Alice

This dark adult remaining of the story you grew up knowing is a very INTERESTING thing. Read it and find out why. I know that it is rude of me to not say more, but if I tell you more than this, it would ruin the adventure. I was intrigued by all the characters of this world. It has a slow build but once you are in the thick of it there will be the need to know more.

This was quite the interesting twist on Alice in Wonderland. My first audiobook from Christina Henry was Lost Boy, which I absolutely loved. Her way of writing a dark retelling is bizarre and unique. This story is violent, disturbing, menacing, and nightmarish. While the names/characters are the same as Alice, the characters are much more monstrous. I love Alice and Hatcher’s friendship. After spending so many years locked away in an asylum with only each other for solace, their bond is deep and unique. I didn’t love it as much as Lost Boy, but it was still enthralling and worth the listen. Jenny Sterlin was cast perfectly for this role. Her timing, pitch, pace, and tone was perfect. Her accents and characterizations were spot on. I absolutely love her voice. She gives it a Victorian feel, making the listening experience that much more fascinating. I highly recommend the audiobook version of Alice.

I absolutely loved Christina Henry's version of Alice. I love the unexpected twists Alice and her love Mad Hatcher encounter on their way all along still having a feeling of the classic fairytale afterall. I'm excited to see if the sequel continues to be just as good. Definitely a Must Read & I'd Definitely Recommend it to My Family & Friends (in fact my sister just started reading Alice herself lol).
