I read this for the first time in an undergraduate literature class. It was moving then and it's moving now.

Ultimately a difficult read on behalf of its content, but really rewarding at the end. I enjoyed it, though it followed a very similar trajectory to the other Wally Lamb novel I've read: 'This Much I Know is True' which I enjoyed a little bit more.

It might be the best book I’ve ever read. I was completely enthralled on every page.

I did not hate this book, but I was made amazingly unhappy by this book. It may have absurd points for some and uplifting points for others, but there is no denying that She's Come Undone followed the life of Dolores Price as she realized one utterly disheartening milestone after another: parental divorce, absent father, peer ridicule, abusive relationships -- and that's just what I'm listing here; there were MORE! I was officially depressed the entire time I read this book; consider yourself warned...

I think i would've liked the book better evenvthough it was all dark, if the writing was better.
But while reading it was like reading an information dump.
