Last fall I purchased the Wally Lamb book, She's Come Undone, at a book sale. I liked it so much that I decided to read another one of his books. I borrowed, I Know This Much Is True, from a friend. GREAT BOOK!!!! This author is a brilliant story teller. Very creative. Not a dull page in the book. I now have the other two books he wrote which I definately plan to read very soon!!

What I enjoy most about this book is that the characters are not absolutely likable. In fact, I often find myself siding against them, or at the very least disagreeing with their choices and thought processes. The characters are anything but one-sided.
