Originally before reading this book I was sad that it was a dream at the end, but now looking back, that is literally the only way this story would have made sense because even though the story is freaking iconic and fantastical in every since of that word, the amount of crazy things that happen I fear would only be possible by our dreams. having grown up with Disney's adaptations, both the original, and the two remakes, I was very curious to see what was changed around and left out. I also thought, since I now somehow have THREE COPIES OF THIS BOOK (1940s, 1990s, and 2026) I figured I would stop looking like a poser and be able to say I've actually read this book. The original, Alice in wonderland, has to be my favorite. Bias, I know, I grew up with it. But compared to Through the Looking Glass it made more sense to me and was also easier to follow.
