Well, it's not historical, but, in my opinion, I know this much is true by Wally Lamb is well worth the time spent with it. It took me several attempts to get past the events of the first chapter, but I was so glad I did.

36. I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb A fascinating book, one that I absolutely couldn't put down, and one that made me cry like a little girl several times. I can't give it an unreserved five stars like many seem to, though. The story is really neatly tied in at the end, and while I'm ...

My 6 year old son adores all the Bel Mooney books: It's Not Fair! Why Me? Why Not? I Don't Want to! I Know! I Can't Find It! etc.. (You get the picture.) They are great because they allow him to understand and laugh at himself. I read them to him at first but he tackles them ...

I liked She's Come Undone when I read it years ago, but it is a bit melodramatic. I recently read I Know This Much is True by Lamb, though and thought it was fantastic. Just thought I would throw that out there...

... I am finding that the way in which the book is narrated bothers me a bit. So, reluctantly, I've put it down, and picked up I Know This Much Is True.

Yeah, it's interesting how opinions of books change over time ... I might try out I Know This Much Is True sometime ... although right now I have sooooo many books on my reading list that it will probably be a while before I get to it. ;)

I would say that I Know This Much is True is better than She's Come Undone--it doesn't cover nearly so much time, for one thing. The topic was really interesting to me, too. It has been so long since I read She's Come Undone that it is likely that I would have a different opinion of it now. ...

... found it to be pretty boring overall. It's not the worst book I've ever read, but it comes pretty close. I haven't read I Know This Much Is True, and I don't plan to, given what I thought about his other book. ;) Ah well ... to each his/her own. =)

... the right word, because it was very disturbing, but it was a good book I thought. What did you think of it? Have you read I Know This Much is True by the same author? That was a great book, too. I am impressed that he can make such long books so interesting and good.

#164 - Wally Lamb is a fabulous writer - I recently read I Know This Much Is True and have She's Come Undone on my pile TBR later this month. Why didn't Lamb write more books?!?!??!

I know This Much is True by Wally Lamb. Probably the best book of the last century, written about 1998, I think. I looked at the length and thought, "no way," but started reading and couldn't put it down. Honestly, not ONE page was boring. It just kept going and going, like the energizer ...
