After Alice: A Novel | Gregory Maguire
post image

Ada brings to Wonderland her own imperfect apprehension of cause and effect as she embarks on an odyssey to find Alice and see her safely home from this surreal world below the world. If Eurydice can ever be returned to the arms of Orpheus, or Lazarus can be raised from the tomb, perhaps Alice can be returned to life.

This was required reading for my son's English class, so I read it with him. I was disappointed it wasn't more to our liking. There were too many details that were supposed to be clever that had me rolling my eyes. The worst thing, for me, was the White Rabbit being reimagined as Bibwit Harte (which is a terrible and unnecessary anagram), who is a large-earred albino.

I have been slacking on my #aliceinwonderlandretelling challenge so I decided to double up this month. This one 1) has made it onto my keeper bookcase 2) was inhaled in less than a day and 3) will be in the top 20 of favorite books read this year. Yes, I know ita only May but still! Great twists on the original story and I loved all the characters. Book 1 in a series and yes I'll be reading the rest for sure!

To be fair this author is quirky in his takes of different stories and Alice in Wonderland (one of my favorite stories!) Is already a trip but with this one it gets curiouser and curiouser. This is from the POV of Ada a character briefly mentioned in the original story...Alice's friend to be exact. Suspend disbelief and enjoy the ride is my suggestion if you decide to pick this one up. #bookspin #aliceinwonderlandretelling @TheAromaofBooks

Were there a god in charge of story—I mean one cut to Old Testament specifics, some hybrid of Zeus and Father Christmas—such a creature, such a deity, might be looking down upon a day opening in Oxford, England, a bit past the half-way mark of the nineteenth century.

I enjoyed this book, and it was a quick read. It was also different than what I was expecting it to be, but it was a good different.

Alice I Have Been: A Novel | Melanie Benjamin

Mehso-so

I was just “meh” on this one, not because of the somewhat controversial subject matter, but because it just seemed too slow-moving and it dragged for me. I was ready to move on after about halfway through, but I kept going until the end. I mostly enjoy Melanie Benjamin, but this one wasn‘t my fave.
