Summary: Hilarious!
Review: Alice has a unique, witty and extremely funny way of looking at everything and anything. Her home town of Smithers BC. Her weirdo parents. The amusing characters inhabiting her life - at school, at her therapy centre, at the new age bookstore. You will laugh loudly and might embarass yourself if you read it in public. This book is sharper and better than the "Princess Diaries" and "Angus Thongs And Full Frontal Snogging". Canadians especially will get a kick out of it, but people of all ages, male or female will enjoy it too.

Summary: Review from a student
Review: Alice, I Think is a hilarious, exciting and fascinating book. This book talks about the life of a teenage girl who does not fit into her school and her surroundings. Juby cleverly uses Alice as a role model to tell all the young people who do not fit into their high schools that originality is a special gift. Alice, I Think is an entertaining book because it contains sex (sort of), some violence and lots of humor. Everything that a person looks for in a book.

Summary: Waste of Time...
Review: Alice, I Think truly started promising, yet dragged on after the first two pages. To give you an idea, Alice starts by ranting on her childhood. Fair enough. However, her first days at school seemed so...unrealistic. The characters were boring and overdone. The first graders talked like they weren't first graders.
But the scene where Alice, at the third page, gets hit by rocks by the other girls because she was different was really when it started going really icky. When her mother contacts the school about the throwing rocks incident, the school gives an apathic answer, but Juby puts it in a way that makes it so unreal. Of course school boards can not care at times, but the scene was tilted in a way that we would pity Alice. In a bad way.
I read on to see if it would get better. It didn't. The characterization got worse and worse. People showed up with no personality. Other reviewers state that they were too "weird", but really, they were just overdone with crappy dialogue. There was no plot, either. Juby simply took some events in Alice's life and attempted miserably to glue it together.
Don't waste your time reading this book. If you're looking for teenage problem-humor-diary format books, Louise Rennison and Meg Cabot are definitely more worth the time.

Summary: Not even worth the space on your library card.
Review: Alice, I Think, is the single worst book I've ever read in my life. There is no plot, no substance, no humour, and no reality. All attempts at wit are heavy-handed. Alice is just another teenager who thinks she's brilliantly funny because she can state the obvious, and Susan Juby is just another author with a bad perception of teenagers. The characters are impossible to identify with. The situations described in the book are so ridiculous that it's impossible to relate to them at all. In short, this book is an utter waste of time. There are so many better YA books out there. Even six hours of rereading the first Harry Potter book is better than this.

Summary: Could have been better...
Review: All in all, ALICE, I THINK is pretty unrealistic. It started out okay, but you kind of expected it to be more focused on Alice returning back to school after being home-schooled, not about 'thrifting' and getting beaten up by the same girl that got her pulled out of first grade... If you absolutely wanted to read it, I would get it from a library- it's definitely not worth buying.

Summary: greattttt!!!!
Review: Although I had a hard time getting into this book, once I did, I ended up loving it. I thought it was really unique, funny, and surprising, with colorful characters, and an underlying earnestness and morality despite the bizarre goings-on on the surface. I think reading MISS SMITHERS (the sequel) helps (I read both books within a short time period), because you can get a better sense of this writer's style and intention. MISS SMITHERS also has more of a traditional plot, which makes it easier to get into. I really think this author has an original voice and is not afraid to touch on subjects that are topical and/or of interest to teenagers, even though some readers might be put off. I hope she writes more novels.

Summary: fascinating, humorous, albeit wandering plot
Review: I greatly enjoyed Susan Juby's debut novel "Alice, I Think". I did not put it down from start to finish. Having been home schooled myself by a relatable "hippie" mother for a short period during my elementary years; I found many of the issues to be whole and humorous truths. The plot line was not exactly firm, but as Juby was aiming to portray the diaried life of a teenage girl, we cannot entirely expect her to provide one. The form in which Alice scribed her life was hilarious; the dry humor could be lost on some. The characters were eclectic, and provided much spice to the story. I enjoyed Alice's attempts to become "alternative", trying the replicate her cousin franks hair cut (with disastrous-and then fufilling- consequences), "thrifting", and trying hard to become immune to pop culture, while inadvertently submitting herself to the worst form.
All in all, this was a well-rounded read, with laughs, life lessons, and much more. It is to be avoided if you lack the talent to pick up on dry humor, subtle sarcasm, and a strong sense of reading between the lines for humor not plainly stated. The book is a plain farce, and should be taken as so.

Summary: No Good!
Review: I honestly didnt like this book. It dragged and took a really long time to get to the main plot!
Rating:
Summary: it just drags on and on....
Review: I love reading, and I usually make a point to finish any book that I start, but when I began reading this book I got so bored with the extremely weird story of Alice I had to force myself to skim the rest of it. There's no main point to the story and the author seems to be trying too hard to create conflict in the book. The characters are all extremely boring and overall its just a very poorly written book.

Summary: Laughed until I cried!
Review: I love this book! 'Alice, I Think' is powerfully written and has the ability to sweep us back to our angst filled adolescent years making us laugh out loud. It made me want to buy copies for all of my friends and every adolescent person I know. I look forward to reading more about Alice, her family and her burgeoning group friends.
