Harper, 2001

WOAH!

This is one of the best books I'v read in my life to date! I ran across a recomendation for it on a Diana Gabaldon site. The Outlander series is beloved to me and I can't help but compare everything to it. Although this is a very different sort of yarn ,this story is heartbreaking, gut ...

I could relate

I can't believe the mixed reviews for this book. I don't understand how some readers just did'nt get it, maybe they were so popular and socially adept in highschool that they could not relate. I certainly could relate to Lee on many levels. Did I like her? Not so much, but I could have been her in ...

We Need to Talk About Kevin: A Novel (P.S.)202 reviews
Lionel Shriver

Harper Perennial, 2006

Grips you. Turns your stomach. Makes you think about what's important in life.

+ Disturbing, engrossing, so horrible you can't put it down
+ It turned out to be a great book.

Whew, I haven't quite finished this book and I'm writing the review because I've been discussing it with some friends. Mostly we agree, but I strongly disagree with one usually insightful friend who maintains that the author, Shriver, hates, yes HATES her characters! This book isn't about hating ...
