Really dark Alice in Wonderland retelling

So I may be slightly biased since I love anything Alice and Wonderland related. But this is by far the best retelling of the original Lewis Carol story.

Disturbing and dark this book doesn't pussyfoot around some controversial subjects. However, it is able to steer away from anything crude while still being adult and gory.

This isn't a book for the faint-hearted with some wonderful but graphic descriptions. However, if you like dark and gothic definitely give this a try.

Too wordy and tends to drag (0 more)

A beautiful masterpiece

Jane Eyre is a masterpiece because of its Gothic fairytale feel in the atmosphere of Thornfield and its strong, complex characters including the quiet, independent Jane and Rochester who was dark and moody yet longing for companionship. Even though I give it A+ it tends to be wordy and drag at the end espically the scenes with St. John Rivers. Despite all that Jane Eyre is a beautiful complex story worth reading.

I'm a little unsure what to say about this book. It's very well written and it's a great little gothic novel, with a great setting in Lancashire during the time of the Pendle witches. Fleetwood is an endearing if not slightly irrational protagonist and mostly likeable, although I do think some of the other characters were a little underdeveloped. This is just an all round very good and well written novel that I struggled to put down, even if the plot wasn't exactly unpredictable.
