An absolutely fascinating and well told journey of self discovery. This book was definitely dated, and there were things about Dominick that were hard to forgive, but they added to the characters complexity. I looked forward to picking up this book everyday and, though really it felt like a reading a big therapy session, I would definitely read more by this author.

This post contains spoilers

show me

Halfway through, and it‘s a great book but I HATE Dominick. He‘s an awful person. He‘s a coward who always kowtows to social pressure, whether it leaves him a racist or a bully. The way he raped Dessa and the book just went on as if it was just a rough patch for them??? I don‘t think I‘ve ever read a book where I hated the main character and still loved the book, so props to the author on that, but damn. And I have yet to see anyone mention this?

pick

I finally finished!! Just about a pick for me. Too much superfluous information and odd story lines popping up all over the place.
A satisfactory ending but sometimes felt like a slog to get there.
What a lot these characters, especially Dominick, had to put up with!

Cinfhen Hahaha! I appreciate your sentiments/ there was alot to get through and Lamb threw a lot at us but I enjoyed the journey even the crazy memoir of his grandfather, Dominick. 2y

TrishB I think they were my least fave bits tbh. I did think he was going to turn out to be their father too! I was glad he wasn‘t. @Cinfhen 2y

TrishB I also think given the build up that Thomas‘s death was really quiet and downplayed and it was actually heart breaking. Do you think it was suicide? 2y

See All 11 Comments

Cinfhen Yes, I think it was and I agree. Dominick fought so hard for Thomas. The way Ray treated Thomas was SO HEARTBREAKING. I literally couldn‘t take those parts because it felt so real. Lamb wrote his characters so authentically. 2y

Cinfhen I was satisfied with the ending. I was glad Dessa & Dom found their way back together 2y

TrishB I was glad too, meant I could let my breath out finally @Cinfhen 2y

TrishB @Cinfhen we got there eventually 😁 2y

peaKnit I really struggle with the family historical parts, that said I‘ve read it a few times and they explain more about their mom every time I read. I find Dominic to be a heartbreaking character, means well but rarely gets it right…the mini series was well done with Mark Ruffalo as the twins. 2y

TrishB @peaknit he does make a lot of dodgy decisions! I don‘t watch a lot of telly so i probably won‘t get to the series. Though it has a lot of good feedback. 2y

Cinfhen I definitely want to watch the mini series but I need a mental break for a bit @peaknit that whole bit with the brother and the monkey?!??? Is that in the mini series??? There was a lot going on. The book felt a bit dated though/ did u feel that, Trish?? 2y

TrishB @Cinfhen yes definitely dated. I think I probably would have loved it more if I‘d have read when it was published? 2y

Wow! There was a lot to unravel n this 900 page novel. Layers upon layers, going back several generations. Sins, forgiveness, secrets, regrets. A story of identical twins in physical appearances but distinctively different personalities, Nature or Nurture? Does being a twin make you accountable for your other half? Obligated? Responsible? Do you carry parts of each other unknowingly? Lots of heartache but ultimately some redemption too.

I‘m really loving this book. Lamb writes so viscerally and beautifully. I‘m taken right back to the late 1970‘s - when Thursday‘s meant the new issue of TV Guide would be waiting in the mailbox. And that euphoria of discovering what lay ahead in the upcoming week. I would read the TV Guide cover to cover, like it was a text book. Life was full of wonder & anticipation pre Internet. Ohhh, and the JOY of those Fall Preview Issues🥰

Cinfhen Have you started yet @TrishB ??? 2y

Bookboss Oh, my goodness! I need to read this. I LOVED getting the new TV Guide. 2y

Cinfhen It‘s really a book about mental illness/schizophrenia @Bookboss but the author describes a scene when one brother rips up the new issue of TV Guide in a rage before his twin has a chance to read it. It was written so vividly (edited) 2y

TrishB Nope! Haven‘t finished the last book yet. Work stress. Meetings all day and brain fog by the end of it. 😞 looking forward to it eventually……. 2y

Cinfhen Ugh, work stress!! Did they have TV Guide in the UK @TrishB 2y

TrishB We had the equivalent - I can‘t remember the exact name though! Someone with a better memory than me can shout out. I‘m in a mtg that‘s going on for ever at the moment…..hence being on Litsy. 2y

