This (audio)book was not at all what I expected it to be, and I imagine that many readers going in under the assumption that this would be some sort of globally applicable perpetrators' parents'-eye-view of the epidemic of school shootings and teen violence will be disappointed by its shortcomings i...
I was listening to the radio .... And playing is Oliie Murs song, Troublemaker. There's a line in it that goes "Why does it feel so good, but hurt so bad?" .... That's how I feel about Lionel Shrivers We Need to Talk About Kevin .... I both loved this book, hence the five star rating, and hated it...
The obvious comparison of this book is with the novel Lolita. Both books are ambiguous as to what is going on. In my interpretation, both books are about the self-justifications of a delusional monster. At the time Lolita came out, there was a much lower level of awareness of child sexual abuse an...
As someone who is the age of the main character when she decides to have a child and who is going through some of the mental stages that the main character did when she was choosing to have or not have a child this did strike a chord.

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...
