Petals on the Wind

Summary: Cathy of the Attic does not fit the real world
Review: The book in which the four Dresden dolls finally escape was disappointing. Yes, I was expecting horror galore, but this was ridiculous. I understand that Cathy had to experience terrible things in order to prove she could overcome them, but this girl turned into a conceited psycho. I'll admit she is strong, and was a good mother to Carrie and her children, and I understand her feeling of revenge (who couldn't?) but she who supposedly cared for Chris so much and wanted him to have a normal life, really broke his heart and would not let him find another. I really did not like any of the weak male characters either. The pattern of this book was odd--but I will give it this it wasn't boring, and the Flowers series really makes you think.

Summary: Great!
Review: I loved this book and Flowers in the Attic. I loved that Cathy finally got revenge with her mother. But the ending was freaky. It sounded as if cathy was really going to lock up Bary and Jory? I can't wait to read the next one! May V.C. Andrews Rest In Peace:(

Summary: A guilty pleasure
Review: I contiually chastised myself for reading such trash, but I guess that only added to the fun... it really makes me wonder how the author's mind worked! Constant themes of incest, abuse, humiliation (miscarriages in public)tragedy, despair, hopelessness and hate fill the pages of this book. Still, it has an innocent, lilting feel to it... strange, that! There were probaly some incidents that werent neccessary to mention, and she was raped so often, that it made rape seem tolerable. But now I cant bring my self to read anything but this author! God help me. The one part that touched me was when Carrie gave up hope. She had been so young and impressionable while living in the attic, that there seemed no way for her to ever believe in herself again. She really did believe she was the Devil's Spawn. Poor darling...

Summary: A spitfire of revenge and hate...
Review: Petals on the wind...a revenge packed rampage to the bitter end. A very well put together book that carries the "Dresden Dolls" into their adulthood years and Cathys building tower of revenge and hate for her mother and grandmother. I read this book within a matter of 3 days knowing that with each turn of the page I was one page closer to the confrontation and destruction of Foxworth Hall. Even though it was an exceptionally well written masterpiece and still a must read, it's not as good as the first book...but then again nothing ever is.

Summary: The Christmas Climax at Foxworth Hall
Review: I never dreamed V.C. Andrews could write another book as wonderfully eerie as Audrina's disfunctional family, but Cathy in Petals on the Wind is so real! Although she feels a need for such revenge, I loved the Christmas Climax at Foxworth Hall when her mother is confronted and even Bart Winslow sides with Cathy! I feel that Bart was the dark, handsome man Cathy always dreamed of...I didn't like her marriage to Julian at all...and thought it inappropriate for her to marry her guardian, Paul. In the end, I'm glad it seems that she and Chris and her two sons, Jory and Bart will lead a normal life of happiness. I felt Cathy's revenge on the invalid grandmother was a bit gruesome and harsh, but the book is the most exciting one I've ever read... full of unexpected outcomes!

Summary: Petals on the Wind
Review: 'Petals on the Wind' is a wonderful book because it has both fantasy and reality combined, and one cannot stop reading it. I read it when I was only 11, although it is somewhat "adult". I've read it about 5 times since. Every character has depth and is very real... even characters who are evil are easy to forgive. It brings every emotion to you imaginable- fear, anger, love, hate, sadness. You end up wanting to know more about Catherine and the people in her life. The diction brings a magical feel to the book and it can be very haunting. It is my favorite book out of the whole V.C. Andrews series.

Summary: it was good
Review: i found this to be rater good . it was easy to get into and i just didn't want to put it down . this book is just as good as flowers in the atic . i think that v.c.andrews is an awsome writer . i am diapointed that she is not able to continue writing books and that her ideas are being published under her name and yet SHE isn't writing them . oh well the ghost writer is doing a good job but i do not like the mini series . they are horrible !

Summary: An Excellent Sequel (That's how you spell it, right?)
Review: Once again, V.C. Andrews has done it. She picked up right from where we left off in Flowers of the Attic. It is still told from Cathy, the oldest daughter, and it is still written in Andrew's famous style, first person point of view. I'll tell you from now that this book may upset you a little if you are a humanitarian, but get set for an emotional ride....again.
