 Doesn't do the first one justice. September 11, 2008
Ms. Lisa Woodall (UK)
Flowers in the attic was just incredible, a complete unique idea. Petals in the wind however was in my opinion absolutely awful. Right from the beginning it was dull and carried on all the way through. Cathy has become an awful character, obsessed with revenge and doesn't care who she hurts. She and Chris used to have such a good friendship, although Chris has not changed much, despite Cathys new found bitterness he is still completely besotted with her and has not grown up in his views that they could be together. He is an adult he should be cleverer than that. Andrews seems to have suddenly become obsessed with death, pretty much every character dies and Cathy never seems particularly phased by any of the deaths and gets over it pretty quickly. I had to force myself to get to the end and I am now having to do the same with third of the series. I think Andrews would have achieved much more just leaving their story after the first book, this is the typical thing when an author cannot leave her characters behind and just ruins the magic.
 The Spellbinding Sequel to Flowers in the Attic July 27, 2008

The follow-up to the best seller Flowers in the Attic, the story continues where we last saw Chris, Cathy and Carrie, having now escaped from the confines of the attic at Foxworth Hall. They are lucky enough to meet up with a handsome doctor who takes on legal guardianship of the three, who will help them live up to their dreams.
Cathy has high ambitions of being a Prima Ballerina, and Chris a doctor. Carrie is struggling with the aftermath of the arsenic poisoning and not enough sunlight/fresh air, and therefore has never grown.
Cathy continues with her life story; a diary of mixed emotions as she struggles to deny the sexual and romantic feelings her brother has for her, and the desire to be with Paul, their guardian, who has given them all everything they could have ever asked for and never asked for anything in return. And then there's Julian, a fellow ballet dancer with a moody disposition and a dangerous streak.
Keeping up with her mothers every movement through newspaper and magazine clippings, Cathy swears one day she is going to have revenge for the death of Cory and the lost years spent dwelling in the dank Attic while their mother flitted through society care-free.
The story is very long and involving, and spans many years, and reads somewhat like a soap opera more than the previous book. But it is just as gripping and exciting (if not somewhat slightly depressing at times). If you loved the first book, you will love this sequel.
a great sequal September 11, 2005

AFTER READING FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC I WAS DYING TO GET STUCK INTO PETALS IN THE WIND AND I HAVE TO SAY IN WAS NOT DISAPPOINTING.
IT TAKES UP THE STORY AFTER CATHY, CHRIS AND CARRIE LEAVE FOXWORTH HALL, JUST AS YOU THINK LIFE IS GOING TO GET A WHOLE LOT BETTER FOR THEM (CATHY BECOMES A TOP BALLERINA AND CHRIS BECOMES A DOCTOR) THINGS GET DARK AND NASTY AGAIN.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS 2ND BOOK IN THE COLLECTION AND CANNOT WAIT TO START LET THERE BE THORNS, THIS BOOK IS A LITTLE HEAVY IN PLACES AND HAS LOTS OF DEATHS IN, JUST WHEN YOU GET OVER ONE DEATH THERE IS ANOTHER TO KNOCK YOU DOWN. A GREAT SEQUAL.

an excellent sequel to flowers in the attic... the book continues the story of the children and shows cathys need to be loved and wanted - because she was starved of affection as a child....would recommend the book to any1 who has read flowers in the attic.
