I'm biased. I don't necessarily think that Now I'll Tell You Everything, the final book in the Alice McKinley series, was a five star book. But I've grown up with Alice, and even though this last book was by no means a strong entry to the series (or even all that surprising, to be honest), it was still a fantastic sendoff. And I will buy the book when it is actually released, because I can't have an incomplete collection! ;)A little more on my thoughts: (view spoiler)[Of course she ends up withReally this book is 2. 5 stars and the .5 is for nostalgic fondness. This book does not lie it does follow Alice from 18-60. Yes I guess that those of us who have "known" Alice for years did want to know how she ended up and with whom. Perhaps though we didn't need quite this much detail. Frankly a lot of the book was just dull. I mean I thought "who cares?" several times. There are also a thousand little nitpicks I have because I am very familiar with the area that she is writing about. Which
loved this for sentimental reasons
Before I embark on this admittedly negative review I have to mention that this series really meant a lot to me while I was growing up. I really appreciate the author's commitment to her fans and its evident that this book was written with the now mostly adult readers in mind. That being said, I was dubious of this book when I heard a few years ago that it would take Alice from 18-60 in one book and I think I was correct to have been suspicious. I was really rooting for the final book to be
I'm going to admit that I was a teensy bit wary about this final book. The work in the latest books deteriorated a little bit, as it felt like Phyllis Reynolds Naylor grew less and less in touch with the young people of today. I can tell you all about the distinctive moments in the first Alice books, like Denise Whitlock's bullying, the pencil test, the gum in Pamela's hair, Alice's fake wedding in high school and Pamela's fake pregnancy, and it all felt so real to me when I was younger and
All right. If you were an active fan of this series all alonglike, keeping up with the author's website and writing in your suggestions for the seriesyou may have been less surprised by the last book than I was (maybe). But I was really disappointed by the way this series ended. (Don't worry; no spoilers except the general outline of the book.)Each of the twenty-seven previous books, including prequels, covered a space of four months. First semester of the school year, second semester, summer.
I started reading about Alice when I too was in middle school. The embarrassing stories and promises of her friends and of course, of Patrick, helped me through a lot of awkward times as well. When I discovered there had been written a last Alice book in my local library, I was ecstatic.The book was good and bad in my opinion. Of course I wanted to know how her life turns out and who she experiences the end of it with. But I also felt like several events were cut way too short. For example, in
