This book was love at first sight for me<3! The cover was absolutely enchanting. The title did come off as a bit odd for me, but I was defiantly intrigued. This book was nothing like I thought it would be; to be honest I expected less out of it. I'm so glad that the book proved me wrong! The author did a marvelous job on the characters and the plot has such interesting twist and turns. I even shared it with a friend and we are now both obsessed with this white rabbit chronicles. This book does mostly depend on your tastes, though I do believe it ATLEAST deserve a chance!!!

I was really interested in the twist and from my friend’s raving reviews! Though unfortunately I lost interest and couldn’t bring myself to finish this book, it just didn’t live up to what I expected it to be. It seemed more of a rehash of mediocre early 2010s books instead of a creative yet dark twist on the beloved: Alice in Wonderland.

Wow! So good! The beginning was a bit slow but I suppose it was to explain everything. Then the second half took off! Zombies, bad guys, good guys, visions--oh yeah, I'm ready for book 2! But like, in a couple of days. I need to calm down!

I was pleasantly surprised how Ms. Showalter made a fresh version of the Zombie tale so enticing, dark and still humorous. I was expecting a Alice in Wonderland type fairy tale but it was not that at all. I found the first 50 pages a bit dull and almost dropped the book. But then something tugged at my interest and never let go throughout the rest of the book. I should have know better I have enjoyed many of her other works I've read.
I loved her realistic characters with their real-life flaws.the way they interacted with each other was realistic as well, no Insta-love, insta-trust, ints a-ok after a terrible event. It was a treat to able to believe in their actions.
The zombie are so evil, rotten and have some new qualities that will make anyone cringe. Throw out your preconceived notions these guys are their own kind of nasty. Omg they stink, rot !
Our heroine is not the glassy eyed sweet victim. No, Alice/Ali can kick but, slice and dice and light a fire too. She has a love interest, well maybe two but it is not the most impotent thing for her to deal with and she knows it.
I am going to keep going with this series. I really liked it.

I will admit, when I first saw this title I thought the world of Wonderland but after reading some reviews I found out that was not the case. with that readjusted mindset, I was able to enjoy this book very much. it was definitely a new and original twist on zombies. the building up to the climax seemed to be much slower paced than the climax itself. up until the last few chapters I was like ''ok but whats the conflict? what's the problem?'' and the 'bad guys' kinda come out of nowhere like it barely spent time building up to that it was just kind of, thrown at us. overall I'm pleased and will be reading the following books.

This was just fun. There were (as always) a few things that triggered the critical side of my brain, but the fun of this story and the characters was so much stronger than the few hiccups I ran into. Ali, Kat, Cole, Frosty, Mackenzie...all the characters were interesting and fun. The dialogue was snappy and realistic. The twist on zombies was new (I haven't read a lot of zombie books, but I'm pretty sure this is original). The romantic parts were both romantic and humorous.

I should probably be more specific, but honestly, this was pure fun for me and I'll probably be buying the sequel today.

This book started out really strong. I was very excited to see what happens next. UNTIL it turned into boyfriend drama! I didn't finish it because i couldn't take it!

This started off really good, and managed to have a pretty creepy atmosphere. But once she joins the zombie hunter group, I lost a bit of interest. I also don't really care for the romantic interest all that much.
