Product Description

Chris and Cathy made such a loving home for fourteen-year-old Jory -- so handsome, so gentle. And for Bart,who had such a dazzling imagination for a nine year old.

Then the lights came on in the house next door. Soon the Old Lady in Black was there, watching them, guarded by her strange old butler. Soon she had Bart over for cookies and ice cream and asked him to call her "Grandmother".

And soon Bart's transformation began...

Fed by the hint of terrible things about his mother and father...leading him into shocking acts of violence.

Now while this little boy trembles on the edge of madness, his anguished parents await the climax to a horror that flowered in an attic long ago, a horror whose thorns are still wet with blood, still tipped with fire.

First Sentence
Whenever Dad didn't drive me home from school, a yellow school bus would let me off at an isolated spot where I would recover my bike from the nearest ravine, hidden there each morning before I stepped onto the bus. Lire la premi�re page

5.0�toiles sur 5 One of the best in the series, Jui 28 2004

Par	Robin M Goffinet (Richmond, IN United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: If There Be Thorns (Mass Market Paperback)

This sequal is a little different from the rest as it is told from the perspective of Cathy's kids Bart and Jory.

Bart is a troubled little boy who seems to get his jollies from torture and disrespect. Jory is the complete opposite. When the mysterious "Woman in Black" moves in next door, things get really interesting. Bart discovers that the man that has been his father all thru his childhood is not really his father, but his uncle and his mother's incestial relationship with him.

The woman next door turns out to be someone you NEVER in a million years expected her to be and the ending displays an almost supernatural sort of love. Read it! You won't be sorry!

5.0�toiles sur 5 the most disturbing book in the series, Avril 28 2004

Par	moongrenadine "moongrenadine" (high point, NC) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: If There Be Thorns (Mass Market Paperback)

if you read flowers in the attic & petals on the wind, you might be ready to prick your finger with if there be thorns. out of all the books in this series, thorns is by far the most disturbing & suspenseful. cathy & chris are married with children & they would seem to be a pretty normal family if you didn't know any better. what seems to be an ideal home is threatened by a mysterious butler & an old lady dressed in only black who live next door. ofcourse, we don't have to be rocket scientists to figure out who the lady in black is or the creepy as sin butler. naturally, one of cathy's boys spend some time(a bit too much if you ask me) around these weirdos & the plot thickens. will jory & bart survive or will they suffer a fate worse than death such as depravity? will cathy & chris bring closure to their problems & the terrible memories of what happened not so long ago? v.c. andrews takes the pen away from our herione cathy this time around & places it in the hands of her sons bart & jory who give their perspectives on growing up & the unspeakable horrors or trangressions which take place in their young lives. once again, andrews enthralls with her woven tale of greed & punishment or tortured souls who seek out love & acceptance in all the wrong places. if you loved the first 2 books, you will absolutely love if their be thorns. if you were bored with the first two, this one has a better pace & really cuts to the chase quickly. the ending is truly touching but does give closure to the relationship of cathy & her mother. i, personally, feel flowers in the attic or if there be thorns are the best books in this series but i think petals on the wind was necessary & does answer our questions of how the children survived once they escaped the dreaded attic in their grnadmother's mansion. seeds of yesterday is also quite good but may be a bit far fetched for some. however, the ending of seeds of yesterday is bittersweet & finally puts an end to all the miseries which manifested in an attic nearly forty some odd years ago. thank you v.c andrews for the flowers. i loved--------your books. the writer that was hired to take your place sucks sad to say. :(

3.0�toiles sur 5 not as good as the others in the series, Janv. 17 2004

Par Un client

This review is from: If There Be Thorns (Mass Market Paperback)

I didn't think this book was as good as the others in the series, but it includes a lot of information about Jory and Bart in it that you probably want to know if you plan on reading the fourth book. Jory and Bart alternate telling the story, so it wasn't narrated by Cathy, but if she were to tell it, half of the information just wouldn't be there.
