Review Detail

Reader reviewed by N. Fox

I'm actually writing this in response to the review given by L. Eustace.

I think they skimmed over a good portion of the book. Alice was never "quite popular", in fact she was an outcast. She made some friends with a FEW people like herself over time. The first party she went to consisted of people who weren't really her friends, and the people she became close with later in the book were loners like herself.

Also, to call a young woman's problems trite is ridiculous. Sometimes "simplicity" as you call it is all it takes to bring forth an important message.

I found the book fascinating, especially during the long detailed descriptions of her trips. I couldn't put the book down when she was at her lowest and writing a bunch of stuff that didn't make sense...I so wanted to know what was going on, and I couldn't make much out of it until it was explained later when she went back home.

I think it is an important message, a book that is needed to be addressed in the education of young people.
