slemslempikeWhat better way for the Guardian children's book section to celebrate valentine's day than with a review of Flowers in the Attic?
"When I read the book I experienced many different emotions: at times I was laughing, conversely at other times I was angered or sad."
"I guess one negative aspect of the book is that the plot seems to be quite unrealistic"
"it is an excellent book for many people: romance-lovers [...]"
I do wish I'd read Flowers in the Attic when I was a teenager, I feel I would have appreciated it much more than as an adult.
