Alison Wonderland par Helen Smith

    Regarding Ducks and Universes par Neve Maslakovic (Limelite)
    Limelite: Same kind of madcap characters and adventure, only this book is other worldly and centered on cuisine. It's also better.

This book is different from many other books. It is honestly unlike any other book I have ever read. I love this book though. Helen Smith shows observations of people's actions and thoughts throughout the book in a way that many of us are not used to. They sometimes catch you off guard in the best kind of way while reading.
Overall I'm extremely happy I picked the book up for my kindle it was worth more than the 2.99 I paid for it. ( )

couldn't get into it, I didn't particularly find it funny, & just wasn't my type of book. I did receive a review copy of this book for free ( )

One of the first things that came into my head after reading this book is "What a brilliant opening!" Seriously, you have to love a heroine saying this:
"I'm waiting for Mr. Wonderland and when I find him I'll get married. Until, then I'm staying single."


It's such a smart answer to anyone bothering you about your personal life, right?

Then there's the cover. I love the red, black and white and how they look together. It's like a mystery, making me wonder how colorful London - and the world in general - would look like if I looked at it from Alison's POV. And I can honestly say Alison's view of the world is quite unique. Afraid of letting her guard down with another man, due to her cheating ex husband, she'd rather live in a pseudo-relationship than trying to see if a real relationship would actually work. She's afraid of rejection, though I can hardly blame her. Her job isn't helping either. As a female P.I, she's mostly hired to prove an estranged husband or boyfriend is a cheater. At some point she gets a "secret mission" to check out some company dealing with genetically altered vegetables.

Besides Alison, we get to meet some interesting characters. We have Taron, Alison's friend, who is one of those unique friends. Taron is the kind of person who will either drive you mad or make you a happier person. She thinks her mother is a witch and she believes in horoscopes, witchcraft and things like that. I do believe she's the type who can make a really sad person to smile. Then there's Mrs. Fitzgerald, Alison's boss. She seemed like the motherly type. For some reason, she left me thinking that she cared for each and every woman she met through her agency, be they employees or women hiring her for different reasons. And many other characters that I won't talk about, because then I'll probably give some unwanted spoilers :P

There are some funny moments in this book too. I actually laughed out loud a few times.

I felt as though the ending wasn't exactly the way I had hoped it would be. There was some suspense regarding Alison's job and one of her marks and I was waiting for something more spectacular to happen. Then again, maybe it was the right ending for Alison, proving that not always you need a big "boom" at the end of a frightening experience. Though I did see Alison grow up as the story progressed.

Anyway, if you love chick lit, you might want to check this out. I know I really enjoyed reading this book!

An easy read, but strange and confusing at times. Who would admit to need an abandoned baby and the who would agree to look for one...
Not a book I would have picked for myself to read.
But that's the bbeauty of BookCrossing: one reads "out of the box" from time to time. ( )

Smith has a keen eye for material details, but her prose is lucid and uncluttered by heavy description. Imagine a satire on Cool Britannia made by the Coen Brothers.
ajouté par emperorsclothes | modifierTimes Literary Supplement
 
This is a novel in which the ordinary and the unusual are constantly juxtaposed in various idiosyncratic characters… Its airy quirkiness is a delight.

A screwball comedy that really works.
ajouté par emperorsclothes | modifierThe Independent
 
Only occasionally does a piece of fiction leap out and demand immediate cult status. Alison Wonderland is one…Smith is at the very least a minor phenomenon.
ajouté par emperorsclothes | modifierThe Times
 
Smith’s second novel has a comic style with a clear, simple, buoyant prose.
