Has anyone read anything by Frank Beddor? Joe-the-office-roomie mentioned his re-telling of the Alice in Wonderland stories, but neither of us has read them yet.
It started out as a discussion of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie project (really, we do manage to get tons of work done despite these discussions; possibly because of them). Alan Rickman is the caterpiller. Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter. There's some controversy over who is really playing the Cheshire Cat. The actor listed for the part has denied it.
Anyway, Joe had heard of these books. They sound intriguing, but then again, so did Gregory Maguire's Oz books, and only the first one was any good, in my opinion.
Frank Beddor looks to have some graphic novels as well - Hatter M looks interesting. Angel and Gwen, know anything about that? You are my graphic novel advisors, after all.

I've heard Hatter M is cool, but haven't read it. Very interested in Burtons AIWL flick. Burtons' films are visually amazing, however his direction is a bit lacking- IMO. He did start out as a artist/animator (Disney) after all. I'm typing this from my new Mac at home. Very excited.
Feeling better?
The Looking Glass Wars novels get great reviews at my store. The first was selected for our teen book club. Haven't read them myself, but plan to.
I've never heard of these books, but now I'm intrigued!
Early I know, but please be my date to see Alice when it comes out?
We can do tea beforehand (except I won't let you drink any because we'll be too busy changing seats!)
Agreed!
