I wish people could see past the incest to understand the point the book is trying to make.

“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” - John Steinbeck
I wish the American public could once again become comfortable with Melodrama, as sometimes it’s the most effective medium to get a warning across. In this case: the myth of the American Family Unit, and the way a religious upbringing lends itself so easily to child abuse.
Any composers out there want to team up with a first-time librettist to turn this into an Opera?

I listened to the audio book for the first time after reading the book for a couple of times. Every time I read it, I become more and more certain that Flowers in the Attic, despite its reputation as ‘YA trash’ of all things, is an incredible piece of gothic literature. In my opinion, the greatest theme you can add to tragedy is repetition; it is repetition the Dollanganger children are doomed to. From prose to plot, I am enveloped once again by the claustrophobic horror that Andrews creates. My Sweet Audrina is next!

It's disturbing, it's messed up, and it's morally terrible on so many different levels.

This was a read that I kind of skimmed through but read enough to understand the whole book. I saw this movie a LONG time ago and was suddenly interested in reading the book, so I did. I got bored a few times but I loved reading how the mother was turning into such a selfish douchebag, like holy crap. She turned into such a B*TCH.
I didn’t think it was as creepy as some people say, but maybe I went in there expecting weirdness.
