Through the Looking-Glass (Abridged) Audiobook

" My infatuation with Alice in Wonderland has somewhat clouded my judgment. However, the characters are marvelous in their own mad way. This book will always be a treasures children's classic. "

" I decided to go ahead and read this one as well after realizing that many movie adaptations mix at least the first two books. I also started to read Splintered (A.G. Howard) and there was a reference to something I knew was in this one. Just like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, this book is an extremely quick read full of imagination and would be fun to read with a child. It's also full of random characters and events that seem to come out of nowhere. This edition does seem to have a bit more of a plot than the first book, which was nice. "

" This was just an ok book for me. The story line was very interesting and I was not that aware of what the story line would be like. I thought it was out of the box and something i have not read anywere else. It is different than the alice in wonderland story. "

" Really liked this book, more than Alice in Wonderland for no particular reason. "

" In which many parodies are represented as fantastic scenarios. "

" What can I say? It was a fun book. Anytime someone can interact with chess pieces, it's gonna be interesting. "The Walrus and the Carpenter" was rather funny to me as well. "

" Enjoyed more than the original. Better omniscient narrative commentary :) "

" So hard to get into! "

" This one was much better than "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Alice was still quite annoying, but the story was more fun. I still don't think it deserves the title of classic. This version was missing all of the poetry, which was a disappointment. "

" Read this to see how the movies compared to the original. Interesting to see how the movies lost a lot of the content and ideas from this story. "

" This is an interesting continuation of the long loved Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll's world is imaginative and timeless. "

" I got this book as a gift with a DVD of the story, I loved both the DVD and the book, I thought that it was really magical, all fantasy related and stuff. Loved it "

" cant see, why so many people like this one "

" I liked this one less than Adventures in Wonderland. I know it is a classic, and perhaps I am simply to old to be reading it for the first time. "

" I like farytales but for some reason I found this book to tidius. I couldn't finish it "

" Reread from 2006. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Very amusing "

" The original Alice in Wonderland! Read this when I was pretty young. Obviously loved it. "

" I quite liked it! Somehow I thought it'd be a lighter book, but it has many word games that made my brain work and my face laugh :D Another one that I'd like to re-read in the future... but not the near future! "

" It was alright. Maybe better than the first Alice. Meh. "

" "Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas--only I don't exactly know what they are!" --Alice "

" I have to say that this was one of the most enjoyable reads I have ever had. I was amused wholly by the whimsy of the story. "

" As a child I was fascinated with Alice In Wonderland and I still am. I loved this book, such a clever play on words. "

" The most interesting thing about this story was how the observations on life were turned on their head by the characters in the looking glass. But too much was just plain silly instead of insightful. "

" very wonderful with tennial's engravings. "

" This book is some crazy stuff. I'll take a movie version over the book any day. "

" This is one of my all-time favorite books. It is creative, adventurous and oh-so magical. As a child I wished I could be Alice, going off and getting myself in all sorts of trouble. "

" This book is full of weird and nonesense poems. The book isn't all trippy and mushroomy as what I expected maybe because I had big expectations from it. After all, it is a children's book. "

" Still my very favorite book of all time! The only book I still read several times a year. Thank you Mr. Carroll! "

" Like so many things, the book "

" I really enjoyed it but I had to focus on every word because sometimes it made no sense. It was great to finally read the book after having seen the Disney adaptation when I was younger. "

" This is my favorite book of all time. "

" ..solo alla ingenua lettura di un fanciullo potrebbe apparire un'allegra fiaba per bambini..Labirintico, contorto, romanzo psicologico. "

" This is more than a wonderful, heartfelt childhood story. Lewis Carroll is an expert on the strange and misfit, a master of literary pun. Meant for both younger audiences and adults. "

" I really enjoyed reading these books, and seeing where the movies came from originally. I would recommend this to anyone really, especially if you like the movies or classic books. "

" I loved these books when I was a kid. I should read them again; there is muchness in those imaginings. "

" A whole lot of crack was smoked for this one. "
