Alice, I think by Susan Juby

I got this book from the library on the recommendation of people on Adbooks. One of their observations was that the main character in the story had a rather unique "voice" - and that it appeals to some and not to others. I was/am interested in this observation, largely because I didn't find the "voice" that compelling. While slightly different from some sarcastic teen "voices", it doesn't seem THAT different that I would have remarked on it. It isn't a bad book, and some parts are truly funny, but the main character just didn't grab me as much as I had hoped. Some of the people on Adbooks said similar things. Others completely loved the character and have read all of the sequels. I probably won't.
