She's Come Undone by: Wally Lamb

Now I understand why the book was so popular! The author has a way of getting in your head. The girl goes through ups & downs which makes you realize if you were to write a book about yourself you would be suprirse at how many ups and downs you had. She's raped at 13, gains 275lbs. steals letters from her college roomate, has sex with a girl, tries to commit suicide, goes to a half way house, has abortion, gets married, gets a divorce, there is just so much to list but her life continues to move on. It is not a happy ending which keeps it realistic but it is a story of when she was about 4 years old until she is about 40 yrs old. This is a good read, I would recommend it to anyone who is mentally stable. If you are not then this book will probably make you week.

Stranger Beside Me by: Ann Rule

Suprisingly this is my favorite book so far. I had to read it for my book club otherwise I would have never picked this one up. It was mind boggling to read the things he got away with. He was a very lucky man! Don't worry, it's not graffic, anyone can read it. Even though it was so good it was not a fast read. after every couple of pages I had to put the book down to absorb all the information. It is packed full of interesting information, I was writing notes throughout the whole book because I didn't want to forget any of it. Some of the reasons he was able to talk to so many women and get him in his car is that he would walk around with crutches so they would help him out. Also he was a very handsome man. Beware of men with crutches! All I can say is read it! Then come back and post your opinion.
