I kept wanting to grab a pencil and start editing. The writing wasn't favorable in the fact that it had a ton of run on sentences that began to be annoying. So I fell through the rabbit hole and began the journey with Alice.Īfter only a few pages of the book, I knew this was going to be hard to get through. I was curious though after reading some Austen remakes that are being retold the same way.
I liked Alice in Wonderland as a child, and I wasn't too sure I wanted to see what changes would be made to this classic story.
When asked to review this book, I was a little hesitant in accepting. I don't think we can go into books like this hoping they are the same as the books we love, but we have to see them as a doorway into a world that we don't spend enough time in already. I read these and I get the nostalgia and the love that I need when I think of alice but I don't have my love of carroll shattered by finding out that he wasn't anything special (which is actually why I haven't read colfer's adams spin off, I'm worried he'll write adams better than adams ever did and shatter all my hopes and dreams). I almost love the fact that no one compares to carroll. But instead of being the critic that most people are, I'm totally fine with that. and that is what I want when I read a book about alice, but like suess no one can actually imitate carroll. I mean lewis carroll isn't that different from dr. I mean you totally lose the important tone of alice in wonderland in this, which is of course that although she is stupid and innocent she is like the shit. I think in fact she is the female version of peter pan.īut when I think of alice I don't think of this:ĭo you want to know a secret? if you put alice in a book I will love it no matter how bad the book actually is I am obsessed with alice and wonderland, then way that I'm obsessed with peter pan. I felt bad taking it from her, but I NEEDED it.
Karen sacrificed this book to me cause I was so excited when I saw it.
