I think it goes without saying that this book is disturbing--it's meant to be. You aren't supposed to agree with the protagonist or even like who he is, but I think you are supposed to see where he comes from and what happened to make him the way he is. The End of Alice is incredibly well written, so it's obvious that Homes has some serious skills. I'm not going to reccommend this book to anyone, as I think you have to be in a certain frame of mind to read it. Next time you want to read something dark and literary, however, consider picking it up. Very well written, even though the subject matter is revolting. Though it was recommended to me as a "book with dark subject matter that will shock you", I wouldn't recommend it to most people I know. That said, I'll definitely pick up another A.M. Homes book. Music for Torching looks intriguing and so I'll give that a go as well. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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.

It isn't five stars sheerly for the subject matter, and that's the same reason I write this review -- to warn those who might read this, not knowing what they're going to get into. I don't really feel like glorifying a work wrapped around a pedophile's life or the empathy one can find with him. Still, the writing was sound, the book engrossing -- much like a trainwreck is. ( )
