at the time I heard so much about the VC Andrews Dollanganger saga, I decided to start reading it. Now, I do not know if I have wanted to continue. The first issue is the well known Flowers in the attic, where there nonsense. Let me explain: it is quite badly written and not me the excuse that the protagonists are children. The narrator is Cathy, who is twelve years old when his father dies. Corrine, her mother and a kettle of very careful adored by her four children and her husband, is a useless sees no other way to ruin the return to the mansion of their very rich parents. His father is very ill and dying, but she was disinherited for doing something very bad in the eyes of their parents: half-brother to marry his father, ie his uncle. Corrine only inherit if the father not aware of who had children with her husband, children, "the devil" so that she and the grandmother locked in a room that opens onto a roof so that nobody knows of its existence. What would be a few weeks of confinement resulting in more than three years, during which one child dies while the mother lives in a world of luxury that seems to have blinded and have made her forget her own children.
quite rarefied atmosphere in a story develops in which, at the end, you have to agree with the crazy grandma. This, obsessed with religion and sin, prohibits brothers (Christopher, Cathy and twins Carrie and Cory) that see naked or sleep together being of opposite sex. And their fears are not unfounded because Christopher falls for his sister Cathy. Incest fairly permeates the novel and becomes a little too morbid. This continues into the next novel in the series, petals to the wind, I stopped because I was starting to creepy character Cathy.
The film was made at the time does not reflect at all what the incest and it mixes this novel to the next. A mess, come on.
