A novel you must read twice. It made me cry, Sylvia alone and cold. It makes me want to know more about Sylvia the
Poet

Not as predictable as I thought it would be

This is a good work of fiction. The author draws out many emotions from the reader. It is a bit 'sensationalised ', if you could useed that word. As in reality living with a mental illness and having suicide attempts within your family is a get deal more complicated and painfull than the book depicts.

Alias Grace is a haunting novel. It leaves you thinking about the truth behind the Kinnear-Montgomery murders. The sugguestion of what might have taken place back in 1843, stays in your mind well after you have finished reading the novel. The psychiatric knowledge included in the book is primative and crude. Its good to know psychiatry hasmoved away from suggesting people who have bumps or dents are cause for determining whether they are criminals or are insane.
