The Passion of Alice is by far one of the most hilarious books I've ever read. I found myself laughing out loud at every twist and turn Alice takes in her private wonderland of hospitals and the inscrutable world of eating disorders. The author writes with charm and authority about a girl in her private hell searching for her life and her struggle for life itself.
