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.

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 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 the best book I've ever read (and that's saying something).

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

Not as good as "I Know This Much is True" but still a very good read. The main charachter is Dolores Price, a morbidly obese woman, who transforms her life and body...she is a funny heroine. A good read.

This book changed my life.

Great story...troubling and a page turner at the same time. Prepare to feel uncomfortable, but unwilling to put it down!

I expected not to like it -- I was very wrong!

I just couldn't put this book down! The characters are very interesting and likable. The story of this young woman is one I just won't forget!

This is about a girl coming to terms with who she is and finding that person within herself, a very complex novel and written well

Based on recommendation from an online friend, I ordered this book through PBS. It was a most amazing book, truly touched my soul. I had a hard time putting it down once I started reading. Lamb is a compelling writer and goes into such detail about this young girl's life - almost as if it were first person.
I highly recommend She's Come Undone - as well as Lamb's other book, which I'd already ordered through PBS and had to read as soon as I finished this one.

This book was very good - a little sad at some places but very positive overall.

I have read both books by this author and have truly enjoyed them both!!

ok book. I found it at a flea market and had been wanting to read it for a while. I thought it was going to be a little better than it turned out to be but i digres.

Great book about a girl dealing with things that have happened in her live.

I've read this book a couple of times, and more than once had to look at the cover and remind myself a man wrote this book, not Dolores herself. Heartbreaking and believable, I read many of the pages with a lump in my throat.

"Mine is a story of craving: an unreliable account of lusts and troubles that began, somehow, in 1956 on the day our free television was delivered...."

Meet Dolores Price. She's 13, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood goodbye. Beached like a whale in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the Mallmomars, potato chips, and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally rolls into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before really going belly up.

In this extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch a wild ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years. At once a fragile girl and a hard-edged cynic, so tough to love yet so inimitably lovable, Dolores is as poignantly real as our own imperfections. She's Come Undone includes a promise: you will never forget Dolores Price.

This book is an incredible read! Do yourself a favor and get this book :)

Really well written.

I haven't read this book, but it's had numerous positive reviews. The jacket describes the book as a coming-of-age odyssey of Dolores Price, a wise-mouthed thirteen year old.

Wonderful book!
