Boy A

this weekend, i continue my ever-going pursuit of SnM (shopping, novel, movie! LOL! ok, very lame).
this time round, i finished Boy A - a novel i picked up previously @ borders closing down sale.
the book left me a little depressed after im done with it.
its basically about a child murderer going back to society after he has grown up.
an interesting topic, nevertheless.
set you thinking lots of questions with no apparant answers. @_@

theres a question at the end of the book asking why are most people more disturbed by child murderers than adult ones?
i guess the answers varied.
but one common one will be its pretty hard to swallow the fact that a child (so young and innocent) will have the intention to murder and may actually derive satisfaction from the act itself.
its easier to push the blame to society and the environment to be responsible in moulding the sinister natures of murderers.
we do like to think of kids as untainted, only to be contaminated in their growing up years right?

i dont think i will follow up with the film of same name.
just too depressing.
