review 1: A very clever book. Of course, I initially believed this to be a true story and was blown away by the talent and torment of Addison. But about a third of the way in I started to feel like these people couldn't be real and must be characters and that's when I looked at the beginning of the book and saw "this is a work of fiction". It is written as though the author conducted a series of interviews regarding the untimely death of a young artist named Addison Stone who fell to her death while working on a billboard art piece. Questions about whether it was an accident or if there had been foul play surround the tragedy. Filled with pictures of her "art"and photographs of her with "friends". Adele Griffen does an amazing job capturing the voices of all the people in Addison's... more life from her parents to her best friend and her art teachers who were surrogate parents to her. It was a lot of fun....still keep thinking Addison really did exist:)
review 2: This isn't a mystery. Addison Stone, and young and exceptionally promising artist, has died. Her friends and family and fans all narrate what led up to her death, with various and interesting levels of unreliability. It's clear very, very early on that Addison has something like schizophrenia; I'm not sure what is supposed to be surprising about the (very well-written, interesting) story or why it's classified as a mystery. less
