I also read this as a teen it was my first real "adult" book, I'd had enough of Sweet Valley High I remember being just a little bit wierded out by it. But I would like to read it again now that I'm older.

Hi Gali-gali wrote:Thank you for your review.
I have read those books in my childhood and liked them (especially the first 2 books in the series). As an adult and as a mother I find them ghastly and I can't understand how I was able to read them. My daughter has read the first book and didn't like it. She was shocked by it in fact. I wouldn't recommend those books, especially not to young adults. The writing is very good, but the theme is gross to put it gently. The series deteriorates in my view from book to book. I didn't read the last books in the series.
Actually, the author was smart in the sense that the last book in the series actually tells and explains the background of the Grandmother's story. It really narrates how and why she became the way that she is in the 'current' time. The story topics don't necessarily change so if that is the reason why you didn't like the book in the first place then this is definitely one to skip. However, after I read the last book, I re-read the first book and actually had a different view of the Grandmother!
