Search - She's Come Undone

Unbelievable author; disturbing, funny, heartbreaking -- how this author gets into the head of an adolescent girl, I don't know. A must read.

This is, hands-down, my favorite book ever! Told in first person, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel like you REALLY know Dolores and everyone she encounters. Wally Lamb has an amazing way of writing so you can see, feel, taste, smell the environment! It's painful, it's heart-wrenching, it's uplifting...it's just one of the best books I've ever read.

As much as I LOVE PBS, you will never see this book posted by me - I love it too much!

I loved this so much I read this multiple times. Told in first person, Dolores Price (the main character) is so heartbreaking and believable I had to keep looking at the cover to remind myself that a man wrote this book. That's how convincing the writer is. You will love this book!

This was a surprising book, wrote in the person of a girl from childhood to adulthood, but by a man. I wondered several times during reading how he got into the head of a female! I enjoyed this book, but many times I did not like the heroine, nor her husband and mother and grandmother. Maybe that makes it true to life but all in all it was a good book.

The book is so different that it is hard to think of it in a class with other books. It is quite blunt in a forward way. The girl that is the theme, starts in her childhood and is shown from her perspective which is really skewed. She has so much emotional baggage and is very much always upset. She gets pretty much straightened out in an institution. Every time she trusts someone and tries to get on her feet they let her down, again. Strange little book, but I am glad I read it.

This was the first book by Wally Lamb I read. It was so sad, sometimes hard to read and I almost felt dirty by the end. But I think that's what makes a book so wonderful...when it draws you in and touches all those things you weren't expecting. Gread read.
