Alfie's not really a bad guy. It's just that he has this overwhelming desire for the ladies. You might say that 'birds' are irresistible to him, sort of second nature. There's Ruby - 'A lust box in beautiful condition'; Clare - 'You're all lathered in sweat, Alfie'; and Siddie, and Crala, and Annie - but who's counting? Certainly not Alfie. Three in one evening if necessary. And necessary is the right word. No library descriptions found. |

It is difficult to read the book without picturing the young Michael Caine as he appeared in the original film, all Cockney bravado and slick clothes, whereas those earlier antiheroes were hard-wrought Northern working-class men (played by the likes of Tom Courtenay and Albert Finney with unadulterated Northern accents). It's hard not to hate Alfie, but it's also hard not to sympathize with him just a little bit. Warning that there is a lot of very sexist and homophobic language throughout the book, but this is true to the time period and to the character. Frustrating but ultimately rewarding if you can get past Alfie's actions and think about the themes Naughton is conveying about human nature. ( )
