    Bad Points: None

    General comments: Fascinating read - even though you know what is the subject of the book as it's stated clearly on the back cover and referred to all the way through, the author keeps twists until the end and reveals further fascinating snippets all the way along. A very different approach - and a rather brave one. Thought provoking. If you want an enjoyable (and witty) book with an uncomfortable context, this makes for un-put-downable reading.

    We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver is a page-turner of an account of a mother bringing up a difficult child who ends up committing a horrendous crime. The book is non-judgemental, and you are left to make up your own mind about who might be at fault - is the mother's lack of love for her child at fault, or was the child 'born evil' somehow, and therefore impossible to love? Or is it the fault of society? Good one for (open minded) book groups.
