we need to talk about kevin by lionel shriver

I think that was done really well.Īlso the relationship between Eva and Kevin is so complex. That was one of the brightest points of this novel for me. And so she was torn with this sense of duty and her own reservations of having children. She struggles a lot with her feelings toward having kids, and her aptness (or lack of) for being a mother. It’s not in your face, preachy feminism, but it is indisputably there. Was Kevin always like this? Was he born this way? Or is it all Eva’s fault? Was she a bad mother?Įva is such a poster girl for feminism without her being a poster girl for feminism, if that makes sense. nurture was perfectly intervowen into the story.

The biggest debate of psychology, the debate of nature vs. I find that her recounting of her son’s life as a way of her coping with the thing that happend was masterfully done. But, she is a very relatable one, and I was with her and rooting for her and felt sorry for her throughout the novel. I personally don’t like Eva, I don’t think that she is a likable character.

I really love how this novel was handled. And it’s great that I forgot some of the details, which allowed them to make a full blown impact on me. I watched the movie ages ago, and wanted to read the book ever since.
