Faema Stephanie (pyratelady) | 5 comments I really expected to hate it. I held off for a while before finally buying it on the kindle... read it and then bought the second one and read it - all on Friday.

I liked how Christopher was portrayed and loved that they are doing a story-line that for years has been the trademark of a good VCA roleplay - CORY didn't die!

Brianna | 22 comments Wow. I don't think I'd like reading Chris's diary, and I don't know how much I like them playing around with the original story. But I may just have to try out this book.

Kubra Anlı (kubra_anli) | 2 comments who is chris's father?ı'm so curious,who is it?in the book cathy was said he was my half brother


message 9: by Dana (new)

Dana (danaelaine) Their father was their mothers fathers half brother, so he was her uncle. He would technically be the children's father and great uncle at the same time. That is why they were in a sense disowned and moved away from the family. His name was also Christopher.

message 16: by Dana (new)

Dana (danaelaine) A good follow up book is Secret Brother... It's more on Cory after he was dropped off at the hospital


message 17: by Duda (new)

Duda Pontual | 3 comments How come he didn't die??? Hooow did he survive??? I'm from Brazil so it's really hard to finds her books


message 18: by Dana (new)

Dana (danaelaine) He was dropped off at the hospital by his mother and her boyfriend but they left so that they wouldn't get in trouble. So another family was there because the grandfather was taking care of his grandchildren since their parents died years earlier and his grandson died the day Cory was brought in so he felt this connection with Cory and hired the best care for him and eventually moved him into his home and he became part of his family and had a good life.


message 19: by Erin (new)

Erin H Little late to this thread but I was so disappointed with Cory's story. I loved the original series a lot better.

Jay Catsby (jay_catsby) | 10 comments I loved this series. The way that the main characters seemed to become so entangled and entrenched in the Dollanganger story, in a similar way as I did. The story of the Dollanganger children changed my life, my outlook, the way that I see the world and the interpersonal relationships between people in all walks of life. The conflicts presented in the "Christopher's Diary" series were realistic, and relatable to a degree, but the classic and underlying themes of Andrews' works, psychotic instability and horror, are ever-present. The way that the stories meshed together so artfully was astonishing yet again.
