This book is very long and once you get past the beginning, it becomes very interesting. It is about twin brothers, one who is mentally disturbed and the other who just struggles with life trying to cope with his brother's problems. It leads you through a winding road of psychological hardship on both men and how one brother uses his other brother's illness to help himself.

This is a great read. If you have ever had to deal with loss and redemption (some day you will) this is a gratifying sage to id with. Its a large book but keeps you interested and turning one more page before you lay it down.

One of my all time favorite books. Starts out kind of slow, but if you hang in there, you will be very pleased. It is an epic tale, filled with emotion, inspiration, heartbreak...all the elements you could ever want in a book.

This book was touted as "the best book I've ever read" by several people I know, so maybe I went into it with expectations that were too high, but I can't say I loved this book. It was rather tedious to read at times, as I found the narrator to be selfish and a little unlikeable, and some of the twists to be unrealistic, but I can't say I hated it. Some parts really reached out to me and kept me interested, so in the end I liked the book, but didn't love it.

If I were to ever write a book, this is the one I wish I had written. A modern day classic. Absolutely epic. I don't think I can praise this one enough.

I loved Wally Lamb's book She's Come Undone so I decided to try another book by him and that's how I came across I Know This Much Is True. It was really, really long. The story dragged on and on at times. I would have given this book 4 or 5 stars if Lamb would have edited out 400+ pages which would have been very easy for him to do. The content would not have been affected at all.
