Fowers in the Attic

Last week I read Fowers in the Attic.When I bought it I didn't know kind of story it is I just bought it because of the nice looking cover.(yes I buy books from looking at the cover)The book was written by Virginia Andrews and it was published in 1987.Supposedly it is based on a true story.

The good
.The story is told very nicely
.The cover was very nice
.I were glad on how the story ended

The bad
.The characters weren't likable I hated almost every character in the book.

Quick summary
The Dollanganger children(Chris 14,Cathy 12,Cory and Carrie 5)receive a terrible lost when their father died.Their mother Corrine couldn't afford to live in the house anymore so she decided to ask her mother if she could move in with her children.The grandmother agrees but she asked Corrinne to hide the children in the attic because her husband cannot know she had children with her husband(why will be explained in the book)Corrine asked the kids to stay quietly in the attic until their grand father passes away and she will inherit his fortune but as time pass by....................

The conclusion
When I finished reading Flowers in the Attic I seriously hated almost every characters in the book.Yes Chris and Cathy too.I couldn't entirely blame on what Chris and Cathy did to them since they were locked in the attic without knowing any better(maybe Chris did)but I still hated them for not doing anything but to me the story was nicely told.Sad and depressing but nicely told.I'm not saying that I'm recommending this book to everyone but to anyone who wants something a bit different they're welcome to try Flowers in the Attic.
