DNF at 50%....because I just couldn't find another "duck to give" (1). With this one star rating, I am not trying to say that this is an horrible book. It isn't...it just ends up being the typical YA book, in which the plot ends up acting as an ornament for an inane romance. The characters are pre...
I was surprised about my reaction to this book. I really thought I would love it and, at first, I did. I love retellings that really twist the source material. I was excited for a darker, more demented Wonderland. Everything in the beginning seemed to be pointing that direction so I was absorbed ...
I read this book just a few days after having read [b:Alice in Wonderland|13023|Alice in Wonderland (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland #1)|Lewis Carroll|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1391458382s/13023.jpg|2933712] and [b:Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There|83346|Through the Looking-...
Hearing the thoughts of plants and insects can be a bit unsettling for Alyssa Gardner, especially if it means she may eventually follow in the crazed footsteps of her matrilineal relations. In a desperate attempt to rid her family of their curse, Alyssa decides to take things into her own hands and...
I like to read as many variations of Alice in Wonderland as possible. I liked this darker take on the classic story. Alyssa is hearing voices from flowers and bugs. Her mom is in an asylum drinking everything out of teacups and talking to flowers and bugs. The boy she loves next door is dating the g...
I was tethering between 2 and 2.5 on this one, but finally opted for the bigger one because 1) the cover-art, which we all know is stunning, is also an amp to help imagining the various pictures the author paints and 2) I've always found the darker side of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland oddly appe...
I tried and tried. This is one of those books that started out so-so, but I was somewhat intrigued. Next thing I know, I've renewed the story with the library until I hit my limit. Each page has been a struggle for me. I'm 60 pages from the end and I'm calling it quits. I kept trying, but there's a ...
My Initial Reaction... I LOVED the narration. I REALLY LIKED the parts in our world. I was SO BORED in Wonderland. :( After all the hype surrounding Splintered I had high hopes and even got started off on a great note. But Wonderland just didn't do it for me. The Narration... Rebecca Gibel's narrati...
My emotions were kind of all over the place when it came to this book. There were many things I liked: 1. The main story; I loved the premise of Alice's descendants being alive and having to go back to wonderland to fix all the things that she did wrong. It was so interesting to see the difference...
I loved Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as a kid. I equally enjoyed Frank Beddor's The Looking Glass Wars. Splintered is a wonderful addition to reimaginings of Carroll's original. I truly enjoyed this adventure. Alyssa is a strong and capable character who is treated as if she's fragile. It easy t...
