We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver
3.0
I am still reeling from finishing this book. The first 100 or so pages were brutal. If this hadn't been a book club book I may have stopped reading. It wasnt brutal from the content as none of the 'incidents' had occurred but rather the writers style of writing or rather over-writing everything! I found it so boring it took my 5 days just to read the first 100 pages without falling asleep.
Once Kevin was born and we see many of the things he was capable of, it broke my heart as a parent. What would you do when your offspring is the spawn of satan? In the end was it better to still have a relationship with Kevin? Or no family at all? So much to discuss nature vs nurture. Are you born evil?
