After accidentally killing everyone in her class, Alice Wonder is now a patient in the Radcliffe Lunatic Asylum. No one doubts her insanity. Only a hookah-smoking professor believes otherwise; that he can prove her sanity by decoding Lewis Carroll's paintings, photographs, and find Wonderland's real whereabouts. Professor Caterpillar persuades the asylum that Alice can save lives and catch the wonderland monsters now reincarnated in modern day criminals. In order to do so, Alice leads a double life: an Oxford university student by day, a mad girl in an asylum by night. The line between sanity and insanity thins when she meets Jack Diamonds, an arrogant college student who believes that nonsense is an actual science.
I got this book from the author free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.
Firstly I would like to thank the author for giving me this opportunity of reading and reviewing this book.
I really adored every scene of it.
It was written so fantastically that I couldn't help myself and I'm bound to say that I enjoyed it much more than the original one. Well that's really saying something, right? The fact that it is a new and modern tale also added to that feeling and I was so impressed by the author's genuine effort to bring out the old yet a new Alice in front of the readers so that they can connect with the Alice they know but wouldn't feel that it's the same Alice from childhood books.
The twists were pretty awesome and I couldn't guess it all by myself but hey, I was close to solving the mystery many times but sadly didn't succeed. The whole plot was awesome and the adaptation is also executed so well that the Alice fans wouldn't get offended.
Apart from Alice all the other characters were remarkable and it was an exciting as well as fascinating read for me and I love re-telling of the old stories that had become a part of everyone's childhood and kept us happy and content for so long and when the author serves it with some great contemporary twist, well then it becomes irresistible, so go ahead and get a copy for yourself because I think you guys are going to love it. Enjoy reading!!!
Rating: Five Fairy Vampires
Wonderlander, Neverlander, Unicorn-chaser, enchanter, musician, survived a coma, & totally awesome. Sometimes I tell stories. Always luv the little monsters I write young adult paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and science fiction mostly. The Grimm Diaries series is a seven book saga that deals with retellings of fairy tales from a young adult POV - it connects most of the fairy tales together and claims to be the truth about fairy tales. I live in San Fransisco and seriously think circles are way cooler than triangles.
