We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver

dark emotional sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

Wow what a slog. Listened to the audiobook on 1.5 speed but it still felt like an eternity! 

Since you know what ultimately happens, the build up is not nearly as anxiety-inducing as it should have been. The main character is insufferable. 

What a disappointment
