Title: Enjoyed by a Skeptic of Modern Literature
Product review: I don't usually enjoy modern books by writers who have not earned a place in the cannon of 20th Century literature, but Wally Lamb seemed to be on his way there with this book (however, I did not enjoy I Know This Much is True nearly as much).I agree with other reviewers that I could not believe that this book was written by a man. Lamb has an insight into women and I loved the depth of the characters, and yet I never once had to struggle through droll paragraphs of narrative. Lamb does a good job of "showing and not telling" throughout the novel.What kept me from giving this book five stars is that I was so disappointed with I Know This Much is True, which might not be fair to Lamb, but having read She's Come Undone first, I expected more from Lamb. This book is an entertaining and thought-provoking read.
