About the author

The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer.

His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all considered to be within the genre of literary nonsense.

Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses.

He also has works published under his real name.

Another book to fill the time while I wait for the others to arrive. Remember reading this book in school and that it sparked my interest in reading. Definitely more chaotic and strange than Alice is Wonderland.

1.5 stars. i was so disappointed. this 2nd book didn't feel like a dream, like the 1st did. it felt like i was reading haphazardly arranged post-it notes of random ideas. sometimes the story flowed, but mostly it jolted you to another image (that you had to adjust your brain to) without transition.

i get it, it's alice's imagination, but this just felt like the scraps of the first book that they forced into a 2nd one. it could've used a good editing. some random ideas were fine, but others felt like it was thrown in just to be odd. and it left me going, "uhh o-kay."

i think disney and the 2 80's movies i watched as a kid did a great job at editing the two books into a fun adventure. they made this story exciting. yes, it's a classic and all, but if these two books came out today, i don't know that it would've been as revered. the ideas are fantastic, just the execution left much to be desired.

It’s hard to sequel a classic, but this delivers

I hadn’t read Through the Looking-Glass before and enjoyed this trip in the past with another classic. It is filled with so many mini timeless classics.

Didn’t care much for the first book or this one. Alice is kind of annoying with her ramblings to be honest. Reading this felt like one long run on sentence. One of the few times I’ll say the movie was better.

I enjoyed Through The Looking Glass more then I did Alice in Wonderful. Busy book with riddles of fun that are sometimes confusing.
