Kathy answers “After reading "She's Come Undone" and "I...”

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!

I found myself disliking Annie, and there it was, I was emotionally involved in the book. I'm close to the end, some things are slightly surprising me, which I like, and I'm glad I didn't give up on the book since it did get better and I am very curious to find out what happens by the end. This was tough to read until about halfway through, I'm no expert so I can't comment as to what should or shouldn't have been left out. A few geographical errors, which was a little annoying since Lamb flagrantly inserted all kinds of geographical markers and places and names of places, which annoyed me when he got it wrong, I thought he worked at UConn at one point.(less)
