seems to be too many people trying to get into Cathy's tutu. It seems half the time she's sobbing, a word used a bit too often throughout the book. And if she's not sobbing, someone is gripping her to them and telling her how exquisitely beautiful she is and that she belongs to him. Another annoying habit in the story is the placing of an exclamation mark behind Chris' name, as if Cathy is surprised her brother actually shows up. Chris himself doesn't seem to have much personality outside of studying and trying to convince his sister that his love for her isn't wrong, and if it is, oh well. Through some pieces of the story you have to wonder if Cathy left her brain in the attic. At one point I was so disappointed in Catherine, I really didn't want to finish the story, as she thought to herself "Life seemed to me nothing without a man." Lastly, I felt there was excess character killing, with eight deaths (that I counted) throughout the story. Good points of the story: Carrie gets some more attention in the story, but it's mostly bittersweet. The only real redeeming part of the story was settled in the last fifty or so pages, with an excellent revenge set loose on the mother and grandmother. Which almost makes the rest of the story worth reading. In conclusion: Between "I sobbed.", "You're beautiful. You belong to me!" and "Chris!", the author manages to create a mildly entertaining story. But if I had it to do over again, I would have stopped at "Flowers in the Attic" and let my prior image of Cathy's character be.

Summary: Great Book Of Revenge, Love, and Depression
Review: I don't think any of V.C's books could be better than Flowers in the Attic but this one came close. It's definately full of shocks and surprises. Like the first in the Doll. series it's very depresing. It's very nicely written with twists turns, and a few deaths. It's basically all about Cathy finding a man she can love and hang on to and getting revenge on her mother. She eventually does but it's at a price. Like I said this series is VERY DEPRESSING! Because I might have nigtmares. istilll haven't read Seeds Of Yesterday, the last in this series. But a good read and a GREAT CLASSIC.

Summary: Absolutely Brilliant!
Review: This book was just as great as the first one. I felt as though the characters really did exsist once! God i felt so attached to them, it was amazing. This was one book that totally mesmerized me and i just couldn't put it down and if i had to it would pull me back as soon as it could. Its a rollercoaster of emotions! A must read! Although i felt uncomfortable with the whole idea of brother & sister...It felt right in the end for them 2 be together. I can't wait till i get hold of the next one!

Summary: Murder! Madness! Sex! Revenge..
Review: and that's just the begining! Join the three siblings right where "Flowers" left off. I didn't think anything could live up to "Flowers", but "Petals" is just as fascinating. Cathy longs for revenge against her mother, Corrine, and that other evil woman - Grandmother. Chris wants to let it go and move on with his life, but oh, man does this guy have his own issues: He's hopelessly in love with his sister! Meanwhile, the other little sister (can't remember her name right now) just can't seem to continue living without her twin brother Corrie. A nice doctor takes the three of them in and helps them get their lives back on track. But guess what? Yeah, he's got some issues as well...though not quite as bad as the siblings. Cathy can't seem to keep her pants on and Chris can't seem to understand her habits. Finally, Cathy does what she has to do. She carefully plots a revenge tactic that lands her right back in that house, and the attic!! The final couple of chapters will have you climbing the walls! I didn't bother to continue reading the other books after this one, though I heard mixed reviews.
