A mind-bending new novel inspired by the twisted and wondrous works of Lewis Carroll....

In a warren of crumbling buildings and desperate people called the Old City, there stands a hospital with cinderblock walls that echo the screams of the poor souls inside. In the hospital, there is a woman. Her hair, once blond, hangs in tangles down her back. She doesn't remember why she's in such a terrible place. Just a tea party long ago, and long ears, and blood.

Then, one night, a fire at the hospital gives the woman a chance to escape, tumbling out of the hole that imprisoned her, leaving her free to uncover the truth about what happened to her all those years ago. Only something else has escaped with her. Something dark. Something powerful. And to find the truth, she will have to track this beast to the very heart of the Old City, where the rabbit waits for his Alice.

loved the story, though I struggled with the narration at times. luckily the story was compelling enough to convince me to suffer through the lame attempts at character voices.

great story!

I enjoyed this so much that before it ended I ordered two copies for each of my daughters. although I wish they could listen since the narrator did an excellent job. This one I will hear again.

Loved it!

I was a little nervous purchasing this book as quite a few of the reviews referred to it as very dark. I must say, some of chapters describe events in very graphic terms but had the author not included such detail, the story would not have had the same impact. I enjoyed the parallels between the original story and Christiana Henry's version - it is fun to listen for them. The narrator, Jenny Sterlin was great and added to the experience.

Enjoy!!

The story moved along smoothly, I enjoyed listening to the narrator. The distortion of the characters as not perfect, fits this world completely.

dark but very entertaining...

I loved this interpretation of Alice in Wonderland! The usual characters were all there with a twist to each of them.

Super Fun Interpretation!

A fresh and interesting take on Alice. Be warned: it was violent and rough, in many ways. This is not a children's tale. Violence, blood, violence toward women. You don't feel any sympathy for some of the people who die. Others break your heart. Overall a good tale that I expect that I'll relisten to a few times.

Better than I expected

Enjoyable! It was hard to stop listening as I always wanted to know what happens next. It was a little bit heavy in some areas so may trigger some people but overall enjoyable if you're looking for a very different twist on a classic. Definitely keeping this one around as I'd give it another listen down the road. Not your traditional Alice! AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

Good, relatively quick read.

In this take on the classic, Alice’s land trades in wonder for murder, mayhem, depravity, rape and sexual sadism. Surprisingly entertaining! Not nearly as creepy as it should have been. Certainly not for the squeamish, but really quite good.

Gripping

Like most reviewers, I was surprised at the dark treatment of such a classic work.
However, it tickled the morbid side of my soul, and find it to be the most fun book I've read
in a couple years. An excellent offering !
The book took off quick, and maintained the pace throughout.
One could nit-pick a few weaknesses in the storyline, but it was more than compensated for
by the world class narration. A stellar performance by Jenny Sterlin !!!
I am elated that I took a chance on this production.
Now, off to see the Red Queen.....

On a side note....In 2000, American McGee relaesed a video game also named Alice.
The two compliment each other well.



A Most Delightful Tale.....

I was a fan of some of Christina Henry’s other books... Lost Boy and The Mermaid, but this story really fell short for me. It started off great but just had too many characters that jumbled up the story and was hard to follow. Wasn’t the worst book but I would not recommend. The author did a fairly good job of trying to change voices for the many characters but that also was a daunting task due to the number of characters.

Just Okay
