Paper flowers

My favorite book in the world is Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews, and I want to base my next tattoo on it. If you haven't read the book: a mother locks her four children in a single bedroom in her wealthy parents' mansion, in order to hide their existence from her dying father so that she can inherit his fortune. The children have the attic as

i'm just posting so i can use my icon! look....it's from "one flew over the cuckoo's nest" but it's louise fletcher, who played olivia in the screen adaptation. (which sucks anyway).

i grew up on v.c. andrews books....loved the heaven series more than flowers though. i quit reading them after she died and the publishing co. started putting out books based on her manuscripts and crap.

going to look for tattoo ideas now that i have that out of my system.

I grew up reading them, too. They were so interesting and twisted!

OMG! That's Olivia, right? I just saw that movie a few weeks ago and didn't notice, but now I totally can! Wow.

The Casteel series is probably my favorite series as a whole, but FITA will forever be my favorite book. It's been about 13 years since I first read it, and I must have read it at least 25 times by now.

Have you read the Cutler and Landry series? They're the first that the ghostwriter did, but they're both very good. It's the ones that followed that turned to shit. :\

Thanks for looking!

i remember those names...cutler and landry...but i don't think i read the entire series. maybe i'll try them again.

i first read them when i was in junior high...probably 87 or 88. i remember being so pissed when i heard that she'd died. it's funny because i'm sure my mother would have never agreed to buy those books if she had read them first. lol.

i always enjoyed My Sweet Audrina....soooo soooo twisted yet all wrapped up in one little book. about 10 years ago, my landlady was moving out of our two family house and she had a bunch of junk out by the road. she told us to go get what we wanted...i found a bag of every VC Andrews books in that stash and laughed thinking of this little old lady reading them!

louise fletcher always plays the bitch in movies...did you like the movie?

The FITA movie? Oh god no. They absolutely butchered the book. The only good things about the movie were that creepy music box song, and the actor who played Chris. HOT.

Haha, same here. 7th grade was my V.C. Andrews year. I read the Heaven series first and liked it more. The first few that were written by someone else were pretty okay, but then it was just blah, nothing new and inventive, just the same over and over again.
