Welcome to Stranger World!!!
A place where homicidal monarchs reign, ravenous dinosaurs roam, and the tea parties are enough to drive a Hatter Mad!

This book is unlike anything I've ever read. It's bizarre and fun, with a unique group of characters. If you like fairy tales, steampunk, and fantasy, then you should give it a read.
I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

It was compelling enough to finish but nothing was resolved in the end. It was a mish-mash of every cliche theme park character ever created so it bred familiarity and inspired some horror that beloved characters could act so awful. However, by the end of the book we still don't know why other than it being some futuristic theme park that exists for some reason we also don't know. It also falls back on the whole "love is the meaning of being human" and "love is the answer to everything," just like A Wrinkle in Time did which feels cheap and hollow to me. I would recommend it above A Wrinkle in Time, though.

Loved this new series. Great world-building. Fun premise. A pilot is shot down in Afghanistan and wakes up in a word overtaken by full immersion theme parks, only the attractions run the show and humans are the entertainment. Part WestWorld part Alice in Wonderland. This is a story the whole family can enjoy. George Stapleton wakes up in Stranger World and must find then rescue his daughter from Lady Wellington and the evil Lamppost Man. I read the entire series in a few days and couldn't put them down.
