Explanation In Pursuance Of 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.

Notice Containing Books The End of Alice

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.

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

This book is creepy. Hard core creepy, diving face first into a very hard core subject which is pedophilia. A middle aged convict in prison for the murder and abuse of a child who corresponds with a 19 year old girl who's trying to seduce a young boy in her neighborhood. DarkIf reading about this sort of subject is too much for you then don't read it because the book gets graphic and takes a full dive of what goes into the minds of those sorts of predators. The main character is a very

Another reviewer said this was "a great book about terrible things"-PERFECTLY said. This was probably the darkest, most disturbing (and so gross in many, many parts) stories I've ever read-but it was so well written and paced. The main characters are two demented pedophiles, one in prison and one writing to him. One male, one female, but both twisted. Their letters and stories are obviously grotesque but also a kind of cat and mouse game between them. I don't know how to recommend this book

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

WARNING: HORROR NOVEL. EVERY PARENTS NIGHTMARE. I just thought I should make that (the above) very clear.It starts out innocently enough a letter to a prisoner. But then the story evolves into something terrible, horrible. And lots of gruesome. Have I made it clear? This book is about a pedophile. A old one in prison and a new one...free. Your asking why did you read this? I do not know. I thought "oh it is less than 300 pages, it should be a quick read and it will be like a Dateline episode".

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
