Gee, d’you think disturbed Rhoda’s gonna murder the moronic pedo janitor to keep herself safe, considering she’s killed before for much less?! It’s not just obvious, it’s tedious as it takes the entire book for Rhoda to get around to something so predictable. After the opening murder, a moronic pedo janitor taunts Rhoda that he knows she killed that kid and that he’s gonna blackmail her. There’s nothing worse than waiting for the characters in the story to catch up to what the reader already knows, especially when that’s all that’s going on! There’s zero tension, it’s just duller than dull. Most of the book is spent in the company of Rhoda’s insufferable mother, Christine, a prime candidate for the most stupid, gormless twit in all literature, who putters about wringing her hands wondering if her kid’s evil enough to kill. Except William March was as unimaginative a storyteller as he was incompetent a writer so does nothing with the concept beyond the initial murder. The “pscyho kid that kills” premise might’ve been fun had there been anything more to The Bad Seed than that. Sorry, just trying to wrangle my brain to review this garbage semi-coherently!Īwful, just awful. Could she…? DUuuuuuUUUUuuuuuhhhhh… waaaaaaaaaaaauUUGHghhhhhh! Muauarrrhghhhh! Wap wap waaaaaaap. Everyone who pisses off creepy 8 year old Rhoda dies – she couldn’t be murdering them.
