[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read[b] Flowers in the Attic [/b]in 7th grade when I was 12. I think books that are erotica are not okay but books with sex scenes are, because ... people have sex. I am fairly certain by 9th grade I was reading my mom's Danielle Steel books with her blessing.[/quote]

That book is seriously disturbing![/quote]

why?  I read it when I was a "tween", but don't recall much about the book.  what's so disturbing about it?  and if I don't even recall much about the book, it obviously had zero impact on me. [/quote]

Not that poster, and I liked the book when I read it years ago, but off the top of my head the things that PP might consider disturbing are (SPOILERS, highlight the next two lines of this post to reveal).....
[color=white]the incest, the seriously warped attitudes about sex held by at least 3 characters, and (unrelated to sexual content) the child abuse/neglect and the fact that the mother was conspiring to murder her kids via poison -- arsenic, I think.[/color][/quote]
