Rating:  Summary: Does not live up to the hype! Review: People kept telling me that I had to read this book. Finally, I gave in to pressure and bought it.While it was an interesting story, most of the characters were awful! There was not one character I actually cared about through the entire book. Dolores was simply a dysfunctional baby! Quite frankly, I just wanted to slap her and tell her to shut up and stop whining. Her mother was useless. Her grandmother was a racist (and was useless). Mr. Lamb should have spent a little more effort on character development.
Rating:  Summary: HOOORAY FOR OPRAH Review: Howdy. My name is Cletus and I live down on the farm in Alabammy. I done never read no books before. I ain't much for the written word, see. But my hero Oprah told me to read this here book, and I done so, and it done changed my life for the better. Yessiree, I could just sit out on the porch and pet ol' Scooter (that there's my hound dog, see) and just read this book till the dinner bell done rung. I hereby recommend this here extry special novel for all of y'all that ain't got round to readin' it just yet. Take it from your pals Cletus and Oprah: y'all willn't be sorry.
Rating:  Summary: Great Story Review: I read this book about two years ago - but can honestly say that the images, characters, and plot have stayed with me. This is a remarkable book - one of the best I have ever read!
Rating:  Summary: Very entertaining and uplifting novel!! Review: "She's Come Undone" is a great novel. Just when you think Dolores' life couldn't be worse, Lamb really outsmarts the reader with a new compelling, tramautic and detailed disaster. I recommend this book to all those people who are about to give up on life and being happy.
Rating:  Summary: Dolores Price is an unforgettable character Review: If this is not a good book, i don't know what is! This is the most entertaining & compelling read i have had in ages. The right dosage of ethos & drama makes the protagonist a realistic yet surreal figure. Dolores Price is indeed unforgettable.
Rating:  Summary: Couldn't Put It Down! Review: This book was really good. I bought it Friday afternoon and finished it Saturday nite! I got so into it, that Delores' bad attitudes affected me! I would read huge portions of the book and then walk around in a bad mood, because of the "Stuff" going on with Delores! It was weird! I really enjoyed this one!
Rating:  Summary: I loved this book & have passed it on to friends. Review: Lately, I very seldom have time for leisure ready, but once I began this book, I couldn't put it down. Dolores' character illustrates how resilient women are - and by many we're considered the weaker sex, which this book makes crystal clear, we are by far not. I can't believe some people didn't like this book and gave it such negative comments. But I guess everyone is different.
Rating:  Summary: We can all relate to Delores Price! Review: I read this 500 page book in two days! I honestly couldn't put it down. I even caught myself thinking of Delores days after I finished it!
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful!!! Review: I read this book about a year ago, and couldn't put it down. I rarely get through a book that fast. I past it on to all my friends, and every single one of them loved it. We all read it within a few weeks! The story was great, and I've read it twice since then!
Rating:  Summary: Gratuitous sexual assaults -- Enough already! Review: I get so peeved at the way authors use sexual assault as a best-seller formula. Enough hurt woman books! I found this book soooo unbelievable, so madening. Here is a MAN writing about periods, masterbation and sexual assault. I've got to say, having experienced all three, what Lamb writes isnt' even close to the truth. I'm tired of formula hurt-woman books: 1) she gets her period all over the place, 2) endless masterbation to "wet underpants," and 3) let's not forget to throw in there getting assaulted sexually by someone she knows. Could we have a best seller without it??! "Poor girl. Look at her. What a good book." Argh! Enough! I actually chucked the book across the room. Why must I be subjected to this stuff in everything I read these days? How insensitve!! Popular literature seems to involve nothing else these days. Give me a break. Have we lost all imagination?
