ytcafe 's review for:
Alice I Have Been
by Melanie Benjamin
How quirky:
"one unfortunate youth who offered me a stick of something called "chewing gum" just prior to the ceremony at Columbia. "What does one do with it?" I inquired, only to be told, simply, to chew. "Chew? Without swallowing?"
A nod.
"To what end? What possibly could be the point?"
The young man could not answer that, and withdrew his invitation with a sheepish smile.
Amusing:
"Another sister! I already had two; I couldn't begin to think what I would do with anotehr one. I didn't mind brothers so much;"
Overall I liked the premise, but not the pace. I also didn't find myself caring about the characters.
