review 1: Ok. I have very mixed feelings about this story. I flew through Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and although found it to be both confusing and pointless, I enjoyed it. By the time I finished Through The Looking Glass I had had enough of the stupid nonsense and couldn't see how anything in either of the stories had any significant meaning whatsoever. My final conclusion is that it was a complete waste of ink and time. I'm studying this next year at university, so maybe after rereading it and analysing it I'll be able to find some sense.
review 2: This book didn't do quite a great job of keeping my attention. However, I was able to get through it because it was so short and also, the beautiful illustrations in this edition. I love this style of art and I like s... moreeeing the different perception of this story, which has been told a thousand different ways through art. As for the story itself, it really is very strange. I would like to study it more in depth, but my opinion right now is that Alice was dreaming in both stories. The way it is written is very much like a dream. Alice can't remember things, she doesn't always question strange things, and the transitions happen suddenly and impossibly. I also noticed that Carroll is a big fan of poetry, songs, puns, and other plays on words. I'm glad to have finally read the source material after knowing the story my whole life through other portrayals. I would recommend everyone do the same. less

I read Alice's Adventures as a part of my study, leaving Through the Looking Glass for my leisure time. Alice's Adventures is one of the books seen as a children's book by the majority of people while actually being an adult book full of metaphors and criticism. It is not easy to solve the hidden messages in it but it sure is very enjoyable to read and analyse as much as possible. It is the book that lets you be as mad as you like without any judgement because they are all mad in the Wonderland...

A timeless classic of lethal wit and surges of spectacular ideas. A story not bound to it's classification of a novel, as it is sure to be the splendid catalyst of any child's imagination. Lewis Carroll truly navigates through the most queer possibilities (or perhaps impossibilities), to leave the reader thinking 'curiouser and curiouser' Not for the pretentious, but perfect for the ponderers.
