Well I knew my ex really wanted to read this book so I got it for her and left it in her box before class and everyone went "Ahhhhh" at how sweet a gesture it was and she wound up putting a stiletto through my heart anyway. So basically, movies are right about everything else except that. Some nice incest stuff in the book, though -- it's sort of like FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC for non-morons. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/227398?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
