I really wanted to love this book. It’s an interesting format, a fun character, but the story felt a little drawn out and underdeveloped.

dolores claiborne is one of the few books i have cried whilst reading, and in my opinion is an example of stephen king’s more complex and well-written female characters. dolores claiborne may be my favourite stephen king character! i could rant about dolores for centuries, you will definitely align with her, especially if you are a mother.

Emotional and gut wrenching, this is a great short novel for King fans. I wouldn’t rec it as a first King read though.
