Have you read ... We need to talk about Kevin ?

 

    For reasons which will become clear soon, I'm about to read Lionel Shriver's million-selling, Orange Prize-winning novel We Need To Talk About Kevin. The film version, starring Tilda Swinton as Eva, is due out later this month, so there will be renewed interest in this "powerful cautionary tale", this "most excruciating, thought-provoking book" which "knocks you sideways and takes your breath away".

    Have you read it? If so, I'd very much like to know what you think of it.
