Yes, I know its far from literature, but there something compelling about it (despite the incest motif). If anyone hasn't read it yet - don't go for the latest ones (coz they're shitty) but something like Flowers in the Attic and My Sweet Audrina.

Sorry guys, its more of a chick's book. Although it would be interesting to see what guys have read it.

I haven't read any of them, but you are right on the incest motif. My sister has read a few of them, and virtually every one (I asked. ) has incest in some way.

i read flowers in the attic...it was really good

 

[mercury-chic]

I've read a few of her books. They're quite addictive. All of her books have similar storylines but they're still grrreat. Makes you sad too lol. Yeh the old ones are better than the latest ones.

 

[ameh]

most of the newer ones, the books written after flowers in the attic weren't written by her.

omg.. talk abt her... i ahve practicialli read every single book of hers...

i started reading her when i was lyk in yr 8.... and was v moved by *flowers in the attic* and watched the movie several times... and read nearli every book of hers i could get my hands on.....

then i re read a couple of them in yr 11.. and realised how twisted and sick she is..... her writing is rather formulaic...... it's alsmost the written parrallel of the bold and the beautiful.... with brook logan being the main character who everyone wants to sleep with....

before i realli liked her.. and thought to myself.. *woah this woman can realli write*.. now looking bk... she is so twisted and retarded and there is somehting v down right trashy abt her writings... do apologise if this offends u for that is not my purpose

True. The ones after Flowers in the Attic were written by her family and I think publicist. Something like that. She passed away and they wanted to continue the books in memory of her.

i started reading her when i was lyk in yr 8.... and was v moved by *flowers in the attic* and watched the movie several times... and read nearli every book of hers i could get my hands on.....

I got stuck into them when I was in Yr6. A bit young to be reading her books. Lots of promiscuity. Aern't a few of her books based on true stories?

I agree about the Bold and the Beautiful part. We know its trash but its still very addictive and we have to watch/read it. I guess it easily appeals to our emotions but hey, I still like her old books.

Yeah - they're the new ones by a ghost writer

 

[sweetcherry]

OMG - the V C Andrew books are fucking excellent - the older ones were the best ones... the new ones are alright, but then again her books always make me think

 

[Sarah168]

omg, i saw this thread awhile ago and i never knew who the hell virginia andrews was but today i was sitting in the school library (SUPPOSED to be doing my maths hw) but instead was daydreaming and i saw a whole row of V. Andrews books!! dont have tome to read them though.

umm yeah so thats my exciting story for the day...

 

[astro]

I reckon that their storylines are so similar...however my favourite series would have to be Casteel series

I 'LOVED' that book, wrong on a few levels but you get that. i hink she had polio or something and thats why she took up writing, i could be wrong though. i havent read one in ages. so easy to do a short one over in like a day

i think my school has banned them, or maybe they just havent brought any cause they are 'trash'

 

[truly-in-bliss]

yeah i remembered our english teacher in yr 8 asked us what good books we read over the weekend, and someone said *flowers in the attic, virginia andrews* and the teacher was just lyk *thatz pure trash* ..... harsh....

 

[glitter burns]

The books all seem to revolve around incest.
It's pretty bad.

 

[Sarah168]

"bad" as in immoral? or "bad" as in its trashy? LOL

 

[*girl04*]

The beginning books all under her own name are all written by her and the ones under VC Andrews are written after she died by a ghost writer and her publicist from notes she had made before death
