3.0

I knew this book wasn't going to be stellar as it was self published, but I had to read it because I'm obsessed with Alice in Wonderland. To be fair, it mostly exceeded my fairly low expectations. The best part of the book, unfortunately, was the introduction, which was fairly short. I wish the rest of the stories were written at the same level, but most of them were fairly readable, regardless. My biggest complaint is that in every single short story Alice's issues are resolved by finding a guy. Every. Single. One. Not at all in the spirit of the original Alice who was absolutely independent and had her own adventure without a guy to be seen. Additionally, I really don't like sci fi, which is not the authors' fault of course, but the only decently written story was sci fi (Wormhole to Wonderland). I'm still going to give this 3 stars bc I'm in love with Alice in Wonderland and there were some decent quotes.
