Alice in Underland

(This is a book response on the online book 'Alice in Underland', written by Emiko Tanaka and her friend.)


My book is: Alice in Underland

The Author is: Emiko Tanaka

I chose this book because: It’s a creepy, horror filled book and I’m a fan of Alice in Wonderland stuff and it includes Creepypasta (an online horror story thing) and it’s really cool. The book is also a reader-insert, where it brings the reader into the book, so it’s more enjoyable. It’s still yet to be continued, although.

A quick summary of the book: The reader — just like Alice — follows a shadowy figure into a rabbit hole and tumbles down it, finding herself in a new, horrific world. With help from Jeff The Killer — portraying the Cheshire Cat, she has to find her way out and meet/escape the dark king before she’s stuck in this horrible, deadly Underland for all eternity.

Chose two sentence starters from below to respond to.

The character ‘Jeff’ changed by the end of the story...
Jeff started off as a really freaky character, and was pretty intimidating to the reader — or in other words, scared the reader a lot. He was demanding and a little cocky but as the book processed, Jeff became more of a romantic kinda guy — I mean for being dead and a Creepypasta and all — and was really caring towards the reader, but still got ticked off when she wouldn’t listen to him let alone his advice.

The title of the story was important because....
Alice in Wonderland — the original — was a wondrous place, full of things that would make you laugh, or, literally, wonder, where as ‘Alice in Underland’ makes you think that it’s something to do with the underworld, and it pretty much is, it makes you cringe, shoulders tense and stuff. So if someone was looking for something happy and awesome like Alice in Wonderland, they would always be able to guess that Alice in Underland isn’t the right book their looking for.
