Sometimes you have to be a high riding bitch to survive, sometimes, being a bitch is all a woman has to hang on to Having been suspected of being involved in the death of her rich employer, Dolores Claiborne tells the story of her life to the police, from the disintegration of her marriage and suspicious death of her husband to the relationship she had with her employer, Vera Donovan.Wow, this book is pretty unique it s in the form of a monologue given by Dolores herself detailing the events lea [...]

Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman s got to hold on to Dolores Claiborne Meet Dolores Claiborne island woman, mother of three, murderess and overall high riding bitch And I love her She is strength and smarts and dignity personified and in my opinion, one of the most vivid and memorable literary creations ever to walk the pages of any book I don t say that lightly Yes I m a fan, yes I m gushing, but this is also a tempered, critical evaluation after living with her existence these many year [...]

An accident is sometimes an unhappy woman s best friend Five stars for Stephen King s Dolores Claiborne I ve been slowly working my way through King s catalog, and I picked up Dolores because 1 I had liked the 1995 movie version starring Kathy Bates and Jennifer Jason Leigh and 2 the story features a total solar eclipse, which we just experienced last year However, I was unprepared for how marvelous the dialogue was, how sharp witted the character of Dolores would be, and how thrilling the beats [...]

Fascinating story and such a strong voice Since this story is pretty much an obvious one, centered on what appears to be a solid who done it, it s just the devil in the details where we have to place all our attention.Will this be a rubbernecking event Or is an obviously guilty woman obviously and truly guilty with the crime she is being accused of Truly, the story is a lot complex and interesting than any first glance, and than anything, we re meant to get in deep within Dolores s skin Classi [...]

I m not an ardent fan od Stephen King but Dolores Claiborne felt pretty good to me I ve read only three his works earlier just to see what people see in him and have to say I liked him the most in his psychological version Because despite the opinion of being horror writer he is quite good observer of life, not specially prophetic, revealing or something, just good Also he seems to have an eye to render quite an atmosphere of time and place he describes And to me picture of reality, even if dist [...]

I have been sitting in a room having a little break, from A Dance with Dragons, listening to Dolores tell me her story.It s a confession really.About her husband and what happened during that eclipse About her employer but mostly, and most importantly, about herself as a woman, and a wife, and a mother.It is a very chilling tale, told by today s master of the craft.The bell resonates.I fell into her voice and found myself in that small town, on that little island, off the coast of Maine with her [...]

Kathy Bates What an actress Forgive me as I talk a bit about the movies born from King s novels So Kathy Bates starred as both Annie Wilkes and Dolores Claiborne in Misery and what s the name of the other film oh yeah, Dolores Claiborne I ve watched them both Liked them both a lot If you haven t, maybe you should, if not for Stephen King s stories, then for Bates acting and to see two flicks that turned out right This is especially true if you thought that King only wrote straight horror But rea [...]

This book was a little gem I did a mixture of reading and listening to the audiobook and the narrator was fantastic I think what makes it stand out is the unique format of the story, which was Dolores giving her testimony to the police after her employer died in her care I wasn t sure I would like the structure of it being one long chapter but it was so compelling that it worked well I was drawn in from the very beginning with this woman s charming dialect and wit, and how she could possibly hav [...]

Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman s got to hold on to One of King s greatest talents is in his writing of characters, making them come across as realistic paper people with sympathetic emotions and believable motivations Dolores Claiborne is a work of art she s not the typical heroine that carries a novel with her beauty, intelligence, station in life, or luck of fate Instead she s average with her life but takes herself up a notch, makes herself stand out by standing strong in the face of [...]

I haven t read very many from Stephen King well, okay, I ve read nine but seven of those were Dark Tower books This is the least supernatural, most realistic of his that I ve read Yeah, there s a teeny smidge of the supernatural in this book which really, wasn t at all necessary, but maybe he just can t help himself , but the majority of the material here comes from cold, stark reality It s still completely frightening and gruesome, but in a subtle and restrained way that I really love This book [...]

Five stars for one of my very favorite Stephen King stories the enthralling and legendary 1993 novel, Dolores Claiborne As old as this book is, and considering it was made into a big budget film starring Kathy Bates my favorite King adaption, by the way , almost everyone knows the plot so I won t rehash too much But I will say this is the story of a woman easily the strongest woman King has ever created, and simply one of the best damn female main characters I ve ever come across in fiction This [...]

Middle of the pack King book, for me There is no bitch on earth like a mother frightened for her kids If the book were to be distilled down into one sentence, this would do it justice I can appreciate that King was doing something different and unique here with the narration He was definitely taking himself out of his own comfort zone And in King fashion, he pulled it off surprise surprise I think this narrative style could have been a complete disaster if it wasn t a pro doing the work I did, h [...]

This was a little different from other works that I ve read by Stephen King Kind of a trumped up monologue, it s of a why done it suspense psychological thriller than a spine tingling horror.Ultimately it s a story that explores the complexity of human relationships, motivation, and disappointment using well drawn, layered, and interesting characters that border on caricatures in other words, the kind of book I love.The dialect dialogue is also quite impressive, even if occasionally a little ov [...]

It s been a while since I read a Stephen King book, and I picked this one up thinking that I d actually already read it.If I have read it before I can t remember but I loved this book this time around.This whole book is Dolores Claiborne telling the reader her story, and of course, this being Stephen King, it works brilliantly I was shocked in parts, surprised in others, and very satisfied with the whole thing by the end.An excellent story, from the best story teller I ve ever read.
