Story
Eva never really wanted to be a mother - and certainly not the mother of a boy who ends up murdering seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his 16th birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin’s horrific rampage, in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin.

Not the Original (Missing Chapters)
- By Kelsey Bernier on 2023-09-18
Written by: Janet Fitch
Publisher's Summary
In the sweet, untroubled voice of a precocious teenage girl, Susie relates the awful events of her death and her own adjustment to the strange new place where she finds herself. It looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kind of swing sets.
With love, longing, and a growing understanding, Susie watches her family as they cope with their grief: her father embarks on a search for the killer, her sister undertakes a feat of amazing daring, her little brother builds a fort in her honor, and they begin the difficult process of healing.
This story of seemingly unbearable tragedy is transformed into a suspenseful and touching narrative about family, memory, love, heaven, and living.
What the critics say
"A keenly observed portrait of familial love...a deeply affecting meditation on the ways in which terrible pain...can be redeemed." ( The New York Times)
"A personal and artistic triumph." ( Time)

Good Story with very Monotonous Narration
Loved the story itself but I dont think it was a great idea to have the author narrate the story. She didnt give the story the tone it deserved and in a way made it hard to listen to. If you can get past that and focus on the story itself then it may be able to redeem itself.

Started out exciting
It started out great, and exciting. I was excited to find out what would happen next but it quickly fizzled out. She paints a lovely picture with words but it got very boring about 8 chapters in. I was very disappointed. The author has a soothing voice but it’s also very bland which added to the overall lacklustre

wow
amazingly creative and well put together. Having the author narrate the book made it so much better and being able to hear her inspiration for writing it made it easier to enjoy.

Narration really not that bad
I was skeptical at first because their were so many reviews saying the narrator's performance was very poor. Her type of narration was subdued not monotone. I don't enjoy narrator's giving characters different voices and I thought that she did very well to convey the omniscient narration of the story. I've been wanting to read this for a while and knew what I was getting into. At times there story seems to veer off course and there are entire chapters that feel like they are just there for the sake of padding the book. all that being said I think the theme and execution of that theme was very well done.

Emotional rollercoaster
Watched the movie first long ago, then decided to listen to the book and there's so much that was missed. Definitely a good listen.

Highly recommend reading instead of listening
This is the worst audio performance I’ve ever listened to. I highly recommend just reading this book. It’s an interesting story that is really, really difficult to get through in Audible because of how poorly it’s dictated.
