Review
'Beautifully written, macabre and thoroughly nasty!it is evocative of the nasty fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and The Babes in the Wood, with a bit of Victorian Gothic thrown in. ! What does shine through is her ability to see the world through a child's eyes' Daily Express 'Makes horror irresistible' Glasgow Sunday Mail 'A gruesome saga!the storyline is compelling, many millions have no wish to put this down' Ms London 'There is strength in her books -- the bizarre plots matched with the pathos of the entrapped' The Times

Customer Reviews

An excellent book
I think this an absolutely wonderful book, I must admitt the beginning was a bit slow but it was good all the same.
If you are a fan of the Dollanganger saga then this is the book to read.

brilliant sequel
this is an excellent sequel to flowers in the attic! although many deaths and tragedy, it sweeps you off your feet, and you become cathy. EXCELLENT!!

Excellent book, but slightly depressing...
I absolutely loved both this & Flowers in the Attic & would highly recommend them. Unlike so many authors that have failed to produce a decent sequel, Virginia Andrews has written an extremely gripping book that I couldn't bare to miss one word of. I thought it was a great read, but if you prefer happy stories then this isn't for you as there are a lot of tragic deaths & it's quite emotional. An especially brilliant read for teenagers.
