From Amazon.com

Oprah Book Club® Selection, January 1997: "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." So begins the story of Dolores Price, the unconventional heroine of Wally Lamb's She's Come Undone. Dolores is a class-A emotional basket case, and why shouldn't she be? She's suffered almost every abuse and familial travesty that exists: Her father is a violent, philandering liar; her mother has the mental and emotional consistency of Jell-O; and the men in her life are probably the gender's most loathsome creatures. But Dolores is no quitter; she battles her woes with a sense of self-indulgence and gluttony rivaled only by Henry VIII. Hers is a dysfunctional Wonder Years, where growing up in the golden era was anything but ideal. While most kids her age were dealing with the monumental importance of the latest Beatles single and how college turned an older sibling into a long-haired hippie, Dolores was grappling with such issues as divorce, rape, and mental illness. Whether you're disgusted by her antics or moved by her pathetic ploys, you'll be drawn into Dolores's warped, hilarious, Mallomar-munching world. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


From Publishers Weekly

In this engaging first novel, narrator Dolores Price recounts her life story from age four to age 40; her relentless parade of disasters makes for interesting reading.

4.0étoiles sur 5 What a good read, Déc 23 2008

This review is from: She's Come Undone (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read this book over and over. I love it. It was therapeutic. I decided to post my own review as reading the other reviews, one made me angry. This writer did not throw 'whatever thing that was bad that could possibly happen' in. Life, has bad things happen. Over and over and over. I have felt like the main character all too often. I gave this four out of five stars for two reasons: 1. you can tell in some parts the thoughts are coming from a man, Wally Lamb, not a woman, like me. 2. the happy ending happened way too fast for me!

This review is from: She's Come Undone (Mass Market Paperback)
Our book club recently read three great, great books, one of which was SHE'S COME UNDONE. The other two were LIFE OF PI and Jackson McCrae's CHILDREN'S CORNER. I was so impressed with Oprah's other recommendations; I had to try this one, despite the cover. It was definitely worth it. Wally Lamb writes a humorous, poignant story, but what I appreciated the most was that he never cut his heroine any slack. He never cheated the story on her behalf. When she was good, she was realistically good, and when she was bad, she was just as real, at times horrid. I must admit I really hated her at one point, when she did something I could not excuse, whatever her reasons. But I never stopped loving her, or rooting for her; I even catch myself wondering how she's doing now. The book does more than tug at your heartstrings, though. Lamb has crafted a artful work that challenges as it entertains.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Handle Like Hendrix reviews She's Come Undone, Jui 22 2009

This review is from: She's Come Undone (Mass Market Paperback)
First of all, I love coming of age stories that progress into the adult life.

This book was interesting and intriguing and I was always wondering what would happen next in Dolores'life.

The only thing I vaguely didn't like (and I can't even really blame the author) was that it took awile, for me atleast, to get to know Dolores and figure out why her story was one to tell. But it definatly was.

SHE'S COME UNDONE deals with controversial topics such as suicide, rape, and homosexuality.

This book was very well written and Lamb wrote in the voice of a female very convincingly. I never really hated Dolores though I never really liked her either, she did some things that I do not agree with. Despite all that, I could somehow relate to her.

My favorite character was Mr.Pucci. He just seemed really nice, sweet, and supportive.

SHE'S COME UNDONE is a story of madness but also of learning. I truly enjoyed this book as much as a person could as a book dealing with this kind of subject matter.
