i generally dont like reading reviews but this one was special..the kind of view you have on such matters is what i like to read.

Oh Wow! I LOOOOVED this book!!! I read it on my honeymoon (NOT very good honeymoon reading, I assure you!) and I just couldn't put it down, I still think about it all the time.. what a great book!

I agree. Have witnessed exactly what you speak of.

Don't think I could read either book on this subject, too close to my greatest fear.

@ IHM: Ah someone else who agrees that people can be born evil/mean/antisocial. I had an argument with a friend a long time ago about how it was wrong for me to have such a belief since I was aiming to work in a field to 'change' people. But like I say, not everyone can or wants to change...and with some of them...it's because they were born that way. Oh...and I didn't actually

Thanks for the recommendation. My last book was "2 states" by chetan Bhagat. It was just ok. A one time read maximum:)

I do think some people are born evil. Children born in the same environment, raised by similar parents, going though similar trauma and joys and challenges etc don't all turn out the same. I wish it possible to raise every body to be good, purely by providing a suitable environment but I feel it isn't.
Dangerous, cruel, anti social people are not always (though they often are)

@ Nu: Thanks! :)

@ MPH: Ooh...will check out yours!

@ Titaxy: So glad you're back! You're right in the need to take down the names of books....there's so many that by the time I'm at the bookstore, I actually forget most of them!

@ PNA: I just finished The Hungry Tide. That's the only Amitav Ghosh book I've read so far. Will keep an eye out

i'm so loving coming back to reading all these posts about books on some of my fav blogs, thanks to you :-)

this sounds interesting...i haven't read it, maybe will pick it up soon...i so need to make a list of all the books i wanna read, otherwise when i go to the store or order online, i tend to forget the ones i've had in mind for days and just order whatever pops up to

Hey that's nice look !

2009-11-28T22:14:05.579+11:00

@ Quixotic: Jodi Picoult's take on 19 minutes is completely different from this one. At least in 19 mins you do empathise with the young boy...but in this...you just can't. I must say, I didn't particularly enjoy God of Small things but loved Handle with Care. I tend to like almost all of Jodi Picoult's work. :)

@ Nu: Aw...you are not first unfortunately. Finished

Hmm. On similar lines of Jodi Picoults' Nineteen Minutes, right?

Have been meaning to read We Need to Talk About Kevin for ages. Loved Jodi Picoult's take on this subject in 19 Minutes - yuo actually empathise with the shooter.
Also loved the God of Small Things and Handle With Care.
