A review by cemoses
The Good Terrorist by Doris Lessing
3.0
My rating is 3.5. The book does go into some issues in about modern terrorists. Also the book was able to combine both some horrors of terrorism with humor.
However, I had some problems with the heroine. I found it hard to believe that Alice could be thirty-six and not know certain things; She seems like a very young girl not an almost middle age woman. Even if she were not very bright I think she would have obtained more wisdom. Also she is shown as being older than most of the other radicals. The author failed to explain why she was so much older than the others and why she stayed with Jasper so long.
