Summary: I CANNOT believe VC Andrews wrote this!
Review: Please tell me it's a lie! This is the most immoral book I've ever read. Cathy is simply sick. She had to have been mentally ill to do the things she did in this book. She went way to far. Sleeping with your MOTHER'S HUSBAND is NOT the way to get revenge. BEATING YOUR GRANDMOTHER despite her earlier cruelty is NOT the way to get revenge. All it took to get revenge was to tell the people who she was, make her sick mama go as broke as a bag lady and maybe Bart Winslow would break up the marriage as the real Corrine was revealed. That was all it took to stir a controversial uproar. And after the last paragraph, I'm too afraid to know what happens in the next book.

Summary: i felt like part of the family!!!
Review: this book in my opinion was just as good as flowers in the attic. i couldnt put it down, i felt like iwas cathy. i just didnt understand why all the men in her life kept on dying. at first when her and her brother got together i thought it of incest. after awhile i forgot about it though, and thought they were meant to be. any author that can do that, is excellent. i cried and laughed with them and all i can say is that i hope in the next book i read about them they live on and never perish. thank you v.c. andrews for creating such wonderful books for us too read, that keep us o n the edge of our seat!

Summary: Great, excellent, everything you expect from V.C Andrews
Review: I admit the plot with Chris wanting Cathy to love him in that way was a little far-fetched. But I loved Cathy and her revenge against her mother. Although seducing Bart Winslow was down right cruel, and then having his kid.. not to mention, she practically killed him. But I think that Corrine Foxworth Winslow deserved it for locking her four kids up in an attic, and then trying to kill all of them, and secceeded on killing Cory, but that's in "Flowers in the Attic", which I also have a review on. But I recommend this book entirely and totally. (That is, for teenagers. The seducing and some of the description is just not for readers under 12.)

Summary: nowhere near a literary masterpiece
Review: I thought this book was pure, without a doubt, trash! The writing is horrible. The plot is all about incest. How can anyone think a sexual relationship between two siblings is beautiful? If you want a literary masterpiece, try a classic...

Summary: boring at times, but good
Review: I couldn't put this book down! It was exciting, although I think it could have been shorter, too much time was wasted on repetition, you have to wait until the very end to hear about Cathy's revenge on her mother.

Summary: Good, but the author ran out of ideas
Review: Normally I would not read a book that is narrated by a fifteen-year-old seductress, but the plot intrigued me, so I gave it a try. I must admit, I did read this book for hours on end, but in those hours I could not help but notice a few faults. The book was so repetitive that I began keeping count of some of the following- how many times Cathy has sex, how many times her lover dies, how many times someone touches her breasts, how many times she damns her mother to hell, how many times she tells Chris not to love her after kissing him, how many times the author uses the phrases "as in a dream...," "as in an unhappy dream...," and "as in a nightmare...",and how many times her eyes "met and locked" with a male character.A sign of bad writing? Maybe so? But I did feel involved enough with the characters so that I would not accuse the author of writing bad literature.I might not go so far as to read another one of her books, though. But I must congratulate her on an original plotline.

Summary: Brought me to tears
Review: I read this book a quite a while ago, but even now the thought of it still moves me. In my opinion, any book that makes a reader ache with empathy is a literary masterpiece.

Summary: The attic was a nightmare that would not leave their minds.
Review: Mother would pay. She would pay for the children's deaths and her ignorance. Cathy would get her mother back for leaving behind her dolls. She would show her-once and for all.

Summary: Revenge is sweet
Review: What a great sequel! The book swept me away so fast that by the time I finished it I looked around, not knowing where I was! Deliciously wonderful. I felt Cathy's anger and wanted to get revenge on her mother just as much as she did. I especially enjoyed the part where she walks downstairs in her mother's green dress, one she wore(not so coincidentally)years ago at the Christmas pary. Great.
