 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.

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 __________________

  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?

I don't remember exact scenes but I remember the scenarios

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? He was perfect  __________________

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.
