This is not like your childhood Alice in Wonderland. This brings it to a whole other level. I have to say that the beginning of this book almost had me putting it down and never picking it up again. I was a bit bored. I'm glad I held on and pushed through because eventually, it picked up and when it did it was awesome.I never read the original but I have seen the Tim Burton adaptation. So I sort of knew what to expect and yet this brings the story to a whole new level. Alice Hu just finished her first day at her brand new shoppe, The Cupcakery, She is closing when a strange woman comes in and takes her last two cupcakes, leaving a business card with a white rabbit. Alice is fascinated. She's always loved the book. When she finds herself actually in Wonderland she thinks she's lost her mind. Having been in love with the Hatter from the books since she was 13 she can't believe that she's face to face with him.I enjoyed the world so much. It was wonderfully descriptive and wildly captivating. It's a place I'd want to visit myself. Hatter was perfectly mad and charming at the same time. The perfect troubled hero. Although, I believe the heroine did the saving in this one.For me it started rough but by the ending I had tears in my eyes. I'm glad I powered through and made it to the end because it was wonderful!
