This is a book about a young boy who kills eleven people in one day. The story is told through a series of letters written from Kevin’s mother to his father. Through these letters she is able to tell him about her “unspeakable” feelings towards the boy as he was growing up.
This was supposed to be a thought provoking book on the age old debate “nature versus nurture” but in my opinion it fails terribly. The book is pretentious and childish. I would have thought it more the work of an immature school girl who thinks motherhood is out of fashion and that it’s “cool” to say she doesn’t like children.
There is a film coming out shortly, hopefully it will be better than the book!
