Gem of a book YES!! A 5 star without a doubt YES!! But certainly not a re-readable book (for ME)!! Period!! This was THE most Distressing, Disquieting yet Intriguing book I have ever read! And definitely was not an easy read nor it was easy to keep it aside once I started, it really perplexed me at...
An astonishing, devastating book. The most affecting thing I've read since John Updike's Rabbit tetralogy (itself acclaimed by Booker Prize-winner Julian Barnes as "the best American novel of the postwar period").A tale of subarban discontent set in late '50s Connecticut and New York (think Mad Men)...
"Libraries aren't supermarkets; they're places of cultural importance, where magic happens and where dreams begin. Or at least they should be" - Ann Cleeves.It is possible to step empty-handed into a library, and find fragments and pieces of your soul among the endless bookshelves. It happened to me...
Wow! What an amazing book! I was shocked by the ending. There were parts, especially in the beginning, that dragged, but soon I didn't want to put the book down.As you probably know, this is about a mother who tries to determine if she was partially to blame for her son killing seven classmates, ...

This is one of those books where I hated all the characters, but I liked the book, even though it was talky. (I skimmed over a lot paragraphs where the narrator just seemed to blathering away about nothing.) Although the ending was a complete cop-out I still wouldn't recommend this book for people...
I knew before I started that reading this was going to be hard. We Need to Talk about Kevin is listed as one of the most disturbing books on GR. So, in an attempt to limit the coming agony, I made a few rules: RULE 1: Do not get emotionally involved. RULE 2: Do not take sides. RULE 3: Do not d...
I watched the film they made from this book last weekend and found it to be absolutely haunting. I simply cannot stop thinking about it. I have to get a copy of this. Chances are it's even more masterful then the film.
I've seen the movie first before I discovered that it was actually a novel. And I was very intrigued why Kevin acts that way so I read the book. I love the book in a way that I see myself in Kevin (but not the murderous type)...
