-[[.. UNGRATEFUL ..]]-

Because i saw "Alice in Wonderland" by Tim Burton yesterday, i'm going to review the book "Alice in Wonderland" by C.S Lewis and the other take, the supposed real version of Alice in Wonderland by Frank Beddor!

<------------ C.S Lewis

Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-glass

Conceived by a shy British don on a golden afternoon to entertain ten-year-old Alice Liddell and her sisters, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderlandand Through the Looking-Glass have delighted generations of readers in more than eighty languages. “The clue to the enduring fascination and greatness of the Alice books,” writes A. S. Byatt in her Introduction, “lies in language. . . . It is play, and word-play, and its endless intriguing puzzles continue to reveal themselves long after we have ceased to be children.”

Even though everybody knows the story line and how it goes, it's still an enjoyable read, it's a very short story, but it's how it's written, how inventive it is. It's so different, a girl falling down a rabbit hole, that's not something you hear everyday!! But of course, it is like a kids story, so the older you get, it's less likely to entertain you the way it once did!!

  At first with "through the looking-glass" i was kind of confused, i wasn't so sure what was going on, but it does attach itself to the first book, but with most books if the first book was so amazing, whether it was the writing or the  story line, if there is a second book, it usually doesn't live up to the first book! Just the way it is!

  This is a cute book to read to your babies, younger sibling or younger nieces or something!

The Looking Glass Wars - Frank Beddor.

This book is supposed to be like the original Alice in Wonderland, like C.S Lewis just made a gimmick out of Alice's story. But really this book is just a story, and i actually loved it, it just amazed me! I was maybe 10 or something when i first read it though but i picked this book up again a couple of weeks ago and read it again, i didn't think it would be as good, as i was like 10 when i read it last, but it still gave me that thrill of reading it and i realised how much i loved the book in the first place!

  But only now, i've realized that there is a second and third book, so going to get those and read them and then i'll be back to review them!!! So hold on!!

The Myth: Alice was an ordinary girl who stepped through the looking glass and entered a fairy-tale world invented by Lewis Carroll in his famous storybook.

 The Truth: Wonderland is real. Alyss Heart is the heir to the throne, until her murderous aunt Redd steals the crown and kills Alyss' parents. To escape Redd, Alyss and her bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, must flee to our world through the Pool of Tears. But in the pool Alyss and Hatter are separated. Lost and alone in Victorian London, Alyss is befriended by an aspiring author to whom she tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. Yet he gets the story all wrong. Hatter Madigan knows the truth only too well, and he is searching every corner of our world to find the lost princess and return her to Wonderland so she may battle Redd for her rightful place as the Queen of Hearts.

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE,LOVE!! That is all i have to say! The summary says it all really, how supposedly C.S Lewis got the story wrong! Like if you liked C.S Lewis's Alice in Wonderland, you'll really like this book!! :)

  It might not be to everyone's taste, but i do recommend this book!!! It's very enjoyable!!
