I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb
5.0
It's a very rare thing for me to come to the end of a 900 page novel without the feeling of "enough is enough" and more than ready to finally leave it and move on to something else.
This novel is the best I had read that year; I simply did not want it to end. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it was that kept me glued to the pages, was it the characters? the story line?
I think it was Lamb's compulsive readability. He's one of those talents that can write about nothing and still keep you whipping through the pages. Luckily, this is not about nothing; it's about a pair of identical twins, one of whom is a paranoid schizophrenic.
Don't let the size of this novel daunt you. You will whip through this and be sorry when it's over. I can't wait for Wally Lamb's next novel.
