  • I read it when I was much younger and I was disturbed to discover that my father read the whole series after he retired. Considering the subject matter it made me uncomfortable.

  • I read the series when I was young - somewhere in my teens. It WAS disturbing, but a good read nonetheless. Well, the first book anyway. Wasn't real taken with the followups...
  • I only heard about it recently because a friend of mine is acting in it. It is a disturbing story line and the movie is staying true to the story line.
  • I saw the original movie years ago. I remembered it was 'horror' and well-done and I hope the re-make is as good or better.

    • From what I can ascertain, it is going to be better. My guess is it will make a big star out of actor Mason Dye.

    • Same here.
  • Wasn't that by VC Andrews? I read it a long, long time ago and really don't remember word one of the thing. I probably will watch the movie just so I don't have to re-read the book to remember what it was about.

    • She died December 19, 1986 and her estate hired a ghost writer to write under her name because she was such a successful writer.

      I tried to read her Clan of the Cave Bear - just didn't grab me.

  • Jean M. Auel wrote Clan of the Cave Bear. She was born in 1936 and still kicking.

    • Ah - see how much it impacted me?

      Thanks for the correction.
  • i had never heard of it before... if you liked this book, you should try creepypasta

    (you didn't want to sleep tonight... did you?)
  • Hopefully, the new tv movie will be more true to the book. I found the original movie a little hammy.

  • Doesn't look like something I'm going to be watching. Now I remember why I wasn't a VC Andrews fan. Just didn't care for the stories.

    • Wow! I read the book way back when I was either in my late teens or early twenties. I liked it okay. I believe I read the next book in the series or two, but they were getting less and less a good read so I dropped reading the next ones.

      I never have watched a movie made about the book and don't really intend to, lol!

    • We don't have a TV, so really don't watch it at all, except what might show up on Internet. But I will somehow watch Flowers in the Attic, only because a friend is acting in it.
