Title: Hard to get through
Product review: While I think Wally Lamb is a great writer, I also think he tends to overwrite, and in turn his books are much longer than they need to be. I had difficulty getting through this book and that doesn't happen to me a lot. The book grabbed me in the beginning, however it didn't take long for me to lose interest. The story was predictable, and the main character made me start hating her less than half way through the story. It's hard to empathize with someone so hateful, and with really no redeeming qualities at all. I understand self-loathing and personal conflict, but Dolores took this to a new high. I want to like the protagonists in the stories I read, and in this one, I just couldn't.
