I love this series. It's rare to read a good book dealing with such a serious and taboo subject. The one book I wan't crazy about was Petals on the Wind. The timeline jumped too fast for me to soak up what was going on. But then again, it's essential for the plot in If There Be Thorns, which was probably my favorite (nothing beats psycho children, right?).
In any case, the series is one of my all time favorites. The end is just so heart-wrenching and bitter-sweet! ( )

The Dollanganger series is the first and best from the V.C. Andrews collections. The first three books, Flowers in the Attic, Petals on the Wind and If There Be Thorns are especially complex as the issues of child captivity, rape and incest play out throughout the series. Flowers in the Attic provides the set-up and the rest of the series explores the emotional aftermath as the three surviving sibilings struggle to cope with the memories of their horrific childhood.
