Considering how much I appreciate this novel, I feel bad that 1 - I never bothered writing a review and 2 - I only gave it four stars. Really, if the fourth time you are reading a book you STILL can't put it down, then it's a winner. Eva is a reluctant mother (play on Eve?) who enjoys her career and is, plain and simple, a very understandable and relatable woman who simply does not feel the "natural" motherly urge. With this Shriver begins to develop the question of whether or a not a bad seed can be avoided - did her reluctance affect her child at all? And, from birth Kevin seems withdrawn and calculated - so how much was within her ability? Shriver not only draws you in with her excellent writing and superb characterization, but she also depicts Kevin as so skin crawlingly depsicable that you are emotionally blown away. You definitely understand Eva's disgust as Kevin refuses to be toilet trained for six years, as he deliberately ruins her artwork, and on and on. In the meantime, her husband seems totally into Kevin which also develops the question of how much of an unbiased view are we really getting? The story is gripping and so well crafted - had I been writing it, I would have ruined the story by making this eventual Columbine killer be all the things we would assume - dress in black, rebellious, etc. But no, Shriver creates a troubling person rather than a 'type' and he so well defies the stereotypes and yet defines the exact persona she wants to create that it is truly astounding. The novel has a surprise twist that is devastating and also retroactively explains the one seeming forced element of the novel, which is the epistolary fashion, but that aside, it is an incredible read. As I said to my sister, I know you hate books about bad things happening to kids/parents but TRUST ME THIS IS WORTH IT. And it is.
