Took me a bit cause of school, I read about 3 stories per day, it was amazing though. Some of the stories are hardly recognizable as based off of Jabberwocky or Alice but they are wonderfully done. Some pull on the heartstrings and others are wild sci-fi adventures, there were references to the real word and history and it was just amazing.

My review was a bit nonsensical but it’s fitting as I have just read versions of Alice which was nonsense writing, so I suppose I just followed the style.

This is definitely one I will have to reread. Some of the stories were horrifyingly good! Some I didn’t care for!

This is a collection of short stories inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which obviously appealed to me straight away. Unfortunately I didn't love it, nor did I dislike it so to say.

Being a mix of short stories and poetry there were bound to be stories I liked and some I didn't, honestly I DID end up disliking more than I enjoyed. They were really quite odd which don't get me wrong, isn't a bad thing, but some were just too odd and I struggled to understand them or get my head around them.

I did however particularly enjoy a couple of stories, including: Wonders never cease, Dream girl, Good dog, Alice! And Eat me, drink me. I liked the fact that some were humerus, some were creepy and some were just odd in a way that I actually quite enjoyed.
