What can I say about this book? It's AMAZING, duh! This is the second book that I've read that takes on the story of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, the first being Alice in Zombieland. In my opinion, I liked this one more. Howard creates a world of fantasy and adventure and the writing style makes you believe what you're reading is real.

All I know is that I want Morpheus. All I know is that if she doesn't end up with him, I will be sad.
what I also know is this is a very, very unique book. I loved it from beginning to end. except that I want her to be with Morpheus.
As a Shatter Me fan, I have to say the love triangle of good boy vs bad is sorta familiar--especially with the scene where Alyssa kisses Morph just to get her wish like Juliette did for Warner's gun. Anyway, I vote Bad Boy all the way because they make life more inter ...more
