Through the Looking-Glass

Through the Looking-Glass book cover

Another book by Lewis Carroll, the adventures of Alice continue. Some time later after the first book, Alice goes through a mirror into an opposite world. Including both the characters from the past book and new characters, Alice is in a quests to become a Queen. This is achieved by going through 8 squares, it is like a game of chess. Still talking to herself and questioning everything Alice goes through the Looking-Glass and interacts with many characters such as Humpty Dumpty.

I enjoyed this book although not as much as the first one. The story was great in terms of how it was made as a game of chess and it by far had more poetry in it. The question of who had the dream is intriguing and I loved how she used her kittens as characters in the story. It's an extremely short read and I gout through it in a sitting. I would recommend this book if you want more of Alice but I think the first story is far more loved by the public and therefore could be enjoyed more. In comparison I must say I liked the movie a bit more because of the use of the Jabberwocky but the book is good and such a different story that they should be regarded as two separate tales.
I give this book a 3/5
