by Katrina Trapp The Best Book I've Ever Read
This was the best book I have ever read. I carried this large book with me every where I went. I could not put it down. Thank you for the book Wally I am waiting for your next one. Thanks again.

by Barbara Martin Absolutely Fascinating
Absolutely fascinating to see the reactions to mental illness and to see how the brother is driven/destined to be his brother's keeper and give up the role. Extremely realistic, moving, though-provoking.

After Lamb's first book, "She's Come Undone", I thought the second book would never measure up. Well, he did it again - and even better! I can't put it down and don't want it to end... If he can do this twice, then surely his next will be wonderful!

As a rule I tend not to cry in books, but this was the first to make me. This book is amazing, that is all I can think of to describe it. I thought at first that it was because I'm at the perfect stage in my life to read it BUT I came to the conclusion that this man is not only an awfully talented writer but researcher as well. He understands people like no other writer I've ever experienced. Wally Lamb has inspired me to continue writing.

Dear Wally Lamb. I read both your books because I saw that they were on Oprah. I was deeply touched and moved by your novels because they reflect my life so much!!! I was wondering where you get the inspirations for your novels? Have you been listening into my conversations with my counselor? I love your books and I hope that you continue to write more novels as they provide inspiration to keep on living as your books seem to reflect my life so well. Thank you for listening to my opinion and have a wonderful day.

I have just finished the reading what was possibly the best book that I have ever read! Although I was at first intimidated by its size I was captured by the first paragraph and I held on until the end. This book did what so many others fail to do. Many authors are able to have insight into the human psyche but none that I've experienced so much as in I Know This Much is True. Every character, especially Dominick, is 3 dimensional. They became real to me in the days that I read the book. I am sure that they will stay with me always. The book was very satisfying and surprisingly had a well-earned "happy ending". I must also comment on the craft and skill of Mr. Lamb who like and Indian woman at a loom, made many individual threads into a beautiful masterpiece. The book flowed and even taught me lessons in life. I recommend this book to any and everyone! Read it right away! You'll look at it and say that you don't have time--but as you read--you'll find yourself making time to find out what happens next! Now my review is proportionately as long as the book! I apologize but give thanks again to Mr. Lamb for the experience.
A bold, mesmerizing novel about the woman known as "Typhoid Mary," the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever in the burgeoning metropolis of early twentieth century New York.
