Petals on the Wind (Dollanganger, Bk 2)

This book was disappointing in some aspects. I enjoyed Flowers in the Attic for its gleefully tawdry nature. Petals on the Wind is of course more of the same, but I found the characters to be less sympathetic. I found myself impatient with the various creative ways they found to ruin their own lives. The female characters in particular are so weak willed and happy to tolerate abuse that I felt far more disgust than empathy.
