We Need to Talk About Kevin - Lionel Shriver

 



We Need to Talk about Kevin

Lionel Shriver

Genre: Psychological Thriller

Date started: January 1, 2021

Prompt: 8

Date finished: January 4, 2021

How did this book make me feel: unsettled

Stars:

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 

What I most loved:

The character development. These characters, though some unlikable, were very well developed.

What I didn't like:

I didn't like the format. This book was written as letters to Eva's estranged husband. It kept jumping between past and present, and the format of reading letters was not pleasing.

Review:

This book was jarring. I could not put it down, despite the fact that I did not want to keep reading. I did not expect that Franklin and Celia were dead in the backyard. I wonder if Kevin had an undiagnosed emotional disorder, or perhaps Eva did.


This book was a struggle from beginning to end, but I enjoyed the struggle the whole way through.
