Title: Page-turner Nonetheless Disappointing
Product review: Competent writing and a titilating premise (raped girl gets obese) crumble into an unrealistic ending.What is this - an infomercial for psychological therapy? Lamb creates a fascinating protagonist with a complicated life, then sends her to an unlikely cure. Life after mental institutionalization just ain't like this.It's a cinderella story with plenty of interesting details, but the denouement is an enormous let-down.Munching my way through this fat best-seller was like Dolores (the narrator) gorging herself on a whole, day-old cream cake... I couldn't stop myself, but when I got to the end I'd degraded myself for wasting time on it...
