I've been looking for a new book to read and it intrigued me so I downloaded it to my kindle and have been reading during naps today. It's really pulled me in so far! mauri on "We Need to Talk About Kevin" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-need-to-talk-about-kevin#post-752638 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:55:47 +0000 mauri 752638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I read the book, and it put me on edge for weeks. I don't think I could handle the movie, especially now that I'm pregnant and due any day now. meredithNYC on "We Need to Talk About Kevin" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-need-to-talk-about-kevin#post-752585 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:37:57 +0000 meredithNYC 752585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @IRunForFun: I really like "The Post-Birthday World" and "So Much for That" is decent, too. She has a new one coming out soon called "Big Brother," but I haven't heard much about it. Here's a good profile of her from Elle that really highlights what an odd person she is: <a href="http://www.elle.com/pop-culture/reviews/lionel-shriver-profile-big-brother-book" rel="nofollow">http://www.elle.com/pop-culture/reviews/lionel-shriver-profile-big-brother-book</a> IRunForFun on "We Need to Talk About Kevin" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-need-to-talk-about-kevin#post-752538 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:18:52 +0000 IRunForFun 752538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @meredithNYC: Can I ask which of her other books you've read? After reading We Need to Talk About Kevin, I read The Female of the Species, and I couldn't get into it at all. Are there any of her others I should definitely check out?

It's definitely disturbing, but I think worth it. Lionel Shriver is one of my favorite authors and I think Tilda Swinton does an incredible job in the film, so that's my two cents.

Sounds maybe a little too twisted for my liking!

I spoiled the big plot twist for myself by reading the wiki entry, sadly. But I really enjoyed the book. It was like this godawful train wreck you couldn't look away from. loveisstrange on "We Need to Talk About Kevin" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-need-to-talk-about-kevin#post-752183 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:29:25 +0000 loveisstrange 752183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Didn't see the movie but I attempted the book.
