Editorial Review:

Product Description:
In an alternate version of the future where Hitler had conquered the entire world during WW2 and developed society into his vision of utopia, an SS officer is on a mission to find and exterminate the last imperfect human on Earth. Following his trail leads the young Nazi to a small town hidden in the middle of the desert; a place that has been cut off from society for so long that it has developed its own strange and disturbing culture. Thus begins Mellick's dreamlike adventure that takes a young descendent of Adolf Hitler's design and sends him down the rabbit hole into a world of imperfection and disorder, where even the laws of reality itself don't seem to apply. A tribute to both Franz Kafka and Lewis Carroll, "Adolf in Wonderland" is a perfect read for fans of the bizarro genre.




Rating: - Don't over-analyze.
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with anyone who has anything even remotely negative to say about this book. The reviews thus far have been positive, though I am concerned by some of the critical statements.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but you should keep in mind one of the few defining characteristics of Bizarro fiction. It should be fun. Here I believe Mellick has succeeded and will continue to succeed in his writing. His stories, no matter how simplistic or weird they ... Read More

Rating: - Scary Cover, Scarier Insides
A solid but not mind blowing Mellick. The first half is very dreamlike/Kafka-esque. The book isn't really about Nazis, e.g., WWII & the Holocaust, but more about the Nazi idea(l) of perfection. A little meandering, somewhat sparse, but has plenty of images and ideas that will inspire and haunt readers. The controversy courting cover aside, I liked it.

Rating: - It Needed the Tea Party
Lest I be branded an old fogy, let me explain the three stars. The premise of the search for perfection was good. The use of Adolph was good. The weird was expected and was fine.

Even in Bizarro there needs to be some connection among the story line, the characters, the locations and the interactions. In this, there was too much "let's walk over here and have something weird happen, then we'll walk over there and have something weird happen, then we'll ..., then we'll kind of wrap it ...

Rating: - Is it Adolf? Is it Wonderland?
When you're a fan of the bizarro genre, this is your cup of tea. Reading 'Adolf In Wonderland' was like taking an acid trip. Mellick's bizarre worlds and bizarre characters take over your mind and the journey is inevitable.

In a world where Hitler has won and perfection rules the world, two SS officers are dropped of at a deserted train station in search of a town that contains an imperfect being to be eradicated. All they find is a miniature, deserted doll town before both officers ... Read More

Rating: - Hitler in a Strange Land.....
Let me start by saying that I'm a big fan of Carlton Mellick III and so I started reading already expecting to like it.

That being said, this review will be a fair one.

If you do not know anything about the literary genre known as Bizarro, then you should probably look into that first to see if this is your cup of tea. Otherwise, you may be totally taken for a loop and then feel the need to come on here to give it a bad review based on its "weirdness". (I've seen that happen ... Read More
