Narration To Books Flowers in the Attic/Petals on the Wind (Dollanganger #1-2)
Just finished "Flowers in the Attic." The best I can describe this book is like a watching a car crash. You know you shouldn't watch, but you can't tear your eyes away. This book is vivid, descriptive, wrong, innocent, at times evil, but most of all it's dark. It's a dark mystery that sucks you in and doesn't let go. The incestuous relationship is troubling, and I have to ignore those parts because for me, I feel like it's just wrong. But in the characters' eyes, they're all right. It's love and you can't help who you fall for, even if it's your own flesh and blood. This book takes the phrase "keeping it all in the family" quite literally.Rating Containing Books Flowers in the Attic/Petals on the Wind (Dollanganger #1-2)

this series really depresses me, the tone of it simply sucks all the joy from my mind. I finish reading a chapter and I feel like ive been holding my breath -- not ina good way. +1 for emotional connectivitytoo dark for me though.I am reading these two for the second time, and I'm not as freaked out as I was the first time I read it. I found it a little unrealistic that they stayed trapped in the attic forever, but then I also thought that if I were one of them I would be too terrified of the grandmother. I don't hate their evil grandmother as much as I hate their mother, who was a bitch. It's like, slowly she stops caring about her children, and she thinks that they're fine living in the same room for three fricking
Okay. Stumbled upon the Lifetime movie version of Flowers in the Attic a few weeks ago, and found myself thinking - that didn't happen in the book, did it? Looked it up online only to find the Lifetime movie was pretty true to the story, then I noticed most copies of the book as pictured online looked a lot thicker than what I remembered the book I read looking like. Anyway - I think I got a condensed version the first time around. And only now that I've read the full version, I get why it was

REVIEW TO COME TOMORROW, PROMISE!
FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC: To be honest, I'm not sure why this book gets such a bad reputation. And my cynical side can't help wondering if even half of the people dissing this could write a debut novel HALF as good. Though to be fair, this wasn't ACTUALLY V.C. Andrews' first novel, it was just the first she published under her own name and no one knows what her old penname was because she didn't want her family to read those books for some unknown reason to do with "the content".Also, I kind of hate
Actual rating: 2,5So boring and painful it was traumatizing. DNF.The first book, "Flowers in the Attic", was everything I hoped it would be; creepy, addictive and more than a little disturbing. The sequel, however, went over to the wrong side of Crazy-Town.It was so painfully depressing that I would put the book down for WEEKS until I had recovered enough to continue. I would then open the book and start reading only to find myself, a couple of pages later, just staring at the page without
