This was by far the deepest book I ever read. I don't remember ever feeling so anxious, sad, angry and many other ways in different parts of a book. The characters are so complex and we can have a very close look into their thoughts, which is frightening, because they reveal that all of us have feelings and thoughts that are not pretty and that we do not how to deal with them. And it is amazing how Lionel Shriver managed to give pieces of information little by little, making me feel differently about each character in the course of the book.

Very disturbing and well written, although I disliked the first-person narrative. I understand that it was important/vital to the plot to unfold the way it does, but I hated being stuck inside that character's head.

Heartbreaking, thought-provoking - both one of the best and worst books I've ever read for its examination of motherhood and family life.
