mslaura 's review for:
The Wicked Boy: An Infamous Murder in Victorian London
by Kate Summerscale
This book has definitely left me thinking about how we judge people and who is redeemable. Are we the worst thing we've ever done or the best? Can someone be both good and evil, both sane and insane? At first it bothered me that I never really gained an understanding of all the hows and whys behind Robert Coombes's horrific act of violence, of his mental state, of how his life played out going forward, but maybe that is the point. Although I remain somewhat uncomfortable with all of my unanswered questions, I value this book for making me think.
