No redeeming qualities,

This review is from: Flowers In The Attic (Mass Market Paperback)
Let's see, what do we have? Completely flat zero-dimensional characters, subtle misogyny in the sexual stereotypes, stilted and formulaic suspense-building plot devices, child abuse, rape, and glorified incest. Why am I supposed to enjoy this book?

Origional and Entertaining,
By Alexa (Delaware) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flowers In The Attic (Mass Market Paperback)
There isnt a book out there quite like this one! Flowers in the Attic is a dark, horrifying and mysterious book about four children locked away in a secret room while the await their mother's re-inheritance. These are normal children growing up in highly unusual and horrible circumstances. Although quite a bizzare novel, it deals with many real life conflicts and feelings such as love, incest,jealousy, and especially greed. The mystery of this book will keep you turning pages all night long; when you finish you'll be dying for more, so dont forget to check out the sequals!

An evil book,
By dt3 (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flowers In The Attic (Mass Market Paperback)
As a young man, I always thought Virginia Andrews' writing was for women. I read it on a recommendation from an avid reader I trust, and I'm sorry I did.No, I couldn't stop reading it. And no, I didn't enjoy it. I'm in my late twenties now, and wanted to call my mother and make her promise she'd never have done that to me (it was 3.30am). It disturbed me so deeply and seemed to be about an evil so much more horrible than the serial killers, mad dictators and supernatural beasts that fiction is filled with nowadays. I loved it while I was reading it only because I was anticipating the delicious revenge I knew they must visit on the mother and grandmother. But without spoiling the ending, suffice it to say that there is no satisfaction by the end of the book if you're spending the whole time waiting for the mother to get her just desserts. It was made worse by the boy, Chris, and his refusal to stand up to either woman in his blind faith that their mother was on their side. I hoped because of that that his revenge would be sudden and murderous. I closed the book after reading it very unhappy and disturbed, no matter how much they decided to let the past go and get on with their own lives, and I'm too frightened to read the sequel and go through it all again in case they don't find their mother and mutilate or torture her to death like I wanted to.
