Summary: In the depths of the dumpster!
Review: I am an avid reader and have read hundreds and hundreds of books in my lifetime. In this time there have only been a handful that i have classified as truly horrible. This is one of them. True that it is a journey of a women against all odds. Well written in the sense of the feeling of being there, yet that doesn't override the disgusting and low self-esteem factor. It portrays largers women as pigs and 'beached whales'. Truely horrible to the fact that i couldn't read it at points and had to put it away. I make it a habit to never leave a book unfinished so i can i give it an honest review, and i did finally finish this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Six Stars
Review: Wow. Absolutely stunned at some points, and depressed at others. I was surprisingly, proud of Delores at the end. An amazing job at capturing this woman's feelings. Fabulous job of demonstrating how often we fail to recognize our parents as humans until it's too late, and the emotional scars that late realization can leave on our souls. Despite my watery eyes, I would urge my friends to read She's Come Undone. Beautiful job, Mr. Lamb.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Powerful
Review: Opening up this book I was so moved that I felt like Dolores. Moved more then any book out there. When a man can write a story about a woman in such detail that I could not believe that he wrote this. Wally Lamb is one of the most tallented writers out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST BOOK
Review: It usually takes me months to get through a book, but i finnished this one in 2 days. No I didnt read it because Oprah said it was good. Oprah's a sap and people shouldnt read books just because she liked them. All of the characters in the book were 3D. You grew attached to them. The children in the story were so realistically cruel that I almost cried.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best Books I've ever read!
Review: This book is a page turner. A modern shero for modern times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Officially Number 1!
Review: She's Come Undone is officially one of my most favorite books. It's the only book that I have felt the urge to read and reread, very well written and holds an incredibly inspiring message. Delores Price becomes more than just a character in a story. She becomes true and real, and you can't help but strain your eyes at 3am to read the next chapter and the next. There are often times when I found myself flipping to the front cover to make sure that a man really wrote this awesome story. Definitely a 5 star novel!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You can't put it down!!
Review: This book kept my attention from page one to the very end. There was always something happening, good and bad. From struggling with her weight to relationships, marriage, moving, etc. Dolores is a real trooper! She never gives up on herself.

This is a MUST READ!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: how could u not love this book
Review: this was an amazing story and i can't believe it was written by a man! Although I found Dolores quite irritating at times, it was very realistic because im sure anyone who would go through what she had to would be a bit messed up! i recommend this book for people who would usually have trouble getting into a story, because i found that i couldnt put it down!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Begins slow ...but gets better
Review: I would actually give this book between three and a half and four stars. What I found most intriguing was that this was written by a man. Lamb did an excellent job portraying the thoughts and feelings of a woman who had been under much emotional distress.

I must admit that after reading the first chapter I wanted to quit. It didn't captivate me like I had hoped. But I urged on for several more chapters and finally the story began to take shape.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: When WASN'T she undone?
Review: I am a big reader, and when I picked this up I expected it to be a beautifully written, charming story... considering how captivated I am with Oprah. However the characters in this novel have all gone to hell in back. Without a loveable character in the bunch, and most of them with broken, miserable lives it just leaves you with a feeling of remorse for the entire human race! Looking at other reviews written by others on this same page, they refer to this book as 'real', and 'tells it like it is'. Now that's down right depressing! This book is definetly different... but for me, that 'different is not the kind I prefer, or consider interesting. Go ahead and read it, just know that it's not a happy, fun, book. If I would compare it to another book I've read I'd have to say it would be another Oprah Books club book, "What looks like crazy on an ordinary day". Come on Oprah, enough of the downers.
