Commentary Supposing Books The End of Alice

From the 2013 Orange Prize-winning author of May We Be Forgiven

Only a work of such searing, meticulously controlled brilliance could provoke such a wide range of visceral responses. Here is the incredible story of an imprisoned pedophile who is drawn into an erotically charged correspondence with a nineteen-year-old suburban coed. As the two reveal—and revel in—their obsessive desires, Homes creates in The End of Alice a novel that is part romance, part horror story, at once unnerving and seductive.

Piece Containing Books The End of Alice
Ok, I get Lolita. I get American Psycho (even think it might be a work of genius). I don't get this one. Yet another exploration of the mindset of a truly sick fuck. Sections of this book are just gross beyond belief. Ok, it's well described (but I can't even say the prose uplifts or illuminates or sheds understanding in any way -- nor does anything stick because it's a phrase that just had to be written). The content though -- if you're looking for something that sickens you to the stomach,

It's hard for me to give this book a proper review, mainly because it was hard for me to read. I'd like to say that the reason for this is because of the lurid and explicit detail the author goes into in telling the story of an incarcerated pedophile exchanging letters and depravities with a similarly minded young woman on the outside, and maybe that was part of it, certainly. However, more than anything else, aside from the graphic nature of the storyline and details therein, it's actually

i just realized my "greg gets three" shelf only has one. i am a failure.greg told me to write a review for this book, and i started to think about it, and realized this is going to be one of those reviews that will reflect poorly upon me when my enthusiasm for the book is weighed up against the subject matter. so - a warning.***it is an ungentle book. you can stop reading here if you are not into the rough stuff.***basically, it is about a man in jail for being humbert humbert with a knife. his

As you've probably guessed by the 5 stars, I loved it. Far more than I expected to. I was particularly impressed with the writing, and that there was plenty of room for interpretation. I don't like being spoon-fed stories. I've included some of my thoughts below, cobbled together from a Chaos Reading group read that we did in 2014.

I hate books like this. How to rate it? Should I rate it based on content? Because I tell you, there is some messed up stuff here and I in no way approve any of their actions. I feel like giving a high rating signals I'm okay with pedophiles, rapists, and murderers. I'm not. Just so we're on the same page. But I picked up this book knowing it was going to make me squeamish and uncomfortable. That was the point. To see through the eyes and with the feelings of a person of depraved moral

I tried to keep an open mind, but I couldn't help comparing the narrative voice with Humbert Humbert's and founding it wanting. A pity, because I quite liked the other Homes' novel I read, "This Book Will Change Your Life".

Ugh!!!!! Really really did not like this book. It made my skin crawl. I like A.M. Homes and I have enjoyed her other works but not this one! It is about a convicted child molester and murderer. There are explicit scenes of child sexual abuse. Not my cup of tea.
