    I read this series as an early teen, and found it all really quite disturbing. I still think occasionally of the boy with a pitchfork and stuff. <shudder>

    I read heaps of those as a teenager, loved them.
    But now as an adult I think the issues are just too depressing and disturbing. I've gone soft in my old age, I can only handle nice stories or I can't sleep at night!

    I first read them at about 12...gave me quite an education ...and then again at about 14 I think.

    Looks like I am off to the shops. I love Virginia Andrews and that series is my favourite. I only have Flowers In The Attic now though. Thanks for that.

    I noticed a difference between the Virginia Andrews books & the change when she passed away & they went to VC Andrews. I didn't like the latter ones nearly as much.

    I have them all right up to the current release. I can't put them down even with the writer that took over. I got the last series all 3 books for my birthday and had them read in 1.5 days Andrew refuses to buy me the books now cause I have them over and done with so quickly LOL

    I bought the FITA series today at Big W - now I am embarrassed to read them in public LOL!! They are like a Mills and Boon!

    Funny thing is I also bought "Good Taste" magazine - it was 25 cents cheaper than each of the books LOL!!
