Alice

By: Christina Henry

Narrated by: Jenny Sterlin

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.

Not your typical Alice

Really enjoyed this book towards 50% it really started to pick up and it became more dark. Darker than I expected! Looking forward to more works by Christina Henry!

Very Enjoyable

Any additional comments?

I love the story of Alice in Wonderland and I love when fairytales are retold. Even so, I was skeptical about the retelling of one of my favorite stories. I ended up liking this book very much and have already started listening to "Red Qeen." Also, the narration is good.

Great Story!

I enjoyed the bit of childish fiction mixed with adult themes. You can take a lot away from this book if you open your mind while reading it. It's an adventure and keeps you guessing what will come next !

Great Performance! Story Good, hard to follow!

Very different take on Alice, creative, love the performance. Characters are very creative and worthy.

Great book

There are things about the book (last 1/4) I wish had been structured differently (won’t say any more there) BUT I still really liked this book. The voice actor is wonderful.
