The book that changed my life. I was 14 when I read this book, and although I've since devoured many novels, this one remains in a special place in my heart, simply because of who I was when I read the book, the time in my life, and the utterly gorgeous, tragic story that V. C. Andrews chose to tel...

Read this as a teenager several times and loved it. I'm not sure I would love it now though, but it had a descriptive, addictive style of writing I think appeals more to young teenage girls.

What a dirty, dirty book. Twilight ain't got nothing on this. It's really so vile, but I don't know many literate American females who didn't read this book in their formative years. Every self respecting middle schooler I knew was sneaking this book under the sheets at night. It was a rite of p...

It's been 30 years since I first read this!! Seems like yesterday, the story is still so clear.This was the first adult novel I read as a teenager and I can't believe that after all this time the story is still with me.

You'll notice the rating has been left empty. This is not an error, but because I honestly have no idea what I thought of the book. For ability to keep me captivated, it deserves a 10 - I could hardly tear myself away from it to go to work. For the way it made me feel, it deserves a 2 or a 3 - it ma...

I went on a V.C. Andrews tear in junior high, and 'Flowers' is disturbing enough for the most discerning adolescent. This is the original V.C. Andrews that you read before the ghost writer took over, and before all the plots became caricatures of themselves.

My wife was reading her way through the whole series, so I thought I'd check out the first one. The most important thing I learned was that different people like different kinds of trash. I was a little surprised that a series this popular would contain quite so much incest, but I guess that's been ...

Over twenty years ago and I still remember this book. This book had a profound affect on me in the sense that I realized, deviant sex and specifically taboo sexual relationship were an arousing trigger for me. As a 13 year old, this was very discerning for me. I was frightened about what this mea...
