About the Author
One of the most popular authors of all time, V.C. Andrews has been a bestselling phenomenon since the publication of her spellbinding classic Flowers in the Attic. That blockbuster novel began her renowned Dollanganger family saga, which includes Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, and Garden of Shadows. Since then, readers have been captivated by more than fifty novels in V.C. Andrews' bestselling series. The new Delia series begins with Delia's Crossing and will continue in Delia's Heart. V.C. Andrews' novels have sold more than one hundred million copies and have been translated into sixteen foreign languages.

Stopped half way thru
I read alot of VCA books when I was a young adult. I loved the Flowers in the Attic series. This one I couldn't finish. It never got to the point. It dragged on and on and on about the puberty issue. Geez....then when the brother touched the sister, I had enough. Sorry I can't agree with the fantastic reviews of some of the other viewers, but this book just didn't cut the mustard!!!

Ewww
I've been a fan of V.C. Andrews' through everything-including her death! However, this book finally pushed me to the limit. As a fan of V.C. I'm clearly a fan of the grotesque and macabre, but this exploration of a seven-year-old's sexuality went too far. My stomach was churning the whole time. Yes, I understand that this is a real phenomenon-early puberty-but something as disturbing as someone who not too long ago was wearing diapers menstruating is a medical issue, not one that should be put in gothic hack fiction as "sexy". Psychologically a child of seven could never handle such an event and I found the addition of a character who wanted to "introduce" the child to her "new feelings" so upsetting I decided to give up the ghost, literally (the ghostwriter) for good. He went over the edge, and not in a good way. I felt molested reading this book, and I have a baby girl, and I certainly wouldn't ever want her to read it. I recycled it.

Visiting the new Andrews "Early Spring Series"
Having read the "Flowers in The Attic" and "Heaven" Series quite some time ago, I decided to visit the new Andrews series to see how the "ghost writer" fares up to the original.
Overall I found Broken Flowers to be an enjoyable easy read, but it just did not seem to create the kind of atmosphere found in the afore mentioned series.
This new saga follows the March family, and specifically, Jordan whose early onset on puberty throws the family into a minor turmoil. On top of coping with her bodily changes, Jordan's family is beginning to crumble, turning her world upside down.
Interestingly, the book description on the back cover, is only partly correct, some of it completely false.
Having said that, the book was enjoyable enough to want to read the sequel.

Addendum 16/7/07: Having now just finished "the wildflowers" miniseries, I found many of the themes particularly that of "precocious puberty" to be a tad recycled.
