This book had a profound affect on me and especially my mother. My mother still swears that there's a possibility of getting "something more" when you adopt a child. I guess that goes for sperm donor children, too. You'll never truly know the genetic background or medical history of these kids. If you haven't seen it already, the film is the creepiest thing around. There's a difference between gratuitous violence and psychological horror and this book/film ranks up there with "Psycho." Poor Nancy McCormick had to live with the stigma of being "the bad seed" but she played it so well.
