Wonderfully whimsical and chaotic.

The classic story of "And then I woke up".

Characters: 2.5/3*
The characters were interesting to say the least. There's a reason so many people have tried to rip this story off. My main complaint was that a lot of the characters sounded the same. There was a lack of character exploration from the author that might in part have to do with the amount of characters and limited time to explore them.

Plot: 0.5/5*
This might seem a bit harsh, but this is my main problem with the book. What's the point. So I give points for the inciting incident she falls into a rabbit hole. What then? Is she trying to get home? Trying to solve some sort of conflict. All she does is wander around. It's a good thing it was short because I didn't know how much longer I would stay invested.

Conflict: 1/5*
I assume it was

the part in court where the queen of hearts says off with her head.

But again that moment isn't built up because the characters were all just introduced and it never seems that Alice is in any real peril. 

Setting: 5/5*
This is the reason the books gotten as much attention as it has. The world building is facinating. The author goes into just enough detail that you are hooked but not enough to bore you. This book is simply about exploring the authors fantastical world and honestly it was worth it.

Theme: 3.5/5
This book is chalked full of morels. From don't do drugs to the absurdity of the wealthy. It struggled to have a consistent overarching, but I did like the tie up at the end of keeping that childlike sense of wonder alive.

Overall Score: 2.5/5

I recommend this book to people who love interesting world building.

Poor Alice was lost in Carroll’s wondrous mind,
No matter what she did, it wasn't right!
She stretched as tall as trees
And shrunk so small — like a bloated flea. 

Bright Alice was too polite to make a stand
Against the Hatter and his wicked friends.
Longing to flee that lustrous land,
She never saw eye to eye with the Queen of Hearts.

Her bruises she rubbed and  planned a way to flee.
Escaping Carroll’s world, she jumped in awe —
But he penned a new story, oh what a pain!
Poor Alice had to start all over again.
