This review : Flowers in the Attic 

Author :Virginia Andrews

   This book was not the kind of book that I would normally have picked up and read, but after being recommended it I thought I would give it a go. I have to say that I'm extremely glad that I did. This extremely readable book tells the story of a happy family who's happiness is torn apart when the father is killed in a car crash. The mother of the family is forced to take her children to live with her parents in her old family home. Unfortunately her father never approved of the marriage and so she is forced to hide the children away in an old airless attic. The mother promises the children that they won't have to stay there long and will soon inherit the old mans fortune. But as time drags on the mother gradually starts to forget about her children locked away in the attic.

   I enjoyed this book very much, it was easy to read and the story flowed along well. The writing was superb and I can't really fault the book at all. There are more books in the series and now I guess I'm going to have to get all of them to continue the story.
