2.5

Very gruesome book that has barely anything to do with the original Alice in wonderland story. 

The book is so gruesome that often I got actually sick from how specific things were described 


The writing however is great and the ending sentence was enjoyable. Thus a 2.5 star.

This is a very dark, clever adaptation of Alice. I would say, also, that it is not for the light reader though. Expect horror and very traumatic themes.
