Title: A big non-event
Product review: Despite the enormous hype over this book, it was, in my opinion, a huge bore! I did not find the lead character (Dolores) to be interesting or likeable. I found very little in this novel to relate to -- despite the fact that people kept telling me how effective Wally Lamb was writing in the "women's voice" for this novel. Sorry, Wally. When last I checked, I was a woman, and I found very little to relate to or of interest in this novel. Also, despite all of Dolores's life lessons, it was astounding to me to see how she continually made poor choices. I personally did not find this to be enjoyable or interesting reading. Just one big bore that I couldn't wait to put down. This is the 2nd selection from Oprah's book club that I have read. Strike two...
