i used to read them.......in junior high.....and they are racy books at times.... there was one series about a girl who grew up in the appalachians that i enjoyed.....i liked the flowers in the attic series, but it was a little too weird when she started having sex with her brother....
Yea, that was weird. Anway-- VC Andrews was a very creative writer. That's why I enjoy her books so much.
I used to read them but I got TOO caught up in them and reading all the series... they're very twisted...lots of insest/rape and unwanted pregnancies and stuff like that. Good, but twisted. She died a while ago, right? And now her daughter writes under her name?
yes...i do believe that her daughter writes under her name.... i agree that the plots were quite twisted....i've looked back through some of the books and i still can't believe my mom allowed me to read some of them when i was so young.....
a guy continues her legacy of stories she started of plots she developed but never started. I don't believe she ever had any children or even married. it was a great loss when she passed on. i loved My sweet Audrina and the Ruby series.
they're not her plots either. Her only books were the dollanganger series, half of the casteel series (even though she did finish the story line...If you read it well, you'll notice they fuck up the names of everyone....like Walter Drake became Drake Ormand or some shit like that in Gates of paradise) And My sweet Audrina was also an original. Everything else has mostly been written by that perv dude who wrote The Devil's advocate. And where we you biatches when MY v.c. Andrews thread was up? Huh, huh?
well....someone should write a story about the real vc andrews....i had no idea it was a guy who wrote them now....i think all the ones i read were actually written by her.....i stopped reading them when i hit high school age.....
well i did post when the original thread was started moonshyne. and i was just taking from what i read at this site http://www.completevca.com/art_grip.htm and another about continuing stories she had started. either way she was very gifted. and if they're not her stories he's continuing then they should just stop becuase he is truly muddying up her name and her talent.
I think there was maybe one other series that she made the story line for and someone else completed. but basically everything except the very first books have been written by that dude. It sucks because he seems to just recycle her first books, (like heaven, FITA, and Audrina) change a few names, locations and so on, and ta-da! you have the same damn book written in 30 different ways. I like the melody series even though it wasn't an original, but it still had a sort of almost copy/paste feel to it.
I read flowers in the attic when i was 15, and at the grand age of 29 i'm reading its sequal, and i'm finding it so entertaining. 2 questions for people 1) what where her family thinking getting someone else to write under her name, i'd love to have a book written, but to get someone else to continue after i died, well its just money really isn't it??? 2) does anyone else think they shouldn't be classed as horror, yes they're desturbing but i don't think they should be under a horror heading S
I'm just finishing petals on the wind and have brought a few more from thrift stores I am finding them very entertaining and intend to read at least the first series, but i have a feeling they may end up 'all the same' S
Okay,I love VCA for one reason-- You can get the books for oh so cheap....at goodwill or the supermarket AND If you pick up in the middle of a series,usually they provide enough background information to catch up quick. Good,cheap, quality, incestual entertainment!
do you think they get all the same after a while and which series by the new v Andrews do you think is best? S
I read "Music In The Night" because someone dumped a bunch of books off at our house and my mom threw it in her "not interested" pile, so I went through them and quickly snatched that one up. I read it all in one sitting. It's a great book, and it's not as disturbing as I thought it would be. I really wish our library carried her books, but I figure they are too risque for our "highly esteemed Southern libraries to carry." Psssh.
i think I have read every single one of her books when i was younger. The sex scenes drove me off the wall hahahaha The ruby series was my all time favorite. Alth0ough as i read on i foudn that a lot of the plot became repetative. Girl meets boy, girl and boy become involved, girl finds secret, boy is brother but does not know it, sex scene, Raf gets hot and reads till the night's end.
