The Looking Glass Wars - Frank Beddor

[Sammiie in Wonderland]

i dont know if anyone else has read this book, but it definately one of my favourite books..EVER

its supposed to be the original tale of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, but she lives in a different world where imagination controls everything and its sooo hard to descibe. heres the description on the abck of the book:

MURDER. BLOODSHED. WAR
the true story of wonderland..
Alyss was destined to become Wonderland's beloved Queen. Until her life was shattered. Seeing her parents killed she seeks refuge in our world. years later she returns. her evil aunt now rules the land. shrieking seekers command the air. and deep in the darkness something far more frightening is watching. and waiting. purring with anticipation...

honestly, if you like alice in wonderland, this book is the s**t (pardon my language)

yes "alyss" was spelled thats way on purpose.
in this book, she tells one man in our world her story, and he turns it into the famous alice in wonderland that we all know.

Actually there's a forum devoted to this book here, so this topic will probably be moved.

Anyways, I haven't read it yet, I know people say its awesome but I love the original AiW and I'm unsure whether I'd like this book.

Probably will end up reading it anyway though. XD

No worries, I'll move the topic. ^-^ And yes, I absolutely love these books! Beddor's writing sometimes leans toward the graphic novel-esque (lots of onomatopoeia, and descriptions full of comparisons to objects/creatures/etc. in our world for an easy picture) but it works well with the story. The books get quite intense at points... such fun! <3

Huh... you know Night-Night, I'd never thought about it like that, but you're right. Good thing I'm not an English major, or I'd be ashamed of myself. XD

I've read TLGW four times, Seeing Redd twice, and have yet to read Arch Enemy. I like how Beddor integrates his own imagination of creatures and things into the book, although the concept of crystals kind of confuses me...

Ah! I so want to read the graphic novel! The Hatter was tied for my favorite character! The Cat is my other favorite. Me and my friend felt so bad the the Cat never get a real name, we either call him Lovino or Feliciano! heart heart heart

I was so sad when I saw that the library did not have the sequel. This book was by far the greatest twist off of Alice I had ever laid eyes upon....personally I love Molly and her cool, weapon weilding hat. But I totally hated Redd straight up after just a sentence about her I was like "Yeah....she needs to get a life." This would be a very interesting anime or movie...very bloody I guess in the beginning.
