Just had my book club read this and holy shit.

If you have not already, read her newest, Big Brother. Because I am dying to talk about it to, even months after I read it.

This book was orginally for my sister to read for a school assessment but after helping her with her homework i came across it and couldnt put it down! I think Kevin is a very sick person and I think Eva did an amazing job sharing with us the inside of a mind of her’ offspring’ murder.

It’s good–I picked it up in a bookstore and read it while I was waiting for someone, and I had to buy it. The main character, Irina, is frustrating (I think it’s close third, not first person) but also very believable. It has a tricky narrative conceit, and it’s long. But I like long novels. We Need to Talk, by the way, also reminded me of Doris Lessing’s The Fifth Child, which freaked me out for a long time.

Thanks Belle!

Kevin was my first Lionel Shriver experience. It was so good that I’m a little torn on whether to dive into Post-Birthday World, can it live up to the precedent she’s set?
