So far She's Come Undone is so good. The main character Dolores, annoys me though because she's so rude and quick to talk back to everyone. She's such a should-not-be-said and I cannot think of another word for it. But anyway not only is hse rude, but I think she's a crybaby in the sense that she cries for the smallest things instead of fighting. When she got picked on in school, instead of trying to tell the bullies to back up, she was secretly getting even. If it were me, I wouldn't try and seek revenge on them, but stop the problems from the get go. By trying to get back at them, she just starts more problems. She should use her sassy mouth to back to them.
I think that in the next chapter or so, something is going to happen with her and Jack. Jack is the new tenet that moved in upstairs with his wife. He's in twenties but he's always in a sense, flirting with her and she's about 12, so as I read, I get a little more afraid trying to figure out what's going to happen to her. Jack seems like the nice type of guy though, because he's tall, handsome and has his own radio talk show. But it's always the ones that don't look suspicious that you should be careful around.
This is a link to an interview with the amazing Wally Lamb, the author of this book. Can you believe that a dude wrote She's Come Undone? It sounds so girlish, I wouldn't think a guy could do that. I think Wally Lamb is becoming an inspiration to me because he is such a great author since I'm into writing, English and books. Anyway here's the link.
Hey check it out:

I know that it's kind of lame to leave a comment on your own blog, but still... WHEN YOU COMMENT PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE INTERVIEW. I think he is so weird in a cool way because he views his characters like children or interesting people that live in his mind and he goes to observe all the time. I really like Wally Lamb. I wish he'd write more.
I think it is interesting that he is into his writing. But, I don't agree with him that he isn't in control of what happens. Just think about it: you are the one writing the book. You ARE in control of what happens. The characters are NOT real. I like how your blog is colorful and different than the others, but it does get difficult to read sometimes. As always, great job!
