Helene asked this question about We Are Water:
After reading "She's Come Undone" and "I Know This Much is True" and totally loving them both, I was really looking forward to diving into "We Are Water". Imagine my surprise to find that i was totally bored by the writing style and the shallow characters. I am only 8% into the book... the question I have is... does it get better or should I just dump it for something else. HELP!

Maybe I read too fast the first time, but the second reading allowed me to better understand the character developments and the many flashbacks. I also found it very interesting that Wally Lamb lived in Norwich CT during the flood of 1963, where there was a car full of family members that overturned with the mother dying. I'm willing to bet the real persons involved in the flood didn't like Mr. Lamb's fictional adaptation, unless the town really had a local pedophile.(less)
