Ten of the best sentences as book titles

At the Guardian, John Mullan named ten of the best sentences as book titles.

One novel on the list:
We Need to Talk about Kevin, by Lionel Shriver

Why is this title so good? Perhaps because of the grim humour of it. Kevin's mother, Eva, writes letters to her apparently estranged husband about her growing awareness that there is something very wrong with their son.
Read about another novel on the list.

We Need to Talk about Kevin is one of Shirley Henderson's six best books.

--Marshal Zeringue
