Didn’t Like It “This novel was very disappointing. Not a single character triggered a spark of compassion in me. Sarah exasperated me - I wanted to shout to her : "You want to go away ?

Sarah exasperated me - I wanted to shout to her : "You want to go away ? Then go away ! Do something !" She's not touching, she's desperate but hard. The killer story did not add much, it seems like something just peppered on the rest to spice it up - but there were not enough elements to add some flavour and the ingredients simply did not mix at all ! Little Children is just another novel on conformist, suburban alienation - and there are dozens of books that are a lot better on the subject. It looks like a bad TV show.”

“This is a disturbing novel because of all the dysfunctional characters. Even the good guys have a distorted sense of values.”

“Desperate Housewives meets real life drama. Quite a sad story in many ways, and disturbingly relatable...”

“my favorite character out of this book is McGgorvey's.let's not call it favorite maybe the most character got my sympathy and support especially that every character has its history and black sins.The rejection he found from his town people,Larry moon's behavior and his mother's death made me feel sorry for him.”

“I thought this would be better. It was OK, pretty good even, but not as good as it's critical success would indicate. I just never cared about the sex offender storyline much, and it was half the book. Why was it in there? Adultery wasn't enough? A very quick, easy read with no challenges. Grade: B.”

“Loved the writing. Sparkling and smart. I don't read fiction very often, but I'm glad I made an exception for this book. ”
