Brief of "Alice in Deadland" Kindle Book :
The sensational Amazon.com bestseller. #1 Science Fiction and Horror bestseller. More than 50,000 copies sold in less than three months.

Civilization as we know it ended more than fifteen years ago, leaving as it's legacy barren wastelands called the Deadland and a new terror for the humans who survived- hordes of undead Biters.

Fifteen year-old Alice has spent her entire life in the Deadland, her education consisting of how best to use guns and knives in the ongoing war for survival against the Biters. One day, Alice spots a Biter disappearing into a hole in the ground and follows it, in search of fabled underground Biter bases.

What Alice discovers there propels her into an action-packed adventure that changes her life and that of all humans in the Deadland forever. An adventure where she learns the terrible conspiracy behind the ruin of humanity, the truth behind the origin of the Biters, and the prophecy the mysterious Biter Queen believes Alice is destined to fulfill.

A prophecy based on the charred remains of the last book in the Deadland- a book called Alice in Wonderland.

Author needs a couple creative writing courses under his belt.


By S. Estey

Alice In Wonderland is my favourite story. Zombies are my new favourite genre. Naturally, I would choose this book, especially after seeing its 4 Star rating. All I can really say is, Yikes! Alice In Deadland is amateurish. The writing is SO repetitive. When I read a certain phrase or combination of words multiple times within a couple of pages, you've already lost me.

There is no intrigue in this story. I consider myself a trooper when it comes to books. I give them all a fair shake and rarely force myself to stop reading - in for a penny... - but this read is taxing. No plot or character development AT ALL. The phrasing is just weird, the grammar sucks, there are a ton of typos. And if you want your zombies to be sympathetic characters, give them at least one redeeming quality! Don't just tell your audience that everyone's equal, so there. Make us want to like them. Example: Hater, by David Moody. This story is told from the perspective of the changed and the unchanged. While not exactly a zombie story, you do find yourself having compassion for the "others".

All that being said, the one thing I find unforgivable in a published novel is lack of research. If you've taken the time to write a novel, do yourself a favor and have the story make sense. Check your facts, however minor to the plot they might seem. The story needs to be logical, not just convenient and easy.

You get what you paid for


By A. Woodworth

I wasn't honestly expecting much with a 99 cent book, and I wasn't wrong. I give the author credit for the idea; it's mostly original but its execution is, simply put, poor. There are several issues with this book but I'll address the main two here.

1) Writing
The author is almost certainly one of those people who, since they write technical manuals for a living, think they can write fiction. His dialog is stilted, unrealistic and conveys no emotion. Perfect example: location 1847, where a soldier who has captured the protagonist says (in all its grammatical glory)" 'Talk to me! I'm in charge here and are you are my prisoner.' " Location 527-ish: "Alice could take it no longer and blurted out." Contractions seem to have disappeared as well as civilization in this book. In addition to distractingly putting commas in all the wrong places, any and all statements made by characters are ended with a period, nearly without exception. Anyone with rudimentary grammatical knowledge will actually have to read the sentences several times to figure out what the author intended to say. This is not a `Kindle ruined my formatting' issue, this is an `I have no idea how to properly form a sentence' issue.
To make matters worse, the author has no idea how to develop character or even allow the reader to construct the character mentally. His descriptions are dry and uninteresting, beating any possible dead horse they can find: (loc. 370-ish)" She opened it and took out her water bottle, draining it as she drank every last drop there. " Was that really necessary? There is no economy of words or joy in description that causes the reader to connect with the story; it's all the joyless and bland descriptions that you would expect to read if you were looking through a technical manual. To the reader with any sense of imagination at all, it's awful.

2) Logic and Flow
I'm more than willing to suspend belief for the sake of a good story; so that's not really my 'logic and flow' issue. It's simply that the author frequently loses track of what he was saying and makes terrible jumps. For example, at one point you're thrown from the protagonist being wounded & knocked unconscious to her having been rescued, washed, having her wounds treated and in the middle of the conversation. You know all this happened, not because of the flow of the story or because it was logical that it should be so, but because one character is telling another (who was also there) what they just did. It's like a terrible TV show where the audience is so stupid they don't realize the fourth wall has been broken. Earlier in the book, the protagonist empties her weapon and throws it away only to be firing it again literally moments later, without apparently reloading or needing to go and find it. One of the antagonists is having a conversation, outside, in the center of the town, when he pulls up a chair and sits down. Why there would be a chair in the middle of the street, where the conversation is clearly taking place, I have no idea. The protagonist is allegedly close to her father (not that we see this in their discourse or interactions, we know because the author makes a point of telling us, right before we need to know it) but is apparently motherless until after the (SPOILER ALERT) death of the father, when she grows another family member.

In short, this is a merely mediocre idea gone wrong. Its true tragedy is that isn't not the most horrible book ever; it's merely annoyingly bad. I fear that the Kindle, while reshaping our idea of what a book is and changing the way we read, has opened up the way to glut the market with self-proclaimed 'writers' who know neither the joy of writing something truly beautiful nor the ability to recognize that their own talents may lie elsewhere.

Dreadful


By J. Hatch

I am actually really disappointed by the number of 5-star ratings. Have we lost all standards?

Here is the most simple, yet revealing look at this "book".

Alice in Deadland is basically a story of a teenage girl who hunts zombies, called Biters, in a post-apocalyptic world. Early on we have what is meant to be an unpredictable plot-twist which includes Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland as a "prophecy"--which is neither explained nor satisfying. If you enjoyed Alice in Wonderland and think Dhar's book will be at all similar, you're mislead. Without being too harsh, I'd honestly only be impressed with this if it were presented to me by a fifth grader.

The only redeeming factor was the margin of imagination put into the ideas behind the Deadland and the Biters, which was disappointingly not fleshed out in any way.

The dialogue is uninspiring and boring. Characters say exactly what they plan to do and who they are, in basic prose. Basically, all characters have the same personality with random Indian names--which I quickly forgot--attached to them. Also, you can expect a new character to appear whenever a new need arises, count on it.

I have no background in military technology, and was completely lost as to what APCs were. Luckily, I'd played CoD and knew what an RPG was...

I finished this book, but would recommend it to no one.
