"The wordplay wasn't quite as good as the first, although it was still clever. The incidents were more interesting and more memorable and the poetry (Tea Party, Tweedles, Jabberwocky, etc.) were better than the first, however, which made up for it. I would still prefer a more coherent story, but that's just not what this is."

" This was very odd book.... "
— Lacey, 2/17/2014" Pretty much all I have to say is: Wow. That was another humorous, yet thought provoking, crazy wild ride through Lewis Carroll's mind. Awesome book. "
— Morgan, 2/14/2014" Good, but not as good as Alice in Wonderland. "
— Patrick, 2/3/2014" Compared to Alice in Wonderland, this book is trash. I found almost all of the attempts at humor forced and the writing dull. Perhaps it deserves another read, but the first was not inspiring. "
— Robert, 2/1/2014" This sequel to "Alice in Wonderland" held no interest for me outside of the poem "Jabberwocky." Lewis Carroll seems to have lost steam after the first book. "
— Thomas, 1/23/2014" Amazing. I loved it. <3 "
— Taylor, 1/22/2014" So hard to get into! "
— Belinda, 1/20/2014" If I were a more discerning reader, I would love to try to figure out what the imagery and language mean. As it was, I imagined it to be an LSD dream. "
— Cheryl, 1/16/2014" An interesting look into the mind of a child. Maybe. If you read Alice in Wonderland, you need to read this one as well. Kindle version is missing the poems, and they are the best part. Get the actual book. "
— Lance, 12/15/2013" Classic. Enjoyed it more than the first Alice novel. "
— Cole, 11/23/2013" Read the Kindle edition. It was missing the poetry. Bummer. "
— Rusty, 10/26/2013" I started reading this with Grace, but she lost interest and I finished it on my own. Sequels are seldom as good as the first book, as was the case here. I did enjoy it though...especially the clever poetry. "
— Maren, 10/22/2013" I have read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and always assumed I had also read this book, but now I'm not so sure. I am going back to find out. It will be great adventure either way! "
— Reid, 7/2/2013" This sequel to Alice's Adventures Underground is every bit as good as the original in my opinion. If you liked the quirkiness and oddities of the first book, there are even more in this one. I hope the afterlife is a bit like Wonderland. "
— Kyrie, 1/3/2013" I do so love Lewis Carroll's work! It's obvious that he was a very creative man. I love the scenery- not many could have imagined such a world! Both Alice In Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass have been full of wit and messages that could be used in one's everyday life! "
— Karen, 9/24/2012" Wonderfully illustrated and full of awesome colour! I loved th old style even though at times I didn't understand the book at all. I sure that the written version would add to my interest. "
— Cynthia, 7/8/2012" Soooo funny and strange. We laughed out loud many times and scratched our heads often. "
— Danette, 6/22/2012" Very trippy and adventurous. Very enjoyable quick read. "
— Jill, 5/25/2012" I read an annotated edition of both Alice books...it helped a lot with the contextual poems, puns and inside jokes. The book is (of course) much richer than any of the movie/cartoon interpretations. However, I thought the 1999 film version by Hallmark was pretty enjoyable, and has a great cast. "
— Lana, 11/14/2011" I love Alice :) She's a brilliant character and so are all of the characters in this book :) "
— Amy, 10/25/2011" Very good book, the only draw back is the proficiency required in the English language to proper enjoy it. "
— Pedro, 9/18/2011" With the excellent illustrations of Mervyn Peake. "
— Jan, 7/29/2011" Lewis Carroll is just sooooooooo imaginative! I love the whole book; it definitely is a classic. There's so many creative poems in them, and the whole plot sucks the reader into the story. I really wish that Alice's adventures would never end! "
— Sherry, 5/2/2011" Not as good as Alice in Wonderland, but still delightful. The poetry in "Looking Glass" is better though. "
— Jed, 4/18/2011" This book wasn't as strange as the first, but it also felt slower, to me. Not that this book was awful. I loved the poetry in it, and it seems that there is more direction in this story. <br/> <br/>Probably not a book I'll ever read again, but one worth reading at least once. "
— Casey, 4/8/2011" Much better than Alice in Wonderland, which I liked, too. I had forgotten that I read large portions of this in my Logic class in college. Very fun. "
— Cory, 4/7/2011" This book is just marginally better than Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I'm just not taken with Carroll's style. He had a good imagination too bad he was such a bad writer. "
— Mary, 4/4/2011" Wonderfully illustrated and full of awesome colour! I loved th old style even though at times I didn't understand the book at all. I sure that the written version would add to my interest. "
— Cynthia, 4/4/2011" Hated it. Got about a third of the way through it and bailed. "
— Sean, 4/2/2011" We read this book on the class. "
— Yixin, 3/25/2011" just a really odd book...good, not great. Grades 9+ "
— Kasey, 3/13/2011Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), English author, mathematician, and photographer. One of eleven children of a scholarly country parson, he studied mathematics at Oxford, obtained a university post, and then was ordained as a deacon but found true success with his masterpiece, Alice’s Adventures Under Ground, now known as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which originated as a story told to a young friend, Alice Liddell, during a boating trip on the Thames. Among his other works are Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, The Hunting of the Snark, and Jabberwocky.
