A science fiction writer writes a mystery story using Alice in wonderland as a basis. I loved this book. There was all kinds of Karma taking on people who deserved it. ( )

Rather heavy-handed. And full of those cheap tricks writers use to add suspense to a story that ultimately isn't that exciting. ( )

Terrific, mordant, satirical thriller set in the mid 60s civil-rights era about a young heiress who is kidnapped,has her skin darkened with tanning drugs and hidden in a cathouse. The villain is a supreme monster of utter selfishness, but Disch and Sladek have keen eyes for human weakness and lacerating wit and intelligence to lay it bare. A brilliant piece of work. ( )
