Rating: Summary: I don't like Cathy Review: Poor Bart has been treated like Cinderfella by Cathy for years. The poor boy has been bumped aside for an adopted stranger named Cindy who is a real spoiled horror and dancing Jory. When Jory loses his ability to dance, it was hoped Cathy would place value on humanity and character and not dancing. She is a shallow fool.Cindy is a provocative little tart. She seduces guys and reminds one of a dog in season. I'm glad Bart broke her lover's face when he caught them in the act. Cindy was stupid for not being discreet. With all her money and "wiles," she could have conned her lover into taking her to a motel. She is rude, brash and saucy. She is quite the tart. Too bad Cathy never wised up to her. Stupid ending. Chris died like Chris, Sr. and Cathy never really left the attic of her youth. I'm tired of V.C. Andrews' brother and sister pairs becoming lovers. This is for the birds.
Rating: Summary: A stunning continuation of Cathy and Christopher's story Review: Cathy's sons are grown up. Jory and his wife are famous dancers. Bart has inherited his grandmother's millions and the horrifying house that kept Cathy and Christopher hostage as children. As Cathy watches the house being redone, she also sees that Bart is still a troubled young man. He seduces Jory's wife and abuses his younger sister as he struggles with himself to find his own way. Christopher and Cathy have their own stuggles as they must come to terms with themselves and their past. A great conclusion to a stunning story.
Rating: Summary: Good, but haven't we seen this before Review: Seeds of Yesterday is a great book but at times seems just a better written rehash of If There Be Thorns. Cathy and Chris have to move into the newly reconstructed Fowxworth Hall where they have to reside until Bart turns 25. But a tragic accident fells Jory and keeps Cathy and Chris captive there, meanwhile Bart's fragile hold on sanity is jeapordized by yet another old man and he begins tormenting his sister Cindy again. The ending is beautiful though but towards the last chapters it gets hard to read.
Rating: Summary: What is it with you people? Review: Why is it that so many of you want another book in this series? The series ended the way it should have and apparently no one has an imagnation anymore. DO you really want another book, this time written by the GW after he's given us lame, unreadable novels starting with the Logan family series and onward. Stop asking for a another book in the series. SOY was an excellent book that concluded this sad saga and there are no need for anymore.
Rating: Summary: Very good book Review: This book is so good, it is the best one out of the series, I personally think. I, a dry eye person, cried at the last few pages, but happy that she finally found peace. Though it makes you wonder what happened to Toni and Jory and the twins and most of all their unborn child. They should write a book that tells what happened to Toni and Jory. I tell you one thing though, Joel did everything, the wet sand, the pranks, the clipper ship, the invitations, all to see Bart go crazy and so that he would get the money, he did it all.
Rating: Summary: "We're always here for you..." *GAG* Review: Seeds of Yesterday...glad I finished it yesterday! This book, I believe, was a last ditch effort to make money off of a book as highly successful as Flowers in the Attic...yet I wouldn't of missed reading it, if that makes any sense! I do admit though that it was a step ahead of the previous book, If There Be Thorns...but just a step. Throughout this entire book the main character dribbles on and on about how she cares for her family...blah blah blah! I swear she told her family the same thing on every other page. It got old really fast. I do admit, however, that in the last chapter when the highway crash took the life of a loved one and when the main character finally finds peace amongst the "flowers in the attic"...I actually cried. It was very moving...the best part of the entire book.
Rating: Summary: Best Series I have ever read--still Review: I stared reading this series in JHS..a looong time ago :-). But up till now it is still so fresh in my mind..it's like I read it just the other day. I remeber going to the library week after week to pick up the next installment..I refused to read it all at once to ruin to buildup. The first books was great..a classic. It was chilling and so sad..and unbelieveable. I could not believe that people could be so cruel. Of coure being 12..Iwas shocked at Chris and Cathy budding "relationship"..I mean whoa. But it drew me in and after a while as the series went one...it was just natural to me. It upset me that they could not be together. They were so miserable. In "Petals in the Wind"..Cathy tried so hard to fight her past and her feeling for Chris it nearly broke my heart. I think "If There be Thorns" was the most dark. Bart was a great character and "Graandmother" ...she scared me. But by far..my favorite in the series has to be This one. It was just so heartbreaking. This was the FIRST and LAST time that I ever cried while reading a book. I mean at the end when I read that letter..I was not half way through it before my eyes started watering and tears rained down on the pages of the book. I literally fell apart. I twas so heartbreaking. Ohh. I'm tearing up now. To me it was a perfect ending. Just perfect. It all came full circle. I found it so eerie and fitting that Chris died in a similar fashion as his father. Wow. That is all I can say. Great stuff. I'm almost tempted to read this series again.
Rating: Summary: You can't put this book down!! Review: This book is great! It was so hard to put it down. Every free second I had I was reading this book! I don't read alot but this whole series is great. It will keep you reading.
Rating: Summary: A dark, emotional conclusion to a parallizing saga Review: This novel is truly one of the best ever written, it has the same quiet eeriness that the others possessed, the same deep heartwrenching character development, and the same beautiful prose. this novel dares to take the feelings and emotions of characters already filled with dark memories of suffering and betrayel and put them to the ultimate test. this time they are the elders, they are the ones with the control, and they have to save their family from a curse which has plagued their family for years. this novel demonstrates how innocence can be retained through so much suffering, how love conquers all and how in the end the calamities of life make you strong enough to bare the damnation of the future. this novel was the ultimate conclusion to an amazing series and when it was over i cried, i cried for cathy, chris, the twins, and for the little dresden dolls locked away. cathy`s letter was so heartfelt and perfect for an ending, and it does seem so fitting that she should end up where it all began. the way she put flowers on the walls, is so melancholy, so perfect, and the ending may be sad, but it couldn`t be better, and atleast the dollanganger saga is over and ``i`m up now where the purple grass grows!``
Rating: Summary: GOOD CONCLUSION Review: I read this book in February and cried at the end. I was a little sad that I was through with the Dollanganger series. I was so used to it, that I didn't want to see Cathy and Chris gone forever. Anyway, it had a good ending. All of Cathy and Chris' children had made up and were happy. I realized that the ending took place at the beginning of the 2000's. I calculated all the years V.C. Andrews had given us in the past books. I wonder what would have been going on right now in Seeds of Yesterday, if it was real. Mmm, makes you wonder....
