Title: I've read better
Product review: A friend of mine advised me not to read this book, but I was curious as to what all of the hoopla was about so I picked it up. Unfortunately, I should have listened to my friend's advice. Dolores irritated me. She is a character that you want to try to love, but her actions make that impossible. True, she had a terrible childhood which haunts her throughout her life, but I never really connected with her. The one thing I did find it interesting was the fact that the novel was written by a man. I'm curious as to why Wally Lamb chose to write a story from a woman's point of view, but he writes about an overweight woman at that. I'm surprised Oprah has this book in her club--when is she going to discover The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood?
