5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful horrifying series, Jul 21 2006
This review is from: Flowers In The Attic (Mass Market Paperback)
Yes, beautiful. The word does not even capture the hopeful-turned-hopeless longing, the desperation, the disturbing love cycle, the vengeance that V.C. Andrews was able to weave in this old goodie that never gets old.

This is the start of a series that leaves you completely breathless, secretly hoping for the children's welfare, but knowing they won't get an ounce of it.

A perfect read on a thunderstruck night.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Extraordinary Novel, Jul 18 2004
By I ain't no porn writer (author, "Crippled Dreams") - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flowers In The Attic (Mass Market Paperback)
I was absolutely mesmerized by this novel and the movie of the same name, and I've never forgotten it, never will. As far as really, really captivatingly weird storylines go, this one has to rank near the very top. This is the story of a brother and sister who were disowned by their very rich and strict parents because of their unnatural love for one another. They have four children together, but then he unexpectedly dies. As a result, she returns home and falls at her parents' feet, begging forgiveness. Her stern father beats her as punishment, which she submits to so that she will appease his wrath and get his love for her back, and get written back into the will. But the existence of her four children must be kept a secret, since her father would never accept them. This shameful incestuous secret is kept locked away up in the attic--that's where the children are kept hidden and out of sight. Their mother visits them and keeps promising that soon they'll be let out of the attic and everything will be just fine. In time, however, her love grows cold and she visits them less and less, selfishly preoccupied with her happy new lavish lifestyle and the new man in her life, while her children start to get sick. Two of them die. Their food is being poisoned. The two eldest surviving children begin to realize that their mother has been slowly, methodically, and calculatingly killing them off! Will they be her final victims, or will they escape Foxworth Hall? This immensely popular novel has sold 40 million copies! It's such an engrossing story!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An ugly story, Jun 28 2004
By Jorge Frid (Mexico City) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Flowers In The Attic (Mass Market Paperback)
I think this is the ugliest story that I ever read although I knew the story of the book before reading it, but just think to put my kids in an attic for more than three years all by them selves just because I will win one trillion dollars is insane (at least for me), but not only that, try to kill all of them is just lunatic.
The way the kids learned to live there changing the attic according to each season of the year is cute but at the same time very sad, indeed all the book is really sad but very well written I can tell you that this book will put you real down just to think what a mother can do to her children just for money, when she went to the attic and tell the kids that she went to Europe I really close the book for a while and think about an insane mother.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deserving of zero stars.
A horrible warped book which rationalizes incest and promotes the idea that love of anyone or anything is okay if you desire it. Don't read this. It's poisonous.
