I'm sorry the blog went silent for practically a week, but we were both very busy. And as for me, my week was a busy reading week. I just finished The Assassin's Blade and Crown of Midnight, and they were both amazing. And while revising my review, I thought you would like to know about another book I just read... which is Alice. And it was not in a rather normal and not-exciting copy, oh no!
Oh yes people! A nice, manga-style book! Booyah :)
Now with the actual review...
Goodreads Synopsis:
Bored on a hot afternoon, Alice, a bright and inquisitive child, follows a white rabbit down a rabbit-hole, and finds herself in Wonderland, a very odd place indeed. This unique story mixes satire and puzzles, comedy and anxiety, Mock Turtles and Gryphos to provide an astute description of the experience of childhood.
Lewis Carroll's beloved and witty story was made into an animated film by Disney in 1951. It is also the inspiration for Tim Burton's 2010 film where an adult Alice returns to the peculiar world she discovered as a child. The film features Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway among a cast of British stars.

My Review:
Rating: 5/5 Stars.
Read from: 23 to 24 November
That. Was. Completely. INSANE!
Well, this book for sure was not like the shortened versions I've read at all! I really enjoyed it, and at times it was hard to believe that everything did happen to that little 7 years old!
I won't lie; I laughed a lot, and maybe more than I should have. The plot was so intriguing and senseless at times but it was very enjoyable!
What I think made me appreciate the book more is the fact that I've bought this gorgeous edition, which contained a lot of manga-styled illustrations.
As for Alice, she sure is a very curious and talkative girl, but I really like how she reflected little 7 years old girls (I could easily see myself or my little sister in her).
I don't regret reading this book when I was supposed to read something else, but hey, you can't really blame me... I'm on holiday! *dances like crazy*
