Amazon.com Review:
Oprah Book Club® Selection, January 1997: "Mine is a story of craving; an unreliable account of lusts and troubles that began, somehow, in 1956 on the day our free television was delivered." So begins the story of Dolores Price, the unconventional heroine of Wally Lamb's She's Come Undone. Dolores is a class-A emotional basket case, and why shouldn't she be? She's suffered almost every abuse and familial travesty that exists: Her father is a violent, philandering liar; her mother has the mental and emotional consistency of Jell-O; and the men in her life are probably the gender's most loathsome creatures. But Dolores is no quitter; she battles her woes with a sense of self-indulgence and gluttony rivaled only by Henry VIII. Hers is a dysfunctional Wonder Years, where growing up in the golden era was anything but ideal. While most kids her age were dealing with the monumental importance of the latest Beatles single and how college turned an older sibling into a long-haired hippie, Dolores was grappling with such issues as divorce, rape, and mental illness. Whether you're disgusted by her antics or moved by her pathetic ploys, you'll be drawn into Dolores's warped, hilarious, Mallomar-munching world.
Product Description:
Overweight and sensitive Dolores Price grows from painful childhood, through excruciating adolescence, to lonely adulthood, experiencing the heartache of being a misfit in a confusing world.

I believe the character Deloris from the book "She Comes Undone" by Wally Lamb is someone most people can relate to on one level or another. Does it undermine the moral fabric of a society in way? That's a question each one of us may have to ask ourselves. Deloris, by hook or by crook, gets involved with every deadly sin in one form or another. You just hopes no one in the real world will have to face these hardships.
By the way, I see from reading the reviews on this site some people have ... Read More
Rating: - A Strangely Fantastic Read
This book was wonderfully complex and embarrassingly painful at times. I was previously reading 'The Hour I First Believed' by Lamb and heard that this book was more captivating. I have not yet finished reading 'The Hour..." but I think they may be right. This book is so much more multidimensional and rich with personality. Each thought and feeling that goes through Dolores' mind is communicated in this book. At first I felt a little uncomfortable being that close to someone else's deepest most ... Read More
Rating: - One of my most-favorite books
I keep very few fiction books, prefering to pass them along either by giving to fellow readers, selling at yard sales or donating to charities. This one has been on my bookshelf for so long now I can't remember.
I loved this story enough to re-read it several times (another thing I do rarely).
One of my favorite lines in the book is "My whole life still hurts." (I may be misquoting--recently loaned the book to my daughter!) But, that's the idea, and if you've lived through ... Read More
Rating: - Fascinating Book
Although this women Delores in this book "She Comes Undone" has so many problems in her life we somehow relate to her on some level. She has a troubled life as a child, becomes an obese adult, attempts suicide during her first semester in college than spend several years in a mental institution. All these disasters somehow make for an interesting book. I think people relate to this character Delores because they have similar problems finding something good in their life. This book ties in to another book ... Read More
Rating: - She's come undone
This was a great book. I looked a couple to times to make sure it was a male author. Really could relate with this woman's struggle for her own identity.
