Over the years I've heard about this book and when I recently read & enjoyed [b:Forbidden|7600924|Forbidden|Tabitha Suzuma|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1302655056s/7600924.jpg|10018976] I noticed it again being mentioned and so when I recently passed it in the library I said I'd give it a whirl.
I can definitely see the similarities between the two. How when the lines are blurred between brother/sister to more mother/father people become confused and things can happen.
This definitely had a Stephen King Horrorish vibe to it.
I am curious to find out what happens to the kids but I don't know if I am curious enough to read a whole other book.
These poor kids had such a horrible time of it, I thought the grandmother was bad but WOW the mother really took over as most hated!

Genuinely had no idea how popular this book was until i saw the reviews, literally never heard of it.
But speaking of reviews i don't find the book as strange as the reception to it. People feel so strongly about what i found was kinda mediocre. Not nearly offensive enough to warrant such strong hate nor good enough to enchant THIS many people.
Anyways you should all read misery by Steven king. And i'd like to nominate delta of Venus as 'the incest book' because this book is wildly underserving of such a heavy title.
