If you've already read the original 'Alice in Wonderland,' you are already 90% done with 'Alice in Zombieland.' In fact, Cook changed very few elements of the story--he didn't add to the story--he merely threw Lewis Carroll's masterpiece into a text editor and changed the names of the characters and added new description details.

I mean, you, the simple reader could do the same as Cook with limited thought. Go to project [...], search 'Alice in Wonderland,' load it onto your computer, copy the words into your word processor, now, search the name of a character and insert the new menacing name. Don't worry if you miss a few entries. Cook doesn't. His book is riddled with mistakes, such as Mock Turtle who becomes Corpse Turtle, and then mistakenly becomes Mock Turtle again--one small example.

If you are a Seth Grahame-Smith fan, avoid 'Alice in Zombieland.' Seth G. revamped 'Pride and Prejudice' with new scenes, he didn't just rename characters and food ("tarts" become "meat pies"). And Cook, if you read this, I want my money back. Oh, my toddler is now rewriting Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol' using your technique. So far, we've surpassed you in character renaming and minor description changes.

This book is terrible. If you've read the original there really is no point. It seems like the writer decided to cash in on a fad and this is the result. What a waste of time.

This book is totally bootleg. If you are expecting something similar to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, DON'T BUY THIS. The illustrations are terrible as is the story. I couldn't even finish it.

I read this book and enjoyed it. What I look for in zombie books is originality. I thought that is was a cute story, and if you are a zombie book lover will enjoy this. I think the authors had a good idea of doing a spin off of Alice in Wonderland zombie style. I looked at some of the reviews and felt that they were a little harsh because this book was written for fun, and entertainment not to copy the original.

I felt like this was written by a someone who has never read the original.
