Review Detail

I'm a huge fan of analogies. Why? They are perfect for those who feel that they're too busy or have the time to read a novel.

What worked: This is a fun collection of shorts based on an Alice in Wonderland theme.

Some examples: ALICE AT WOODSTOCK by Shari Green has her Alice part of MAD CAT, a rock group only she gets dumped the day before a tour. Add a mystical album that transports her back to Woodstock and you have a very engaging surreal tale.

WHITE RABBIT RX by Denise Jaden has a pharmacist with an experimental drug called White Rabbit that he prescribes to Alice, who wants to lose weight. Fun twists that also include a high school named Hatter High. Well, Alice, should have known better to trust anyone with a med called White Rabbit to help with losing weight. A true case on being careful for what you wish for!

WORMHOLE TO WONDERLAND by Kitty Keswick is a futuristic twist on Alice in Wonderland with a girl chosen as an embryo to be one of twelve to inhabit a new world. There's a little backstory on the story Alice in Wonderland and then we watch as the futuristic Alice has her falling in a hole while following a white rabbit and being chased by R.E.D. Q.U.E.E.N. Lots of fun twists and turns in this short that brings new magic to an ageless tale.

There's two other shorts in this collection that make this analogy a must read for fans of Alice in Wonderland or those who enjoy twists on classic tales.
