Praise for Viginia Andrews:
‘Beautifully written, macabre and thoroughly nasty… it is evocative of the nasty fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and The Babes in the Wood, with a bit of Victorian Gothic thrown in. … What does shine through is her ability to see the world through a child’s eyes’ Daily Express
‘Makes horror irresistible’ Glasgow Sunday Mail
‘A gruesome saga… the storyline is compelling, many millions have no wish to put this down’ Ms London
‘There is strength in her books – the bizarre plots matched with the pathos of the entrapped’ The Times

Format:Paperback
A fantastic finale to the "flowers in the attic" series. The most upsetting of the four books and the one that really stays with you. The one bad point is that "petals on the wind" and "if there be thorns" are not as good and have to be read to really to enjoy this final book. Nevertheless, if you enjoyed Flowers in the attic and long to know what happens after then the saga is thrilling and exciting. But prepare for a major change in the attitude of the children as they grow up.

Format:Paperback
Having read the previous three books i much anticipated this last book in the series, and it didnt fail to dissapoint! At various stages of the book, i felt an enormous range of emotions eg, anxious (for Bart to get rid of Joel), sad (when Jory became disabled and Melodie leaves him), and happiness (at the birth of Jory and Melodie's twins). Its a must read, and gives an insight into how the characters' personalities have changed, or not changed, over time.

Like most of Virginia Andrews books, seeds of tomorrow is sometimes predictable. However, I couldn't put it down! She had a talent for making most stories unmissable.This one is no different.

Great Series
A friend lent to me the first 3 books in series - I was hooked & was so pleased to find the 4th & 5th books lived up to the others. Could not put them down.

This book is where Andrews's books (or the books written under her name) start to become a parody of themselves. Read more
