    The book is a great read. It is a fat book but worth the effort. It is not too hard to read at all. It's a bout twin brothers, and one has schizophrenia. I highly recomend it.

    I've wanted to pick up this book for a while. I read She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb a few years ago, and it quickly became one of my favorite books. He's such an incredible writer.

    I have two copies; one mine and one my fiancees. I will send you my copy when I am done reading it if you like. I like giving books.

    And I love receiving books. I'd hate to put you out though. Have you read "She's Come Undone"? It really is incredible. I read a lot, but it's so rare to find a book that I never want to end, and that's how it was. I was seriously sad when it was over.

    I very much enjoyed this book, considering its size I thought there would be some long boring parts I would have to drudge through.

    I have only read a few chapter's of this book at my boyfriend's house and I really enjoyed it. I must ask his mommy if I can borrow it.

    She's Come Undone and I Know This Much is True are both breathtaking. However, until you've read The Hour I First Believed, don't be in a rush to choose a favourite! I had to re-read the last chapter because the tears were in the way lol it was beautiful. I love, love, love Wally Lamb. When I first read She's Come Undone (back in high school) I was totally convinced Wally Lamb was a woman writing under an alias - I couldn't believe a man could have so much insight into a teenage girl's heart and mind ... and hormones.
