James
Riggs is a guy letting his boss and his fiancé boss him around. One evening his
fiancé gets upset about a chess set he purchased when he promised to give up
the ‘silly game’ and then his boss calls to tell him he has to cancel his
planned vacation to come into work and cover for him. She kicks him out and he
walks to his old friend’s apartment to stay the night there. However, just
after he gets there a strange man comes to the apartment, murders his friend
then chases James out to the street where a yet another strange man in a white
suit grabs him and sends him down a hole into Wonderland. That’s when things
get even stranger.
James
is now in Wonderland, but in a very different one than Alice
I
haven’t read Alice in Wonderland in
um, *cough* many many years (let’s leave it at that) and I haven’t watched the
Disney® movie since the kids were little, so many of the references to the
original book were probably lost on me. However, I do remember enough to know
that this book is a clever take of a favorite tail. Well-written and
fast-paced, with a twisty plot, interesting world and likeable characters, I
enjoyed this book very much.
