Eating the Cheshire Cat: A Novel
2 journalers for this copy...
Bizarre, satirical and funny. "This breezy tale about old-fashioned back-stabbing in the New South....as easily as whistling Dixie."

Journal Entry 5 by BookBirds from Somewhere in the USA, -- Wild Released somewhere in USA -- USA on Tuesday, August 12, 2003
This book was sadistically insane and I loved every minute of it! I loved the writing style! This has easily become one of my favorite books ever, and that was truly unexpected! What I did expect, was a preteen novel full of happy cheery teenagers being prim and proper in their 'southern belle' ways, but I was dead wrong. I loved how all the characters were crazy in their own ways, except one of them, but at the last second of the book, she was just as crazy as the others. I think that the 'Alice in Wonderland' references were clever. They fit well, since in 'Alice in Wonderland', every character is crazy except Alice. In 'Eating the Cheshire Cat', the reader is led to believe that only one character is sane, kind of like the book's own Alice. But then in the end, Ellis definitely describes otherwise! I just love books that have a plot twist at the end. I loved this book so much, that I don't want to give it up just yet. I would love to read it many more times, and believe me, I haven't reread a book since 'James and the Giant Peach', 'Charlotte's Web', and the 'Little House on the Prairie' series when I was younger. If a book like this is your thing, I definitely suggest you read this one!
