Psycho moms are fun. Who wouldn't want a mommy who's always on your side and won't let anyone hurt you? Jessica isn't appreciative of her mother's violent tendencies, but we never understand our parents when we're young. She'll realize how wonderful her Mommy is when she inevitably turns into her, as all of us young women do.
I was disappointed with the writing style, however: It's as if a teenager wrote this book. Collins had a good idea but his technique is lacking. Also, like many authors, he doesn't grasp childhood; many authors seem to make their young characters smarter and much more mature than most kids are. That's fine once in a while, but it happens all too often.

Mommy is more of a villain in MOMMY than she is in MOMMY'S DAY, but she will fulfill your fantasies of the mom who will stand up for you. We should all have mommies who care so much.

Jessica better learn to appreciate her mother soon, though. She doesn't want Mommy to get mad at her. When the person who loves you turns on you, who do you turn to?

Hey, psychotics need love, too.
