PaperbackReader reviewed Alice by Christina Henry
Review of 'Alice' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
As a reimagining of the classic Lewis Carroll story, I found it fairly interesting. The layers of anticipation that came with each character's naming was amusing, and watching Alice contend with unknown persons with well-known titles was actually rather fun.
Where the experience failed me was when I realized that without the "Alice Through the Looking Glass" trappings, the story itself wasn't as compelling. Had it not been billed as an Alice retelling, I might not have picked it up, let alone enjoyed it.
