I've been quick to read everything lamb writes and usually am engrossed in the characters. This book just didn't make me want to care about any of the characters. There was something about this book that was disappointing. I felt as if it were somehow disjointed and for the first time I was looking forward to the end of one of Lambs novels.

I couldn't figure out where the story was going in the first couple chapters, but in Wally Lamb fashion, everything came together to form a deep and somewhat disturbing, unforgettable novel.

I loved the story but had such a hard time with the horrific acts committed on a child by one of the characters. The details Lamb gives, chapters long, reminded me of news articles where there is a warning to the reader advising of graphic contents. So terribly and horribly disturbing and just unnecessary.

I absolutely adore this man's work. He never disappoints. I find myself reading his work more slowly than usual because I never want the book to end.

I kept waiting for the story to become interesting but it never did. The ending was highly disappointing.

This book has just about every stereotype included in it. Started off ok, but couldn't finish it due to all the melodramatics and judgements being shoved down my throat.

We Are Water explores guilt and responsibility, and family relationships in all their humanity. Although this book takes a while to sink its teeth into you, once it does there is no letting go. Though some of the events eventually seem overly dramatic and unrealistic for one family to have weathered, suspending reality is no problem. The story is compelling, meaningful and intense. Thanks Mr. Lamb

I was so looking forward to this book. The story kept promising some great payoff that it never really delivers. Goes off on various roads that you think may lead to something but never does. It is not another This Much I Know Is True. Having said that, it is read able and you could do alot worse.

This is the first time ever I have downloaded a sample, and it starts in the middle of the book!! I will not buy a book, unless I read it from the beginning and decide if I want to read the whole thing. Just like if I picked it up in a bookstore and read the first chapter and decided to buy it. I guess I will not be buying this from apple........way to go. Nice decision....not!!

Love the details of the story, the relationship between husband and wife, parents and child moved me.
