eamhanoj 's review for:
Garden of Shadows
by V.C. Andrews
I kind of changed my mind about the ‘evil’ grandmother in the Flowers in the Attic after reading this prequel. I learned a lot about her and how she became so cold towards a lot of people, especially her grandchildren.
But there was this characteristic of hers I don’t like. She let others decide for her and influence her. You see, she wanted to love the grandchildren but because of a certain John Amos, her cousin (oh how I hate this character), she believed that the children are the devil’s spawn therefore she have to harden her heart to avoid loving the children.
A lot of things were revealed in this book. Who would have thought that the very reason why the Dollanganger children suffered was because of Malcom’s mother leaving him, making him the man he was, very domineering and hateful. He used others for his own gain and he also used his power to have what he wants and he also became mad and obsessed with his mother who never returned.
This series is one of the best series ever. I never had read anything that was so tragic, heart wrenching and mind fucking but also enticing, thrilling and so beautiful at the same time. V.C. Andrew’s way of writing is simple and poetic but still the series kept me on the edge, making me want to learn and want more.
Actually, I don’t know what to do right now. I had put a lot of feelings for this series and now I felt so empty after finishing it. It was like a part of me was torn away. I just love this series so much.
