One of my favorite books, performed wonderfully

I really enjoyed Mena Suvari’s performance of this book. I truly hope they will have her read the other books in the series!

good but intense

very well written and performed. The story is very intense. filled with abuse and a little bit of incest. pulls at heart strings. Good ending.

Yes!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I did what someone else suggested and skipped the forward and went straight to the story!! It was so good I finished it in one day and was sorry to have finished it. It really had me gasping, I was sort of familiar through the movie but never read the whole story. Excellently narrated, this was a great experience!

Great but also not best

Look it’s a good story told very well. It’s not perfect, but is so good. Worth your time, worth the free credit. Idk about doing more, but this is a satisfying stop.

Great tough complicated story

A coming of age story with challenges as grand as the house the kids live in. Twists and turns and gut wrenching punches

I love this book

I read this book as a child. I have read it a million times. great 📚

Fabulous narration!

As said in title, excellent narration! I may go see what else she’s read. Enjoy!

Fantastic Narration! I want the second book done soon

I’ve read all books in this series, although the last few books were confusing, the narration is perfect!

Messed up story, total surprise

This book was recommended to me and I knew very little going into it but holy moly it was a big surprise and very grim!

Love the story, the narrator not so much

I'm a fan of V. C. Andrews and this isn't my first time enjoying this book. The narrator made the audiable experience painful. When she is just narrating her voice is calming and good, but her taking on the characters was ear piercing. Her voice would go from calm to loud and shocking. Also, her inflection was just not there. When she would finish what a character was saying, you didn't know she finished. It was like having someone stop in the middle of a sentence. I suggest the book, but not the narrator.
