White Rabbit, by Stuart Oldfield, is four books crammed into one and is a story about a man named Simon who seems to be in some alternate reality where he has no recollection of his life.  The story starts out normal enough where Simon goes to his ex-wife's house to see his daughter for her birthday.  His daughter has a pet rabbit named Loofah.  After leaving the house, Simon pulls over on the side of the road feeling slightly depressed.  Simon is then pulled into this alternate reality/universe where he has no recollection of his name.  The only name he can seem to remember is that of his daughter's rabbit, Loofah.  He feels that this must be his name, seeing as it's the name he remembers.  This alternate place is very strange, but very detailed by the author.  Signs don't simply have words on them, but rather letters that swim around and have to be convinced to spell out what they are supposed to say.  There are plants that are sexually active and even molest people, as well as talking dogs that dress in uniforms.  The whole story is all very weird, but intriguing!  Loofah then learns that in order to go home, he must complete several task, each intensifying in the amount of danger they pose.I absolutely was drawn into this story.  Though it is very long, it's still an easy read.  I found myself reading for hours on end just because I was sucked into the descriptions of strangeness.  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the Alice in Wonderland type of story, but be prepared to questions the riddles and puzzles that are thrown Loofah's way.  I really liked the flow of the story and felt that the author did a great job and painting this strange world into a great picture for his audience!  I would definitely read more by this author!
