Title: Delores is memorable, the story itself is too overdone
Product review: This is a page turner for sure - but that does not equate to great writing my any means. Yes, the story has lots of unexpected twists and turns, but then it has several overly predictable "oh-I-can't-believe-he-just-went-there" moments.You become quite fond of Dolores, the main character - and you cheer for her on and off. However, there is such an overwhelming artificial grittyness to her, which makes her little more than the tired stereotype of the "self-destructing fat girl".Furthermore, the "in-your-face-sybmbolism" such as the beached whale scenario is so cheesy it almost hurts...Overall, a decent book for the beach or the stair master - but great literature it is not.
