Finally outside

Advantages: A horrwing yet compelling read, almost as good as the first book in the series
Disadvantages: Some parts of the story didn't flow well, can be upsetting

This book is the second in the series of 5 books which begins with Flowers in the Attic by Virginia Andrews. It follows on directly where the previous book left off, and it can't be read without having read the first book. There are a lot of references to the events of the first book and it is assumed that the reader already knows not only the events but also the characters.

I will attempt to review this book without giving away the ...
...of those of you who have read neither, however it would be impossible to do so without telling you that the children spent almost four years locked in an attic waiting for their mother to inherit a fortune and three of the four have now escaped.

The story picks up with the three children, Cathy, Chris and Carrie on a bus heading south where they plan to work in a circus to earn their living. They are all three extremely weak due to ... more

Dramatic sequel to Flowers in the Attic

Advantages: Continuing the monumental Flowers in the Attic, Petals on the Wind is a formidable sequel that is definitely worth picking up and reading through the night!
Disadvantages: Cathy's strange ability to ruin everyone who loves her. You may well get annoyed with her!

...to Flowers in the Attic, Petals on the Wind continues Virginia Andrews' excellent handling of Cathy, Chris and Carrie's story. The book spans a longer length of time than Flowers in the Attic and we see big changes in all three children's lives and a great deal of growing up. The story is vivid and addictive. The childhood innocence of Flowers in the Attic has been somewhat lost and the adult lives of the Dollangangers progress with drama, love, ...

Flowers in the attic

Advantages: Very well written - fantastic gripping storyline
Disadvantages: dragged a tiny bit in the middle

months - and continuously the mother lets them down. The emotional rollercoaster that the two eldest children go through is very gripping. Both children are heading into the age where they should be having boyfriends and girlfriends - this mixed in with all the changes in their body makes for a very unusual storyline. *****The Authour***** This book is written by Virginia Andrews - and this is the first of 5 books written about the Dollanger family. The next book is Petals on the wind followed by If There be Thorns and Seeds of Yesterday. There is then a prequel - Garden of Shadows which Virginia Andrews never got to finish. The Authour died in 1986 before she finished her final two books - Garden of Shadows and Fallen Hearts - these were almost complete and were published after her death. ****My Opinion**** This book is ...

Review of Flowers in the Attic - Virginia Andrews

A Satisfying End to a Brilliant Series

Advantages: Brings the series to a satisfying conclusion
Disadvantages: You do need to read the other books first!

Seeds of Yesterday is the final instalment in the Dollenganger Saga – a series of 4 books by Virginia Andrews following the lives of the Dollenganger children. The saga started with Flowers in the Attic then moved on through Petals on the Wind and If There be Thorns. There is also a prequel to Flowers in the Attic – Garden of Shadows – but these are the 4 books telling the story of the children. I have recently read the preceding 3 books and enjoyed them all, although If There be Thorns was not quite as good as the first 2. So it was with some anticipation that I sat down to read Seeds of Yesterday, which I hoped would lay to rest the story of these tragic children. And I was not disappointed. It is slightly difficult to write about the last book in a series without giving too much away for those who haven’t ...
