Lovedthis is a great book that really explores the topic of nature versus nurture the idea is the child just like that or is he more so a reflection of the mother's treatment of him

We need to talk about Kevin (2003)
Creators: Mixed The gripping international bestseller about motherhood gone awry. "Eva never really wanted to be a mother -- and certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his sixteenth birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklyn. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails."-- Cover, p. [4]

Likedthe writing style in this book is very beautiful and haunting and although this book is definitely not as gory as the last couple books i mentioned i think because this one feels so painfully realistic especially looking at the news these days every time unfortunately open up the news and you fear something horrible that has happened i won't say anything specific because it will get into what happens in the books really uncomfortable and there although there are moments of gore they're done in a really subtle way but that are just very disturbing

DislikedSo, trying to deal with her pretentious writing and how slow it was, and her in general, I was just, yeah, it was time to give up.

Mixedi think i gave it a three stars in the end because it is a really interesting concept i did like the ideas and the themes but i struggled a lot with the reading of it and wanting to enjoy characters rather than dislike the characters the whole way through