Cinfhen Ooops, sorry @TrishB xxx @squirrelbrain @rockpools you might remember…..what was the UK equivalent of TV Guide?? 2y

rockpools Look at those covers!! We had Radio Times and TV Times (both did telly & radio). I think Radio Times was a BBC thing, so probably a bit more ‘proper!‘ Later on I loved going through them with a felt-tip circling all the must-see programmes (probably Top of the Pops and, um, Top of the Pops!) 2y

Crazeedi @Cinfhen oh my goodness you just brought back memories for me! TV Guides!! They were the best! Like you I read them cover to cover. And we also got Readers Digests that I devoured, 😀 2y

Cinfhen My grandparents got Readers Digest @Crazeedi and I remember loving those too!!! 2y

Cinfhen Top of the Pops!! What night was that on @rockpools ?? In all of my #MusicalMemoirs that program is always mentioned as the pinnacle of their success to perform on Top of the Pops 2y

Crazeedi @Cinfhen let's just say this Cindy, I read everything I could, we didn't have money to buy books, of course I used the library, but anything print that came in the house was fair game for me! In the summer we had a traveling bookmobile that I borrowed from since the school was closed 2y

squirrelbrain The Christmas Radio Times was always the most exciting! @rockpools @TrishB @Cinfhen 2y

rockpools @Cinfhen Thursday nights, 7 o‘clock (ish). Truly iconic British TV. Not always for the right reasons 😬, but I‘m guessing every band of the 70s/80s has a TOTP story to tell. And yes @squirrelbrain - I LOVED the Christmas edition 😁 2y

Cinfhen So funny, we all had similar experiences despite our age, or continent @rockpools @squirrelbrain @TrishB @Crazeedi that proves what it is to be a reader!!! Everything with print was devoured!!! 😊 2y

Crazeedi @Cinfhen @rockpools @squirrelbrain @TrishB that's why we are connected here❤❤ 2y

LeahBergen Those covers! What a blast from my past. 🤣 2y

Suet624 I think this is the best of Lamb‘s books. I read it when it came out and my twins were babies. It impacted me greatly. 2y

Cinfhen Hahaha, I KNEW you‘d LOVE these covers @LeahBergen but im having trouble placing the TV shows for the 3 guys. I recognize Eric Estrada - CHIPS and I think one is The Dukes of Hazard guy(?)…. 2y

Cinfhen I didn‘t know you had twins @Suet624 !!! This book is such a chunkster but it‘s fantastic/ such good writing 2y

Suet624 Yup, 2 of my 4 kids are twins. 🥰 2y

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 1/2

I almost quit reading this because the first half was going too slow for me. Glad I didn‘t.

The story is about two twin brothers, Dominick and Thomas Birdsey, and the complexity of their relationship as well as the relationships between them and their mother and step-father. Betrayal, devastation, alienation, and forgiveness are major themes in this book and Wally Lamb does a great job tying everything together.

Prairiegirl_reading I read this years ago and it was emotionally exhausting but so well written from what I remember. I lent my copy to someone and they never gave it back. 3y

This is the kind of book where, as you're reading, you're thinking, "How is it possible for someone to actually DO this?" Almost like you just hold the book up over your head, and the words pour in, effortless. This intense novel was easy to slip into and hard to put down. An engrossing page-turner in every respect...just every cliche is true for this one. I don't want to say too much of what it's about because everything is a spoiler. Amazing.

Wow, this book was really something. A literal epic tale of a man‘s life. Wally Lamb did such a good job telling an entire life story from baby to late 40‘s without losing track of a main plot. It‘s so impressive how he can do that! This book was both relieving and devastating. I was so invested in Dominick‘s well-being. There were some pretty shocking revelations (others not so much),

sarahlandis there were times I couldn‘t put it down and there was a long stretch where I was waiting for a particular story line just get over with for goddess sake. But overall, I fell so in love with this book, it was filled with secrets and mysterious, but not a cheesy mystery novel, and although it was quite the task to read a 900 page book (I think the longest book I‘ve ever read?), I‘m so happy I did. 4y

I Know This Much Is True | Wally Lamb

I‘m usually put off my books with #over500pages, so if I choose to read one, it‘s because I really, really want to. I‘m glad I read this one...it‘s fantastic and I highly recommend. I cannot wait for the HBO series!
