Christopher and Cathy have made a loving home for their handsome and talented teenager Jory, their imaginative nine-year-old Bart, and a sweet baby daughter. Then an elderly woman and her strange butler move in next door. The Old Woman in Black watches from her window, lures lonely Bart inside with cookies and ice cream, and asks him to call her “grandmother.” Slowly Bart transforms, each visit pushing him closer to the edge of madness and violence, while his anguished parents can only watch. For Cathy and Chris, the horrors of the past have come home…and everything they love may soon be torn from them.Rating Epithetical Books If There Be Thorns (Dollanganger #3)

3.5 starsIf we could survive the worst, doesnt it stand to reason we should be able to bear the best? Of course there's tragedy with this series, but there's also something bizarrely beautiful. It's a mesmerizing series, not perfect but hard to get out of once you dig in. It would be a shame to just read Flowers In The Attic and not continue the series - even if the original was the best, the sequels feed into each other, making the story richer.I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars.Book Review 3+ of 5 stars to If There Be Thorns, the third book in the "Dollanganger" series written in 1981 by V.C. Andrews. After the first two books, I didn't think you could keep the thrills and suspense going in this series, mostly because one family can only endure so much torture over the years. Surprisingly, I actually found I liked a large part of this book; however, it was a bit excessive and drawn out at times. The story, told from the perspective of Cathy and Chris' kids,
I enjoyed this book and its craziness. I think this has been my favorite in the series so far. I like that the narration shifted to the two sons because I found Cathy's perspective pretty annoying in the last book. I found Bart hilarious. I love that he's a total psychopath and no ones seems very concerned. He may or may not have killed multiple animals because they didn't love him enough, he constantly stabs at people with his knife, he hobbles around like an old man; he is a whole lot of
Dear V.C. Andrews,What possessed you to (view spoiler)[not only kill Apple and Clover but to do it in such horrible ways (hide spoiler)] ?You disgust me.Sincerely,MissBeckaGee
I adored this book more than I had the previous two. It added another layer to everything, reflecting how the "saints" Cather and Chris were viewed from other people. It showed us how everything looks when you're not looking at it through their perspectives, and I know that this book wouldn't have been as good had Catherine continued to tell it ( not just because it wouldn't make sense then either. )It explored the subject of childhood sociopathy, and has an overall darker tone than the previous
Here we go again, picking up seven years later with the two remaining Dresden Dolls and Cathy's spawn. This time around Cathy is not our narrator, thank you Jaysus! Honestly, I cannot stand Cathy, shes just all around terrible and any goodwill or sympathy she gained in Flowers in the Attic was shredded by Petals on the Wind. This story is her sons Jory (I cant with that name) and Barts to tell. Jory (ugh, that name) and Bart (another ugh) are polar opposites. Bart is jealous of Jory and feels
Gripping addition to this controversial series; I really wasn't expecting to hear of the creepy butler again and this book paints a darkly vibrant picture with its vocabulary, characters and imagery.
