msmichaela 's review for:
We Need to Talk About Kevin
by Lionel Shriver
Finished this smart, disturbing novel a week ago and haven't wanted to revisit it enough to write a review here. Lionel Shriver can work a complicated plot twist brilliantly, and I'm in awe of the way she experiments with form (this novel is a series of letters from wife to husband). And/but, ye gods, this novel is bleaker than bleak. I swear that dwelling in the perspective of a woman whose son becomes a school shooter affected my parenting - negatively - during the time I was reading this book. It's unforgettable and really, really dark.
