I have just finished it and thought it was fantastic. I had so many conevrsations with myself about the relationship between mother and child, about the old nature v nuture thing, about father and child, siblings etc etc. it was moving and thought provoking. and there was something like an uplifting irony about the end

Did yu get the feeling that Kevin's behaviour was driven by the need to kill everyone who was loved, because he wasn't loved by his mother? And also that he had to 'prove' that he was totaly unlovable.....so as to make his mother 'right' to reject him?

I didn't enjoy it at first, but got pulled into the book. I can't say that I liked the book but it was interesting
