1.5 starsThe writing itself is very good. A light touch that conveys emotion and character, setting and tone with great skill. Technically, I found little to fault. Rather, it was content that I found too sad and tragic for my taste. Whatever the truth of Alice Liddell's life and the circumstances o...
The story of Alice Liddell, told from her perspective. Alice L. is THE Alice - Alice in Wonderland. What exactly was the 7-11 year old Alice's relationship with Charles Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll? How did this relationship and it's symbolic memorialization in a famous children's story effect her adul...
This is a story about the "real" Alice from Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice in Wonderland. Her childhood as a muse, daughter, and sister. Her life as she grew older and everything changed. A great piece of historical fiction, the author creates a life story for Alice Liddell Hargreaves that is ver...
It is supposedly the true story of the life of the “real” Alice in Wonderland. I thought the book was interesting, although I found its pace very slow. I think fans of historical fiction would find it a good read.It does have some interesting themes ... touches on everything from pedophiles, class d...
I enjoyed this book but I wouldn't recommend it if you really really love the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Whether you decide to take the author's liberties with the story at face value or not this book will forever change the way you look at Alice's story. It's difficult after reading...
Melanie Benjamin's fictional account of Alice Liddell's life, Alice I Have Been, is written in the form of an autobiography. I was listening to the book via iTunes while I worked, and sometimes I would zone out a little (there are a few spots that are slow) but for the most part it kept me involved ...
But oh my dear, I am tired of being Alice in Wonderland. Does it sound ungrateful?Like most, I had no idea that Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland was inspired by a real little girl name Alice Liddell. Alice's father was dean of Christ Church, Oxford and the entire family lived there. That is where...
Once I saw that this book was about the real woman who inspired the character Alice from Alice In Wonderland, I had to read it. There were many things I did not know. For example, Lewis Carroll is a pen name for Charles Dodgson, who took pictures of children that even in his time was considered scan...
Melanie Benjamin weaves fact and fiction together to bring a cohesive story about Alice Liddell Hargreaves who inspired Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I think this book captures the mores of the Victorian era perfectly. This will be in my top ten for the year.I really needed a boo...
