New book

This was the first Christmas in a while that I did not get a book as a present. Which was a good thing in some ways because I have a stack of books in my bedside table waiting to be read. I just finished a book last night that I found really hard to get into at first but the ending just made me absolutely love the entire book. I found it to be really wordy and it had tons of words that I had no idea what they meant but if you could get past that it was really good. The book was We Need to Talk About Kevin.

 
The book was basically a series of letters that a wife is writing to her husband about her son that shoots a bunch of students at his school. I found the whole psychology thing behind what was wrong with him and possibly why he did it to be very interesting.The ending had me crying for a good half an hour.

I just bought a new book by one of my absolute favorite authors Wally Lamb called The Hour I First Believed which also has references to the Columbine school shootings (I find the subject to be fascinating). I didn't even read the description of the book before I bought it because I have devoured all of Lamb's other books. I had no idea that he even came out with a new book. So I am starting this book tonight!
