I listened to the audio version and the narration is really good. The story is may be long, but the lengthy chapters almost heightens the mood and frustration of the length of their imprisonment. Overall, very disturbing story, and maybe a 5-star book and just not my thing as I don't typically read drama, although this could be potentially considered a horror.

Still good the second time! The best V.C. Andrews book!

I don’t know how to rate this book? Something made me pick it up and start reading it again the other day.

I first read this book back in the 90s when I was barely a teenager. My mum gave it to me to read. It was creepy then but it’s even creepier now.

It’s the first book that’s really held my attention all year. I’m in iso, the dolls were in iso.
