I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb (2003, Paperback, Reprint)

Once I started reading this book it was hard to put it down. This book had me hooked from the very beginning. I started to list it on ebay and was reading the back for my description, the next thing I knew I was on page 83! If you only have time to read one book then this is a good choice. Its a big book with lots of pages but even so, I did not want it to end and was trying to read slower to make it last longer when I got toward the end. I see a couple people say it should have been scaled down to less pages but it is great just the way it is. Nothing should be taken out. It has several different things going on quite a few people in it but it is so easy to follow and understand. Its almost as if you know them or as if they are distant relatives. It also lets you see a little of what the life of a schizophrenic is really like without actually have to study about it. This book get a thumbs up from me!
