I read every single word.It would seem odd to me to skip words, or whole chapters! If it is a book that I don’t really want to read I tend not to focus on the words and usually following that end up giving up. I read to enjoy a book, I feel if I skip a word I am missing out on enjoyment, but not only that its cheating.
In this gripping novel of motherhood gone awry, Lionel Shriver approaches the tragedy of a high-school massacre from the point of view of the killer’s mother.In letters written to the boy’s father, mother Eva probes the upbringing of this more-than-difficult child and reveals herself to have been the reluctant mother of an unsavory son. As the schisms in her family unfold, we draw closer to an unexpected climax that holds breathtaking surprises and its own hard-won redemption. In Eva, Shriver has created a narrator who is touching, sad, funny, and reflective. A spellbinding read, We Need to Talk About Kevin is as original as it is timely.
This book is shocking, it is so grippingly raw that you will get emotional over it.Not very many books can take the very sensitive material of a high school killing, that was so forward in the headlines and turn it into a peace of art.. The book is told in a format of letters from the mothers point of view. You can deal with things from her perspective, and all of her raw emotions. If you can handle a high charged read this is a can not miss for you. I enjoyed it though it made me cry, I am glad it took me this long to find Kevin, I honestly don’t think I could have handled it before now.
This is a fun program if you like to write, you can work on your writting chops, and get paid for it.

Okay everyone this isnt book related but it is on my blog. If you could please take a look at the new button, I have added Subjective Beauty on the sidebar. Sara is going to be doing the new layout for the blog and should have it in April. I can hardly wait. She does some amazing work. I plan in the future to have her do my other blogs as well.
