Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There Audiobook

" after watching tim burton's amalgamation of through the looking glass & alice in wonderland, i decided it would be worth the while to read this novel (especially since i remembered enjoying alice in wonderland as a child). i realized i'm not a huge fan of abstraction without direct (or implied) purpose. i'm sure that in a closer analysis, there is much to be seen & understood in the book in terms of symbolism, interpretations, etc. and yet, i found myself skimming through nonsensical poems and characters - eager to get to the end of the novel. eh, i do believe there is brilliance there, i just could not see it. "

" "The question," said Humpty Dumpty, "Is who is to be master, and that is all." "

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

" Okay I've read both and I still hate the author. Terrible book. "

" As good as a childhood story can get, it is simple and confusing at the same time, loved it, highly recommend it to those who want to reminiscence on old tales. "

" I forgot how good this book was! I forgot all about the white queen and the ending. I loved it! "

" I am not sure I ever read this one before. I definitely enjoyed it more than Wonderland. I enjoyed the dialogue and word-play in this one. "

" Weirdest thing I've ever read. There's not really a beginning, middle or end. Weird. "

" 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. "

" Like Wizard of Oz books, too random to hold my interest. "

" One of the best books ever. "

" i hate myself for buying the one without tenniel's illustrations. make sure you get one with illustrations. "

" untuk ukuran buku dongeng klasik, terutama untuk anak-anak, Lewis Caroll memang yang terbaik. "

" This book, believe it or not, is even MORE nosensical than the first one! It is so weird and random, that sometimes I had to re-read the sentence to make sure I had read it all! I do like this book, though the first one is better. "

" A joy for adults and children or adults who haven't quite grown up. "

" 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. "

" This is really nice you know. Weird and creepy in great way. For fans of Lewis Carroll and Alice & company. "

" Not the great illustrations I love. Still a good story - even distilled "

" This is one of my all time favorite books! It is so wonderfully written and imaginative "

" Superior to the first book. "

" I like the explanation of jabberwocky best. :) "

" This story has no plot, and no structure. It seems almost like random thoughts going through the author's head in no organized manner. The only reason I kept reading was because it was crazy to watch Carrol's ideas unfold. "

" Not as good as Alice in Wonderland, but still delightful. The poetry in "Looking Glass" is better though. "

" 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. Probably not a book I'll ever read again, but one worth reading at least once. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" Hated it. Got about a third of the way through it and bailed. "

" We read this book on the class. "
