Wonderland

De: Miranda Renae

Kaleb "Rabbit" White hates everything about his life, especially his job at Red Queen Inc. He had plans to quit until a dangerous experiment went wrong, killing an entire room full of people....

Except for one.

Alice.

It’s been four years since Alice contracted the virus that killed so many others. She's secretly weathering its strange side effects, and trying to overcome her past and live like a normal college student. But one day Kaleb leaves Alice a note with a single word:

“Run.”

Alice needs answers. Kaleb wants to protect her. Trapped inside Red Queen Inc. and hunted by its loyalists, they must work together to find a way out. But first, Alice needs to find the cure.

ends on a cliffhanger

Not quite what I expected from the synopsis, but not bad. FYI It does kind of end on a cliffhanger though, it that's the sort of ending that bothers you.

Meh, with annoying narration

It's ok for the story to be messed up, because Alice..
The narration had me banging my head against the wall. Every word ending in ing was pronounced een.
"Red Queen Inc" was Red Queen Eeenk. Think =theenk. Just horrible.

Can't take it.

I would have hoped that one of the core requirements to be a reader for an audiobook be that you pronounce the words correctly. I cannot listen to this person. The story isn't very interesting to begin with. But the reader is too slow and mispronounces words. e.g. "tie-end" instead of "tightened."

Modern Day Alice in Wonderland

Clever, modern spin to the "Alice in Wonderland" story. I think it would be most enjoyed by a teen/young adult audience. The story builds up to the sequel. I probably won't read/listen to it, but younger readers might enjoy the series. The narrator's enunciation was just a little bit off-putting. She was one of those that do not pronounce the letter t if it is in the middle of a word. So "mitten" is pronounced "MIH-en", "important" is pronounced "im-POR-unh", etc. She would pronounce "ruin" as "ru-een". A bit annoying. Other than that, she did a nice job narrating.

Alice in Wonderland meets Resident Evil. Good premise. Boring execution.

This book had all the potential, but the execution was so boring. Inner monologues, personal struggle, hidden feelings and struggle. The whole story was masked by these. An opportunity missed. I’m not suggesting I needed a complete absence of these; but give us a little bit of action! Move the story along. Have something interesting to say.

The story came second to the feelings of the individual characters and as a result the story that took place while people struggled with their feelings was lackluster.
