Alice Isn’t Dead is a great novel adaptation by the casting the same name. While I prefer the podcast, I did enjoy the book. There’s a lot of great visual descriptions that lend itself to great horror moments, which is the novel’s greatest strength. I also enjoyed the message of hope, and the importance of fighting against hate and doing what’s right — especially when you’re scared. The only drawback for me is the pacing, and sometimes the writing style. There’s a couple of moments where I feel paragraphs or sentences end abruptly, but overall, I enjoyed it!
