Review by: Amy Eye on Aug. 11, 2011 : star star star
The OtherWhere, a place to escape to once you have passed through the Nothing. It is a place where the Rabbits rule, and the Weasels are footmen. Imaginary friends are real here and the land changes with perspective. But where do you go? Who should stay and who shall remain behind?

This is a short story that I really enjoyed. It took me just a little bit to catch on to what was going on, but once I did, I found myself liking this story more than Alice in Wonderland. This short story reminded me of a mix between the Matrix and the before mentioned Alice in Wonderland.

As this is a VERY short story, about 22 pages log, I can't say too much about it without giving anything away, but I will say, if you enjoyed either of the two books that I mentioned earlier, take a chance on OtherWhere. You will not regret it.
