An awesome twist on a classic story. It's a darker version of a childrens book for young adults. Its like Hood is for the Robin Hood classic, and I loved it!

I loved this twist and take of the story of Alice in Wonderland. I think that it captured a more modern interpretation. It was cleverly written and truly magical.

This was actually a pretty interesting take on Wonderland, and added a heavy amount of science fiction-type technology blended with fantasy logic within the tale. Although my library deems it appropriate for teens and above, I believe that it probably would fit best with young teens and 'tweens, as the plot and dialogue appear to be geared toward that age set. I did, however, enjoy it as a big fan of Alice in Wonderland.

Very good. I read most of it in one night, but then was busy for a week!
I thought that it seemed a little young, but, it IS a children's book. I loved the 'power of imagination' being the primary force at work. And the reflexivity. I love reflexivity.
