<b><i>I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.</i></b>
<i>Lost in Wonderland</i> has got to be one of the weirdest books I’ve ever read, and if I’ve read a weirder book than this one, then this is the weirdest book I’ve read this year.

Okay, the book’s weirdness is what intrigued me to read the book in the first place. But let me say just how weird this book really is:

The book starts with a character named Mouse. Honestly, I thought the book started with a legit mouse (it really sounded like one as well). A flipping <i>mouse</i>! Who starts a book with a mouse?! Really, I just got so confused for awhile at the very beginning, so to save everyone else’s sanity, the main character is not actually a mouse.

It’s a reference to some of the characters involved in Lewis Carroll’s <i>Alice In Wonderland</i>. After that got cleared out, the plot actually made a lot more sense. (Let’s also keep in mind that I do not remember the synopsis of a book. I read it, I find it interesting, I get the book myself, and then actually read the book. Maybe I’ll remember the synopsis if I’m lucky.)

But anyways, <i>Lost In Wonderland</i> is extremely weird. As in, top of the notch weird. It’s disturbing and gruesome and twisted. But it’s such a good kind of weird, that I think this entire series would be a really cool TV show. <i>Lost In Wonderland</i> is basically Law &amp; Order, CSI - just think of any crime related shows - with a fairy tale twist. I just can’t get how awesome this would be on an actual screen, and I just want to see if Peacock incorporates any other fairy tales or just <i>Alice In Wonderland</i>.

80's Classic
Often has the mickey taken out of it, but an enjoyable fun film about overcoming the odds. It was very popular when I was a kid. A classic!

Great movie
Hard to have a bad thing to say about a vampire movie with some of the 80's best young actors. Feldman and Haim along with Sutherland make it a multiple watch flick for me.

Baby Driver is a special treat. The rare cinematic experience brimming with the kind of originality and verve championed back in the 70’s.

In my opinion, this was the best Batman movie ever made. The performances, the direction and sheer comical effects, truly grabbed the gritty nature of the comic book hero, for a late 80's production.

The Late Michael Crichton's entry into the eco-thriller genre, which I'm sure would have been (and probably still is) pretty controversial on it' s release, as he essentially builds a story round disproving the supposed(?) dangers of Global Warning.

Not that funn
Very dated early 90's comedy
One of Sandra Bullock's earlier films. It's a tried and tested plot that has been done before. Looks very dated now and not many laughs to be had.
