Rating: It was amazing!
The sequel to the infamous Alice in Wonderland, our heroine returns for a second novel written by Lewis Carroll. In this segment, Alice is very bored, sitting at home with her black kitten. She wishes she could have something to do and her imagination rises to the occasion. She touches her hand to the looking glass, and is automatically absorbed into to chaotic world where NOT ONLY is everything backwards, NOTHING makes sense!! In this world, where you must run twice as fast as you already can to go somewhere, where there are bread-and-butterflies fly about, where you meet people like the Tweedle twins, and everything works like a chess board, it is full of manic fun. For people who are looking for their dose of zany insanity, with a side of humor and subtleness, this book is the one to read, not to mention it's a classic. The story is set up like a chess game, in which the characters are given specific roles and the way they move parallels a chess game which is VERY clever indeed. Speaking of cleverness, Alice, the main character, retains her curious nature, though it is accompanied with an accumulation of wit. If you are looking for a classic to enjoy because of the demands of your English teacher, why not give this novel a try? The humorous plot and characters are bound to give you a laugh or a chuckle.
