Product Description:
The Myth: Alice was an ordinary girl who stepped through the looking glass and entered a fairy-tale world invented by Lewis Carroll in his famous storybook. The Truth: Wonderland is real. Alyss Heart is the heir to the throne, until her murderous aunt Redd steals the crown and kills AlyssÂ’ parents. To escape Redd, Alyss and her bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, must flee to our world through the Pool of Tears. But in the pool Alyss and Hatter are separated. Lost and alone in Victorian London, Alyss is befriended by an aspiring author to whom she tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. Yet he gets the story all wrong. Hatter Madigan knows the truth only too well, and he is searching every corner of our world to find the lost princess and return her to Wonderland so she may battle Redd for her rightful place as the Queen of Hearts.

I liked this book. Alice in Wonderland is a well known and commonly remade story, but this book has a bit of a twist. Instead of Alice starting her life in the real world, she starts it in Wonderland. Then she gets transported to the real world until she is found and taken back to Wonderland. The Red Queen is still the enemy at large. All the characters are there, though some have been changed to make the story interesting in a different way. I liked it because of the character personalities, mainly ... Read More

This book is fun and entertaining, but written a little simplistically.
But it's a great read for children, probably aged 10-16 who have good imaginations.

I just plain didn't get this book, and I really, really wanted to love it. I pushed myself to page 100 before I gave up the cause. Not only did the writing never engage me, the story was so loosely based on Alice in Wonderland that I would hardly call it a retelling of the same book. Yes, some of the characters had the same names, but they were completely up-ended--the Mad Hatter a martial artist? The White Rabbit a dottering old scholar? Come on, now; at least try to preserve a hint of what made us love ... Read More

While this is classified as "young adult" fiction, any adult with an imagination and even a little memory of the Lewis Carroll tale can't help but to appreciate this enlightening twist on the familiar story. We come to find out that Alyss (the real spelling of her name) is less than impressed with - and even infuriated by - Carroll's rendition of her story, which at the time she believed would serve as a cry of help for someone to show her the way back through the Pool of Tears to become Wonderland's rightful ...

Not a lick of character development in this book, which makes me not give a hoot about what happens to anyone in this story. This book reads like a Cliff's Notes version of what a better book could be. It reads like he just wanted to get his ideas down on paper as quickly as possible, get it to the publisher and cash in. The story is rushed, the plot is rushed and his descriptions of the characters and world around them couldn't be less vivid. This thing needs a reboot by another author.
