Sounds like it's based on American McGee's Alice game, is it?

Lorelei As a person who loves that game series, I am very pleased to say that this book is not based off of the games. It's amazing in it's own unique way.…moreAs a person who loves that game series, I am very pleased to say that this book is not based off of the games. It's amazing in it's own unique way.(less)

I am about half way through, i think it is very shallow and one dimensional, Alice and Hatch encounter something or someone and miraculously manage to do the one thing to escape that evil thing or person. Does it get better?

Lavi No. It is among the worst displays of telling rather than showing I have ever encountered in literature. It reads like fanfiction. The dialogue is aby…moreNo. It is among the worst displays of telling rather than showing I have ever encountered in literature. It reads like fanfiction. The dialogue is abysmal. It bastardizes random characters from the classic work without a reason, because the way she perverts them is in no way tied to anything that would shine through after an analysis, no matter the point of view. I am almost at the end and all it is is Alice being shocked, Alice being saved by Hatcher, Alice being special and a lot of rape and abuse and prostitution. Therein lies the big "adult" twist. There is rape. So it's fanfiction with rape. My money has not been well spent. (less)

This sounds like a great read for my daughter. She loves Alice In Wonderland and all the re-boots..Is it age appropriate for a 14 year old?

Christina Henry No, it definitely not for teenagers. I wrote this as a very dark version for adults. Maybe in a few years!

Will the book also be available in Austria, Europe?

Christina Henry Titan Books is releasing ALICE in the UK, so it should be readily available in English. There are no translated editions of ALICE yet.
