Maybe the Starbucks Skaters have a chapter there? :floorlaugh:
Lol, with a Starbucks logo gang tat.

While they don't, some are much more inauthentic in appearance than others.
E.g., (o)(o) vs. (x)(x) vs. (*)(*) vs. (.)(.), etc.
I almost commented on that myself when I first saw it. It made me sick to watch her eat. It also made me ill when she was snapping pics of Travis doing the chicken dance. She ran through the frame manically with her hair flying. Made my skin crawl.
I read it a few years ago and tried to get everyone I knew to read it.
It's such a well written and well thought out book. I bought a few more books by Lionel Shriver but those weren't as atmospheric or intoxicating as this one. She really got into the heart and mind of the mother.
The letters and where the letters lead and the crucial bits of info that she withholds until just when you think you can't take anymore, she drops another bomb.
I could not put the book down until I read it all. The mother is fascinating and smart and savvy yet cold, detached and dispassionate. And the way she feels about Kevin ... that was a shocking position for a protagonist, don't you think?
I don't want to give any thing important away and I could discuss this book forever. I'm a geek. I know. :blushing:
Saw a chunk of the movie but it was missing something. It was bleak and cold and stark in a way that the book wasn't. Does that make sense, Nymeria? I thought the book enveloped you and held you there while the movie seemed so empty.
I liked the actress who portrayed the mother. Tilda something? She was very good. Not quite what I envisioned while reading the book but a really good choice. The movie wasn't quite worthy of her performance.
Signing off now on this subject. :floorlaugh:

To piggy back off your quote, I have been trying to think of the one thing (given all these traits) that if I could, say to her, that would cut her to the core. Not the usual, you are hated, you are despicable...she's use to hearing that.
Just the one thing.............that would shake her being. I cant figure out what it would be. :banghead:
If you want to see the tranformation of a murderer from a year or so in jail to several years on Death Row, check out this post which, ironically is post #666 (totally unplanned).

I think she thrived in there (jail) because she didn't have to do anything for herself in the way of surviving......no bills, no worries about the next meal, no "keep up with the jones's as far as clothes etc, etc. Parasites often do well when incarcerated. Her problem now is that all along she could pretend there was an end date to all of it.........she was still going to have that great husband, house, nice clothes and blond hair again. This verdict has thrown her off her rocker because there is nothing better to look forward to. I however, think she will adapt well to long term in prison as long as it is in general population. JMO

So I havent posted yet, but this remark is worth coming out of lurking for...
On Thursday I picked up my Granddaughter from school. We arrived home at my condo 4pm (ET) and she began to create art in the playroom, while I scurried to the living room turning on TV as not to miss any of the aggravation phase.
My 7 yr.old Lyssa came into the room and asked me "Grandma what does murder mean?"
Yikes!
So I gently explained, leaving out unnecessary information.
We watched together hearing court was canceled. Observing the EMT's bringing a stretcher into the building, my granddaughter commented, "I guess that girl murdered somebody again."!!!

This is the same Dateline show from Friday night (the one with Josh Mankowicz). If it is, then it's pretty good. Beats the heck out of the 20/20 broadcast aired on (I believe it was) Thursday.

I believe the equality is:
inauthenticity of appearance ∝ (final boob size - initial boob size)
