10 Book Review o“…a warm-blooded, enveloping tale of survival….Dolores has a killer mouth and the guts of a sea lion.” -Kirkus Reviews Kirkus Reviews notices how fascinating Dolores’s mouth flows. She is very outspoken and has a wild language. She uses her vocabulary as a feature of survival as she challenges the world. 3 rd page of the book She’s Come Undone By Wally Lamb
