I got this book to review through NetGalley. I was immediately interested in the fact that it was an Alice in Wonderland retelling. I was a bit unsure about the whole zombie theme to it. It ended up being an interesting blend of Resident Evil-like post-apocalyptic zombie tale and Alice in Wonderland re-imaging. This is the first book in a new series (I thought it was stand alone but it’s not).

This was a well written novel and overall I ended up enjoying it. I liked the characters and thought that the way the Alice in Wonderland content was blended in was well done and very tongue-in-cheek. It’s definitely a dark retelling and reminds a bit of the Alice: Madness Returns video game. You could also compare this series to Showalter’s Alice in Zombieland; I thought this book was much more well done than the Alice in Zombieland series.

The writing flows well and is engaging; I found myself drawn into the story and this ended up being a quick read for me. There were some inconsistencies that I struggled to get over. For example Alice is supposedly very bookish and introverted; yet suddenly when she gets to Wanderland she is able to sword fight and kick zombie butt...I was kind of like “Huh, where’d she learn that from”. Some of the reveals about Chess also bothered me.

The parallels between this book and the original Alice in Wonderland series are well done. Right away Alice is led through Wanderland by Chess, a nimble boy who frequently disappears and is cryptic. The doctor she chases through the city is named after the White Rabbit and another of the researchers is named Matt Hatta. I enjoyed hunting for the parallels and loved how they were hidden throughout the story.

I did not realize that this is the first book in a series, so this book has absolutely no resolution and pretty much ends right in the middle of things...just a heads up.

Overall while I did enjoy this book, I am not huge into zombie survival novels right now so I am uncertain as to whether or not I will continue with the series. I would recommend to those who enjoy post-apocalyptic zombie tales or are obsessed with Alice in Wonderland retellings. ( )

When I first started reading this it was a fun Where’s Waldo type of game to see how Sullivan was going to incorporate Lewis Carroll, his plethora of characters and references to one of the best fantasy books of our childhood. Amidst the fun of iconic childhood references there was plenty of mystery, danger and excitement to thrill the adult side.

Sullivan takes Alice on a journey unlike anything we’ve seen before but using the icons we are all familiar with made it somehow more special especially since she wrote this version of Carroll’s timeless classic in a way that did honor to the story rather than maligning it. Readers will be transported along with Alice as reality melts away to take you off to a new world which thanks to the author’s writing style comes alive.

Even as you find familiarity with the characters, Sullivan definitely added her own spin by developing their personalities and motivations so you can get to know these iterations as she’s created them outside of Carroll’s original idea.

One of the things I liked best is her writing style is so descriptive you can practically see her story come alive in your head like a movie playing on the screen. ( )

There are so many revisions on this tale. I liked this twist that author, J.M. Sullivan took for this book. Of course, there was the undead but it also had a bit of a dystopian feel to it that I enjoyed.

The world of "Wanderland" is not all mystical. In fact, you could call it "upside down". Things you thought you knew about your favorite characters are not the same in this book. For example: Rabbit is a doctor, Mad Hatter is know as Matt Hatta, a mad scientist. the Queen, she is more evil, and my favorite Cheshire Cat aka Chess, a boy. The way that Chess kept pushing Alice's buttons made me smile and laugh. Yet, as much as the momerath were supposed to be feared, I did not fear them as much as I did the evil Queen. You do not want to get on her bad side. Although, I don't think she has a good side. The ending was a bit of a surprise. It left me looking forward to the next book. ( )
