Book Reviews of She's Come Undone (Oprah's Book Club)
Book Review: Another Awful Oprah Selection...
Summary: 2 Stars
I would say this is the worst book I've ever read, but that wouldn't be true, so I did give it two stars even though I was itching to give it one.
If you like books about the people who never fit in, are kind of mean, are clinically depressed, have f---ed up families, who are clueless about why their lives are as awful as they are, or truly enjoyed the Confederacy of Dunces...then this is the book for you.
The author took way way way (did I say way) too much time adding in tons of details, making the character's life more and more pathetic. This book could have been half as long as it was. And what is with the Whales? Other than a metephor for unhappy fat people which seems trite?
I'm not sure if I'm glad or annoyed that at least there was a happy ending to this tale. I did not feel that the character went through real growth, but instead just grew fed up. Maybe that's considered growth.
There were only two highlights for me in this book. When she finds him cheating and eating a hotdog and when she breaks up with him at Burger King. Other than that I felt that reading this book was just a waste of time.
