Baby Teeth A Novel Zoje Stage 9781250170750 Books Reviews

I loved this book! I don’t know any Mom’s that haven’t let that loving mask slip when being tested by their child, especially when a child is deliberately being irritating. It was interesting to see it from the child’s point of view, though this child was a bad combination of smart and vindictive. I hope there is another one after Hanna fakes her way out of the school.
Review contains spoilers.

I felt I had read a similar story before, and I have. But I was more bothered by the abrupt ending. It was as if the author copied the plot but couldn't find a unique ending. I literally went back thinking I had skipped pages.
Wow! What a book!

The GOOD
1. I could not put this book down. The story was so totally engrossing, I read it in one day...in between chores and a million other activities.

2. As an RN, I was terribly impressed by the author's familiarity and expertise of Crohn's disease. Her medical knowledge was impressive, although I'm still not entirely certain what role the disease actually played in the book. I kept waiting for it to become clear, but it never really did. It seemed more educational than entertaining.

3. While I'd ultimately classify this more as a family drama than a thriller, the characters were so well fleshed out, they felt very real. As a homeschooling mother myself, I could empathize with Suzette's frustrations.

The BAD
1. The writing was odd. There were periods and capital letters all throughout the story where there simply shouldn't be. An example--“So … We have to make things better. Between us. I’m sorry if I pushed you too fast. I wish you could understand. School, and how important it is. If we’re together so much and I’m teaching you at home … And what you really need is other people." (page 225 on )

There are so many grammatical errors in those few sentences! It was terribly distracting, and it happened again and again throughout the novel.

2. I realize Hanna was supposed to be a 7-year old genius, but her thoughts, and those of her mother, were indistinguishable. Had the chapter headings not identified whose perspective I was reading, I wouldn't have been able to tell. No 7-year old, genius or otherwise, has thought processes like those Hanna was having. Her voice was that of a worldly adult. It was my one main gripe about Baby Teeth.

3. Alex's inability to see Hanna for what she truly was was beyond annoying. I honestly felt sorry for Suzette throughout 90% of the book, having to deal with a husband who disregarded her at every turn, and allowed Hanna to undermine her authority. He was a very weak man.

The UGLY
1. There is only one point to be made in this category, but I feel it encompasses the essence of the story.

For the most part, I found Suzette to be a sympathetic character--she's a woman dealing with a chronic (and potentially body deforming) illness, a husband who disregards and undermines everything she says, a child who hates everything about her and wants to eliminate her from their family, and a career put on the back burner. Yet, there is a sense throughout the novel that Suzette's deepest, darkest, wholeheartedly negative feelings about her child, and motherhood, were made very clear to Hanna during her formative years. Children are very intuitive and can easily pick up on those energies.

The conclusion was shocking...at least to the mother in me, but it was very, very well done.

And can we just talk about the amazing book cover and even more amazing title for a minute? Because they're both pure perfection.

4.25 well-earned stars!
Last night I watched a remake of The Bad Seed on Lifetime TV. About 30 minutes into the movie, I rolled my eyes at how shallow the plot was and turned it off. This afternoon I began reading Baby Teeth and couldn’t believe how similar the plot was to the movie, The Bad Seed, and how equally terrible it was! There is nothing original about this timeworn story about a demonic child who is out to get rid of her mother in order to have Daddy all to herself! I could kick myself for falling victim to those reviews that guaranteed a shocking twist at the end of the story - spoiler alert...there was none. This book was compared to Gone Girl but is absolutely nothing like it; the characters are so underdeveloped that I found myself skipping to the end after reading only 4 chapters. The ending was not only predictable, but frustrating because the reader gets the idea that there could be a sequel! Now that would be my worst nightmare!
A not so bright mom who doesn't think to use the record feature on her phone, and a not so smart dad who can't see what's going on. And a no-ending ending.
I’ll never forget reading Lionel Shriver’s, “We Need to Talk About Kevin”, when it debuted in 2003. I’d never read anything like it, and I was at once enthralled and revolted. I also became forevermore enamored of the “unreliable narrator”, and seek them out wherever I can. “Baby Teeth”, the debut by Zoje Stage, has been widely compared to Shriver’s novel, due to the subject matter, but there the similarities end.

Is seven year old Hanna a sociopath, psychopath, psychotic, neurotic, or possessed? Are her parents clueless, self-involved, and delusional? It’s easy to keep reading to try to find out, but it feels like so much “empty calories”.

“Baby Teeth” has been widely hyped, and I kept waiting for a bombshell, but there isn’t one. It describes an Electra Complex on steroids, and none of the main characters are remotely likeable or sympathetic. It does address mental illness eventually, in a no-nonsense and practical way that is helpful for general awareness, and in that there is a public service done here.
Well, here's a kid who brings out the worst in her parents. I read this book in one uninterrupted go and then deleted it so it wouldn't haunt my ipad. the mother and daughter main characters are well developed and believeable, and it's fascinating to understand, along with the mom, the gradual dawning of this kid's psychosis/sociopathy...or whatever her problem is.
