We need to talk about Kevin

[Anonymous]

I’ve owned this book since 2005 and only now got around to reading it. Holy hell, it is one of The best things I have ever read. Any one have any recommendations for similar books? Or books with a similar mood/ tone. I love anything subtly eerie, books about sociopaths and maternal ambivalence.

Saw the movie. Eek! So creepy and really fascinating.

Ugh I hated the book.

Hated!

I decided I don’t like diary entry format. All of it is just awful

It is one of those love it or hate it books. Like how I HATED wolf hall but lots of other people seem to love it.

I saw the movie but didn’t read the book. Tilda Swinton is simply too good.

It is a badly written book.

Loved We Need to Talk About Kevin

Such a great book. Did a book club on it. Movie not as good.

The movie was haunting. But there’s no way Tilda Swinton would ever have a son named Kevin. She’s too cool.

Good Girl, Bad Girl by Michael Robotham.

The Dinner by Herman Koch is somewhat similar. My book club read We Need to Talk About Kevin and we still talk about it sometimes, it has that effect on people.

Not about maternal ambivalence but sociopathy character study is the “you” series by Carolyn Kepnes.. which was adapted to a Netflix series but her books are good.

I also love Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho.

I didn’t finish “Babyteeth” but it’s about maternal ambivalence and a bad seed child and some people loved it.

I read “we need to talk about Kevin” when I was pregnant with my first child (a boy)… and it chilled me to the core.. the film adaptation was good too!
