I found myself getting completely angry at Kevin's parents. Instead of realizing that they made mistakes and realizing that the entire situation was completely preventable, they instead throw have a huge pity party. It was so completely frustrating to me to read that, but the truth is, I can only imagine that a lot of parents are like that in similar situations.Portugalhttp://ucanbewhatuwant.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-76894414788183085352011-08-15T08:34:46.998-05:002011-08-15T08:34:46.998-05:00I haven't read this book yet, but many have re...I haven't read this book yet, but many have recommended this one.

Many of my friends have told me that I'd be blown away by We Need to Talk about Kevin ... it's on my wish list, and, yes, if the film comes to a local art house (or eventually DVD), I'll likely see it.Dawn @ sheIsTooFondOfBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285873722005594325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-16224937120801053182011-08-12T00:49:20.676-05:002011-08-12T00:49:20.676-05:00I just picked this novel up a while ago and hope t...I just picked this novel up a while ago and hope to get to it soon.

To be honest, it took me about 100 pages to really get into the book. I'm glad I stuck with it, though, because I was ultimately blown away by it.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-8725333738572610462011-08-10T09:31:06.705-05:002011-08-10T09:31:06.705-05:00I had no idea this was been adapted for the big sc...I had no idea this was been adapted for the big screen.

I will be seeing the movie at some point though.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-35031735434932770572011-08-10T08:09:48.205-05:002011-08-10T08:09:48.205-05:00Yes, I read the book.
