Tenderness | Robert Cormier

3 posts | 3 read

Eighteen-year-old Eric has just been released from juvenile detention for murdering his mother and stepfather. Now he’s looking for tenderness—tenderness he finds in caressing and killing beautiful girls. Fifteen-year-old Lori has run away from home again. Emotionally naļve but sexually precocious, she is also looking for tenderness—tenderness she finds in Eric. Will Lori and Eric be each other’s salvation or destruction? Told from their alternating points of view, this harrowing thriller speeds to its fateful conclusion with an irresistible force, and a final twist that will not be easily forgotten.

Doesn't look like much, but August will be the month I truly get my 'read' on! Lol

Jellybeanbon The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand is one of my top 5 favorites. I still want to check out the Anthem. 8y

britt_brooke Nice graphic! š‘š¸» 8y

Zakia @Jellybeanbon Don't you find her political rants off-putting? I got a bit of it in Anthem and it kind of spoiled it for me. 8y

Zakia @britt_brooke thanks! 8y

Jellybeanbon @Zakia hmm I think there was so much going on in The Fountainhead that it didn't bother me. I'll have a go at The Anthem and let you know what I think. 8y

Amazing! I never thought I'd feel sympathy for a serial killer... But Cormier is so skilled, he actually made me feel sad for Eric. Definitely a good one!

The total absence of a conscience has always fascinated me.
