Customer Reviews

beautifully written alice in wonderland spin off

i love this book! it implemented elements from the originally story and added a fresh spin on the tale.

Great adventure

Really enjoyed the story line. Was an interesting twist from the original storyline. Bought 3 more of the series can't wait to get into them.

My Favorite Comfort Series

Once I picked up this book I found it insanely hard to put down. I have read a lot of retellings of Alice in Wonderland and this one by far is my favorite. I have recommended this series to all my friends. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves Alice in Wonderland.

Disappointed

No jacket? It could've been told in the description. Disappointed.

Yaaaasss

Loooove it!!

This book was absolutely amazing. I loved it!

Splintered is an amazing, twisted version of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This book was different and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the Young Adult Genre. I really liked how each of the characters had entirely different personalities with different experiences and complicated relationships with each other. I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series!

Great condition

I love this whole series. The twist on an old classic is well done. Alyssa's struggles are well written and well paced. You feel for all the characters, even the antagonists.

This is the best book I have ever read!!!!!!

Highly Addictive! My new favorite book!

This is a great twist on Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland". Alyssa is Alice (in wonderland) Great great great granddaughter & she has to undo the curse of the family. Highly recommend this book if you like twists & turns with a little romance thrown in. I've got a couple more chapters to go but I ordered the next book of the series yesterday. It's so addicting! Also this is a huge plus with me, but the printing is in purple which doesn't hurt my eyes like regular black and white printing. That made me even more happier to discover that! ☺💜💜☺ I wish more book companies would print books in purple ink so it's easier to read!

My favorite ever story world

When I get bored of other books I pick up my beat up version of "Splintered" and re-read the whole book. The world of Wonderland gets a whole new approach and this book makes it to where more people relate. Alyssa is a strong character who I wish I was more like in the long run. Not only that but the whole story pulls me in and the world around me disapears. I love to live through the charaecters in this book.
