Great Book
I am a fifteen year old from Ft.Myers Florida. I was told by a teacher that I would have to read a book as part of my semester grade. Which I was extremely upset about due to the fact that I hate reading, or should I say hated reading. I went and looked at my families book collection and picked up I know this much is true by Wally Lamb. My mother advised me not to read it, for she was positive it would upset me. I read a page, and then another and found the book as addicting as cigarettes. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me find a joy in something so dear. Reading. I would love to thank Mr. Lamb in person someday for making me look at everything in a whole new light. I am looking everywhere to buy a Shiva the Destroyer of my own, I wish Doc Patel lived around here so I could easily obtain one. When I finished the book I didn't know what to do, I started crying hysterically because I no longer could have my daily dose of reality. My parents couldn't believe how much I enjoyed the book they are besides themselves with happiness that now I read for pleasure, and so am I. I am sorry for taking up so much of your time, but I just had to let you know. Julia

Incredible Novel
I think this book is a must read and have suggested it to anyone who loves to read. While the length may appear daunting, it really is a fast read and not nearly as depressing as She's Come Undone. I found the relationship between the brothers very moving. I read this book 5 or 6 years ago and still think about it at times. I highly recommend finding the time to read it!
