The novel is written as a series of letters from the mother of mass murderer Kevin Khatchadourian to her husband. The mother is Eva Khatchadourian, and Armenian- American woman who loves to travel the world and built a business empire from travel books. The letters begin in 2000, two years after K...
This book is excellent in every way. This was not the right time for me to read it. Even with the anxiety it caused in me, however, I couldn't put it down. Now that I have finished it, I wonder if I will pick it up again...perhaps once my kid has survived high school (touch-wood).
I really loved this book although I do question how realistic it actually was...can children really be born evil to the core, as I believe Kevin was in this novel? I'm not completely sure of the answer to that but this book certainly addresses the age old question of nature vs. nurture and leaves me...
Here's the thing. If I can't get past how a story is written, I am not going to enjoy it. At all. The way this book is set up just forced me to struggle through until the very end to get to the final pages of the book. With information parsed out to readers slowly, I think the author was hoping to b...
Starts really slow. Or better said, it was a drag, to be honest. I was waiting impatiently for Kevin to be born. Eva's voice was OK but the way it was narrated... all over the place. It is when Kevin is born that things get interesting.The movie was good, but now that I've read the book, I think the...

I picked up this book because it was voted as our book club book for December. I hadn't heard anything about this book previously, but the synopsis sounded really cool. The theme for this month was psychology, and I'm all about that. (Heck yes, Criminal Minds may or may not be my favorite show. It i...
...In asking petulantly whether Thursday was my fault, I have had to go backward, to deconstruct. It is possible that I am asking the wrong question. In any event, by thrashing between exoneration and excoriation, I have only tired myself out. I don't know.
It could be said, genetically speaking, that parenthood is like a box of chocolates, because you never really know what you’re going to get - be it a well-rounded, easy-going, straight A-grade caramel; or a bitter, frustrated, possibly homicidal cherry liqueur. Except I hate that analogy, because ev...
Very very short review on this. Took me a while to get my hands on this as i got it from My local Library. I don't think I could ever get the sound. shsh-thunk. out of my head again. An absolutely heartbreaking tale. I was left with a deep unease after reading this book. This book is just de...
