And Kitchen Family? Really? Neiderman already created the Patio Family, and now the Kitchen Family. Unfortunately, this is not much different than other books he has written, whether under his own name or V.C. Due to the popularity of the original book, Hollywood soon took notice. Unfortunately, the story is bogged down with predictability, bad cliches, and an abuse of metaphors to describe this or that, making for a story that kept me turning the pages just so I could get to the end and finish this book! (I do hate to leave books unfinished however bad they may be) The prequel novel, Garden of Shadows, was unfinished before her death, resulting in a ghostwriter (Andrew Neiderman) being hired to finish writing it, as well as writing each and every new V.C. The story itself had tons of potential, and under the pen of a skilled author, such a story would be utterly compelling and unforgettable, or if this story was a movie or an episode of CSI or Law and Order or something like that, that would totally rock. Andrews name was bad, I was subjected to more - and worse - here. That blockbuster novel began the renowned Dollanganger family saga, which includes Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, and Garden of Shadows. Andrews has been a bestselling phenomenon since the publication of the spellbinding classic Flowers in the Attic. If I thought Andrew Neiderman's writing under the V.C. One of the most popular authors of all time, V.C. The synopsis for this book actually sounded good so when I was offered the chance to read it for free, I thought, why not?īoy howdy, that was a decision I would sorely come to regret.
