Flowers in the Attic


Anybody read it?

This is hell. Pure. Unadulterated. Hell.

reply

no, but I definatley want to. Let me know what you think of it. No one I know has read it, and I've read very mixed reviews, so I'm holding back slightly.

btw, I adore your name haha. It's nice to find Twilight fans away from the page...

I love it! I am a HUGE V.C. Andrews fan. I'm more obsessed with... Twilight now though. But I think FitA was a great book. But it's definitely not for everybody. I recommend it, but I'm not going to guarantee that you'll like it. Everybody I've met personally who's read it has despised it, actually. It's one of those things where you'll just have to read it and decide for yourself. Incest is a touchy subject, so if you're terribly bothered by it in literature FitA won't sit well with you. Conclusion: Give it a try with NO expectations.

Yay! Twilight fan! Explain your sig though. Does it mean you're a Snape fan and an Edward fan? Cool!

Twilight definately becomes an obsession!!
Awesome, okay, I'll check it out. As I said, I've heard so many mixed reviews, but I will go read it.
As twisted as this sounds, I don't really care for incest in literature. I just see it as a part of the story! I mean, people can read about murders, and surely thats just as immoral as incest? Hmm, I dunno!

And yeah, I couldn't decide who my favourite character was, so I decided I would incorperate both of them into one single figure!

*sighs* I can't believe the UK get Twilight on the 9th of Jan! So not fair!!

That sucks. Well, I'm not from the UK, so...

You're right. Like sooo many books have murder and rape and stuff and nobody cares but when's there's incest, everybody's like "ewwww!" I don't mind incest either.

it's just so not fair for us poor Brits :( But we did make Robert Pattinson xD

Yeah, that's my arguement for reading this book. I've not started yet, but I defo will soon!

Btw, have you read the Vampire Diaries? Apparently it's better than Twilight! They are very similar apparently, but the writing is much much better! No one I know (in person) has read it, but I'm going to go to the bookstore and get it! If it is better than Twilight, I'm defo looking forward to a new obsession!

No, I haven't read the Vampire Diaries. But It has been recommended to me before. I think after I finish the Twilight series I'll take the initiative to read it.

So, tell me when you read FitA!

Yes, and it's awsome.

Well, since you're a Twilight fan (as the first poster that replied noticed), I don't know if you'd like Flowers in the Attic.

It's NOTHING like Twilight. Well, it has something of the flowery prose, but this is a book about incest, rape, child death, poisoning, child abuse.....nothing like Twilight. Twilight is for teenage girls, basically. FITA can be read and enjoyed by everyone.
