Review of 'Flowers in the Attic' on 'Goodreads'

Either way, I loved the writing style and the characters. It was a compelling read and I'm always up for a little bit of dark fiction. Heck, it probably says something about my previous reading choices that I found this story pretty tame despite its reputation.
Either way, I can see myself picking up one of the sequels in the future. :D
