I can't help but be mega excited for the remake of this book/movie starring Heather Graham airing on LMN tomorrow night... The original movie really sucked, imo.
Yes, I used to be addicted to V.C. Andrews, though I never finished the Dollanganger series, I read most of the others in highschool.. Even though the set up and dynamics of each storyline are the same.. A girl loses a parent/finds out her parents -aren't- her parents, gets sent to live with rich people, more drama and dark secrets unfold, seemingly there's a happy ending, but then more stuff happens throughout the next book or 2 and the Damsel in Distress winds up with a baby, then the last book from the main story arc is from the kid's POV set several years later then one last book set years before the main story from someone else's POV that was in the main character's life..
Yep, the ghostwriters penning the V.C. Andrews books lost their creativity quickly.. The rest of the Heaven books (Casteel family series) were -ok- (I believe Andrews passed away after writing the first book, maybe the 2nd)...
The Orphans and Shooting Stars collections took a break from the way the other stories had been set up, but the storylines themselves weren't all that original.. There's 1 book for each girl (4 books total) and then a final book that includes all 4 girls and is the conclusion of the overall story.
I know there's still books coming out, but I haven't read any of the more recent stuff...
But anywhooooo yeah.. Flowers in the Attic will air tomorrow night on Lifetime Movie Network at 8/7CST (I think).. Eeeeee!! lol
