    			  The writing left a little something to be desired, but I am a firm believer that a good story full of imagination (see what I did there?) can overcome technical limitations. This is absolutely one of those stories. I could see every location and every imagination action so vividly. I was not an &quot;Alice in wonderland&quot; fan to any degree before this book, but I might have to read it to reinforce a few things. But don't get me wrong, this book most definitely stands on its own. My only concern is that the end (last 70 pages or so) felt a bit rushed. Another 20 pages to pace out the end better would not have been a bad thing. All I know is that I can't wait to get a copy of <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/289695.Seeing_Redd_The_Looking_Glass_Wars_Book_2_" title="Seeing Redd (The Looking Glass Wars, Book 2) by Frank Beddor">Seeing Redd</a> to continue the series.

  	&quot;Everyone thought she had made it up, and she had tolerated more taunting from other children, more lectures and punishments from grown-ups, than any eleven-year-old should have to bear.&quot; - <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44170.The_Looking_Glass_Wars_Book_1_" title="The Looking Glass Wars (Book 1) by Frank Beddor">The Looking Glass Wars</a>.<br/><br/>Not my favorite first line, but what I am currently reading.

  	An Abundance of Katherines is not John Green's best, but I actually liked it. It's certainly no Paper Towns.

  	Hmm, I plan out my reading list very carefully several books ahead and right about 90% of the way through whatever my current read is I buy a new book and blow off my list. Then I get to a point where I can't decide what book to buy and just yank one of the new unread ones off the shelf. Perfect way to handle it for the scatterbrained like myself.
