Book Details
I read this book because I had recently finished Alice in Wonderland, and I wanted to read both stories before I saw the movie. Fortunately I finished this one on the afternoon before the evening I was off to see the movie.
What did I think of this one? I was disappointed. What I loved about Alice in Wonderland was in Through the Looking Glass, but on steroids. It was so crazy, so dreamlike, that I could barely follow what was happening. I felt like it lost its charm for me. It was just so weird and strange.
I am trying to think of something about it that I like, but I can't. I am trying to think of some specific examples of what I didn't like, but it was the whole vibe of the book that just didn't do it for me. I didn't care about Alice this time around. It just didn't do it for me.
Summary
What kind of read is this?
A weird read, I felt a bit like the author might have been on an LSD trip when it was written.
Do I recommend it?
Definitely not. Do not read this. Just stick with Alice in Wonderland.
Do I recommend that you buy it?
See above.

I just read Alice in Wonderland and had been considering reading Through the Looking-Glass, but I think I'll skip it now. I agree with you about the author being on a "trip" I think he and the caterpillar had something in common.
Aw, that´s too bad. I loved this book as much as Alice in Wonderland, maybe even a bit more :)
I am looking for glass bottle suppliers in Bangalore (liter bottles). Does anyone know any contacts?
