I'm struggling with my feelings about Delores Claiborne. I devoured this book in two days time, and have to admit my mother was right when she insisted I read it. Delores is authentic and so richly written (and deliciously flawed). It's unbelievable. This book took a hard subject and made you really look at it, and live it. There were parts that made me chuckle, and parts that made me mad. I LOVED the first person narration-and just want MORE of Delores and her life. I'd give this book more stars if it weren't so damn hard on the heart. That being said, Stephen King delivers in every sense & I am so glad I've finally read this amazing book.
