My first impressions of this story was being a little overwhelmed. The author did a great job of twisting the classic Alice in Wonderland character into a slightly demented steam punk version. Not for the faint of heart, there is a little bit of gross-ness throughout, so be warned. I loved the mad hatter and his hat full of random drawers with even more random things inside. He and his robot, Clank, were probably my favorite characters.
