I read this entire series as a young teenager. At the time I found them thrilling but disturbing. I still find them so. I've never read anything else V.C. Andrews has done -- I never felt the urge. But with this series, something about it captivated me and I ended up reading them all. I suppose they're marketed for the teenage crowd, but I wouldn't consider them appropriate for an impressionable age group (incest aside, there are are other equally disturbing issues in these books). But for older teens or adults who enjoy very strange and darker type stories, this is for you.

It was a GREAT, GREAT book. I think everyone should read the Dollanganger Family story.

A classic tale that picks up where 'Flowers in the Attic' left off. Stimulating. A great read even if you've read it before, as I have.

Book 2 in the original trashy incest series churned out by the V C Andrews corporation. Fabulous guilty pleasure.

one of the better books in the series. continues from right where 'flowers in the attic' left off and chronicles the dollanger children's journey to find love, family, and normalcy after the scarring events in the attic. often sad and depressing, but fascinating to see the effects that their screwed-up childhood has had on them, particularly in cathy's neverending attempts at looking for love in all the wrong places and never finding it until its too late.
