![]() ![]() ![]() In the movie, Malorie is portrayed as a bold and strong woman who’s trying to navigate the river – much like she is in the movie. It’s interesting to watch the movie first and then read the book to discern the differences between the two. There is the plot of Malorie on the river trying to row the 20 odd miles to ‘freedom’, and then you have Malorie in the house – doing her best to survive in these strange times. Malorie – much like the movie, is the stories central character – and there are two plots to follow effectively. I’m beginning to discern my favoured style of Audible ‘horror’ book – and it’s straightforward apocalyptic horror – as ‘Bird Box’ is. The book in terms of characters has only several that you need to be aware of – which makes it much simpler than ‘The Way Of Kings’ – a fantasy book I’ve purchased that I have no idea if I’m ever going to get through.

This book brings out so much of the craziness of life, or the chaos. The pettiness, the karma, the resentment. Woman problems written by someone who is not a woman but nailed even so. We first meet Dolores as a happy, care-free child, but when her father leaves Dolores and her mother unexpectedly her life becomes a downward spiral of anger and depression. This book isn't perfect, its characters are not perfect, nothing here is perfect, it's an ugly gaping mess coming undone. Shes Come Undone follows Dolores and her struggles with health and behavior problems from childhood, through adolescence and into adulthood. It's messy, it's horrible, it's a book I thoroughly enjoyed because each kick was her rolling downhill, she'd hit the bottom and we'd have her kicked again, hemorrhoid cream from rough anal sex, crying all night and hating her reflection, people dying, her dreams gone, she sank and sank and sank until she floated. Her life is rife with bad sex, bad partners, obesity, abuse, loss, and her wondering how life can be any more shit, then slowly climbing back within the last chapter. She's a flawed woman, terribly flawed, her situations and experiences are awful and depressing, this book in general is awful and depressing.ĭolores is our main character, the book has us follow her from age four to forty.
