Thomas Hibbs on Mystic River on National Review Online

Whoa...Thomas Hibbs agrees with the Lady Macbeth like statements of Annabeth? What the heck is he thinking?

Also, I checked out the end of the book, and the book isn't ambiguous about whether Jimmy should be punished. I'm not sure if Sean's pointed finger is supposed to portray that message. Maybe I'll have to see it again, but I don't know if I can, just too disturbing.
