Flowers in the Attic

All the publicity about the Golden Compass, which this article's author enjoyed, but would not give to her kids, also brings up memories of "the preteen incest classic Flowers in the Attic", which the author was enthralled by and which remain very popular for female teen/preteen readers. This made me laugh because I think I've read two or three of these books and they are utterly appalling, yet mysteriously compelling, at least for a book or two. Not sure if any of you got sucked in by this, but I certainly was when I was younger.
