Book Review of Alice I Have Been

Alice I Have Been


Wow, ah not sure what I want to say about this book. I am sure you have read other reviews as I have so here is my take on the book.
Story is very interesting in learning the details of the writing of AIW, while reading I was prompted to learn more about CL and checked out the internet for his pictures etc.
I think the relationship between them is odd and it would have appeared the same to others in that timeframe also, men who are "more comfortable" around children especially little girls is always going to raise a red flag. Photographing them and other little girls was just creepy.
I was abit annoyed at Alice and how she came across as very self serving, high handed and abit bitchy. Sorry for the language.
The story is a bit slower than I liked but was very engrossing in detail and development of characters and history of the making of AIW.
I was constantly reminding myself that this was fiction but the details of most of the story were fact. This book will stay with you and will make you think long after you have finished the last page.
