Ruthiella Yes, little Tom is a budding serial killer. 😱 2y
willaful I'm not looking forward to her having to deal with this little sociopath. 😫 I'm guessing she's going to grow up quick. 2y

BarkingMadRead @willaful seriously though! I think I‘ve been watching too many true crime shows lately or something, because I immediately went to serial killers with this one 😆😆 hopefully I‘m overreacting! 2y
willaful @BarkingMadRead I suppose the author wouldn't have made that particular connection and I guess it's *possible* he's just extremely spoiled and could improve but *shudder*. 2y
IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead I immediately went to serial killer too! Though that‘s not how I‘m actually predicting the plot plays out. Clearly modern media has warped all our brains 😂😅🤣 2y
Clare-Dragonfly Ohhhhh boy. I had a feeling when the mother started describing her children that no one else would see them the way she does, but I was not envisioning this spoiled little sociopath! And Agnes has not made a good start at all by indulging his talk and attending to him over Mary Ann 😬 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t expect him to become a serial killer like Jack the Ripper, but if the book goes long enough for him to become an adult, I absolutely see him killing people. Maybe he‘ll become a duelist! His dad and uncle probably kill people too, just in accepted ways. Killing animals is literally one of the childhood signs of a budding serial killer. It‘s not a stretch on our parts! 2y
Librarybelle I was horrified! Poor Agnes…and completely agree with @Clare-Dragonfly !! 2y
AnnR Agnes was ill prepared to deal with children like this. She let Tom get the upper hand on the first day. What a sad set of circumstances for Agnes. This isn't going to go well. 2y
dabbe Tom reminds me of John Read in Jane Eyre. Maybe he'll grow up to be an alcoholic abuser, too. And the mother is stone cold as well as the house. I sense foreboding times ahead. 2y
mcctrish Jeez Louise what a second chapter 2y
Bookwormjillk I‘m just catching up, and what the heck? 2y
SamAnne Just catching up…a bunch of sociopaths…. 2y
julieclair Oh my! As if just killing the birds wasn‘t enough, he has to torture them too? And the father and uncle just laugh and say he‘s all boy? And even the mother says it‘s okay because they‘re just sparrows and not songbirds? What kind of awful family is this? 2y
AllDebooks What a vile family! 2y
