A very well constructed book, but my rating/enjoyment was sufficiently hampered by the "reveal" thatvarielble's review against another edition

I cannot get over the fact that the author thinks that you can detect anti-social personality disorder (or whatever) from an amniocentesis screening. Sir, that is a fetus. You can't even do ableism right.

I felt like I should add that, because, as I said, from a literary standpoint, this short novel does what it set out to do. If you love to read about twisted, despicable characters and the moral abysses that can lurk behind the façade of the "normal, happy family", I'd recommend this book. It just wasn't for me, at least not for now...
