Alice and the Fly

Reviews

"The novel takes on a disturbing and creepy feeling as it progresses and I couldn't dare put it down."—Book Likes —Anna James, The Bookseller —Helen Walsh, author of The Lemon Grove — The Guardian "the world needs more books like this"—Silke Reads and Writes "Debut novelist Rice has turned in an extraordinarily accomplished effort, beautifully plotted and structured, emotionally resonant, and filled with multidimensional characters, especially, of course, Greg, whose condition of being is never less than persuasive -and that will excite a keen empathy from readers. May he have many of them."—Booklist, Starred Review "It is no small feat to get into the mind of a disturbed teen. But James Rice does so skillfully in his debut novel . . . Rice propels readers into and beyond J.D. Salinger territory . . . This book may make readers take another look at the misfits among us whom we dismiss at their - and society's - peril."
—Star Tribune "It's thrilling, gripping, heart-stopping and somehow moving at the same time. This isn't a story for the weak of heart. I'm still blown away that this is actually the author's debut and I'll definitely be checking out whatever he puts out next."—Quite the Novel Idea "gives a good insight into the unstable mind of a troubled young man, and I would definitely read more from this author."—A House of Books Expand reviews
