I remember reading Flowers in the Attic in 4th or 5th grade for a book report. I could never understand why the other kids would pick out really short uninteresting books. Looking back on it I can't figure out why my parents let me read it at that age, but they hadn't read it and didn't know about it. I had access to it because I had an older brother in my house that was reading it. I also remember my teacher not being very happy that I picked that book and suggesting other ones.
