|  A Virginia Andrews thread!! Great idea  I also loved her books (actually I still do) I have to admit the Casteel Series was my favourite. With the obvious reason being Troy of course  | |||

| My favorite series is the Dollanganger series. I also really enjoyed My Sweet Audrina. I thought Flowers in the Attic the movie was awful though. __________________  Jim & Pam avatar by backseat icons | |||

| Oh my....it's been a long time since I have read a book by V.C. Andrews. My mom read the books all the time. I think the only series I read was the Cutler Series. And I remember really enjoying them. | |||

| Well I stopped reading her after she died. And yes I know that sounds funny!  The Dawn series was her daughter and then they sold the name to some guy who writes them now. But the earlier books were good __________________ Procrastinate now don't put it off! | |||

 I still re-read the Casteel and Dollanganger books sometimes, but I don't really like any of the series the ghostwriter wrote completely on his own. I was going to go to the same writing school he went to, until I found out he went there. | |||

Yeah I'd think twice too.His books lacked the depth that Virginia Andrews always seemed to give them. I found with V.C Andrews the characters were either good or evil you know? They didn't have any shades of grey (I didn't think she had any children either  ) | |||

| Does anyone remember when the GW first started writing he would copy scenes from Virginia's past books? __________________ Jim & Pam avatar by backseat icons | |||

| I loved that book too! But my favourite would be Dark Angel and Flowers in the Attic Oh and Troy! He was drool worthy. How can anyone possibly write a character like that?

| Yeah..I didn't know she had kids! Jess- You gotta check out her books...twisted but GOOD! I think of all of them...I like MSA, Dollanger, Cutler, Casteel and Landry. I think the Logan series and the Runaways were the last ones I read | |||

| I held onto both "Butterfly" and "Ice" because I remember loving them when I read them. I'll probably read them again someday. | |||
