Living Dead Girl

De: Elizabeth Scott

Narrado por: Kate Reinders

Once upon a time, I was a little girl who disappeared.

Once upon a time, my name was not Alice.

Once upon a time, I didn't know how lucky I was.

When Alice was 10, Ray took her away from her family, her friends - her life. She learned to give up all power, to endure pain. She waited for the nightmare to be over.

Now Alice is 15 and Ray still has her, but he speaks more and more of her death. He does not know it is what she longs for. She does not know he has something more terrifying than death in mind for her.

This is Alice's story. It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Disturbing but fascinating, the book exerts an inescapable grip on readers - like Alice, they have virtually no choice but to continue until the conclusion sets them free." (Publishers Weekly)

Great book

This book was well written. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. I had to find out what happened to the main character.

Sad story but good one.

Would recommend to someone who is into this specific genre. Uncomfortable and not for the faint of heart. It’s for specific readers. Well done.

Serious book with a different point of view

This book was recommended to me by my Library Materials professor. She warned the class that it was hard to handle, but very good. It was a good book, but not as good as she made it seem.
The thing I liked about this book was the point of view. To be able to hear the thoughts of an abducted child is interesting. It changd my view of how I view kidnapping situations. The fear and anger that the child felt was well portrayed in the book.
I wouldn't recommend this book to children, although my teacher said it was children's literature, unless the child was a mature, older student who can handle dark, realistic stories.

Deeply disturbing and graphic imagery

I think the narrator did a wonderful job conveying this dark and disturbing story. I feel I wasn’t prepared for how graphic the CSA imagery would be. I’m used to books eluding to it but this story it felt like the main focus. I felt very icky after the book ended.
