highly recommended

In this extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch a wild ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years.

Meet Dolores Price. She's 13, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood goodbye. Stranded in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the Mallomars, potato chips, and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally orbits into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before she really goes under.

A quick read despite the 465 pages

The painful story of Dolores Price, a coming-of-age odyssey. Dolores is cynical and sarcastic and imminently lovable. We cheer for her at the same time that we are embarassed by her. An extremely quick read despite the 465 pages.

Don't really get it, but it's not bad

I don't think it's worthy of Oprah's book club, but it wasn't terrible. It's depressing is what it is. One of my friends who read it said she cried at the end, but when I got there I totally didn't get it. You keep thinking things have to improve for the main character, but they don't really. What it has going for it is it's an easy read and engaging.
