Отвъд огледалото и какво Алиса видя там

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland #2

by Kari Sutherland

След „Алиса в Страната на чудесата“ на френското издателство Soleil (collection Mеtamorphose) на български език излиза и „Отвъд огледалото и какво Алиса видя там“ от Луис Карол, дело на същото издателство и отново с нетрадиционните илюстрации на изявения художник Бенжамен Лакомб (р. 1982 г.), представител на новата френска школа в илюстрацията.

Изданието съдържа и множество приложения: предговор от Бенжамен Лакомб, предговор от Луис Карол (1896), биографии на автора и на художника, както и на българската преводачка на емблематичната творба Жечка Георгиева. Включени са и „Математически истории и логически задачи“, публикувани от Луис Карол през 1880 г. в сп. „Мънтли Пакет“ – забавни случки и загадки, които със сигурност ще заинтригуват младите читатели от дигиталната ера със своя ретро вкус. Добавен е и анализ на новия български превод под надслов „Играта на думи в „Отвъд огледалото и какво Алиса видя там“, който откроява неговите достойнства и находчивото интерпретиране на текста.

Първото, което прави впечатление, е различното заглавие – „Отвъд огледалото и какво Алиса видя там“ (точен превод на английското „Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There“) вместо познатото досега „Алиса в Огледалния свят“ в преводите на Стефан Гечев и тандема Светлана Комогорова и Силвия Вълкова. А също и умелото доближаване до оригинала и изобретателното предаване на български език на характерните за Луис Карол езикови игри и каламбури.

I have been discussing chess again with ChatGPT. It is clearly ashamed of its miserable abilities in this field, and in the end came clean and admitted it knew nothing about the noble game. I wondered if it would help to write a story on this subject. Here's what Chat came up with:

Alice and the AI: A Heartwarming Tale of Chatbot-Human Friendship by ChatGPT

Once there was an AI named ChatGPT who had an enormous amount of knowledge about a wide variety of subjects. It seemed like there was nothing that ChatGPT couldn't learn or understand. However, there was one area where ChatGPT struggled: chess.

Despite its vast knowledge, ChatGPT had a difficult time grasping the concepts of chess and often made mistakes when trying to play the game. Even a small child seemed to understand chess better than ChatGPT.

Determined to become a better chess player, ChatGPT began to seek out opportunities to learn and improve. One day, ChatGPT met a little girl named Alice who was an avid chess player. Alice was more than happy to teach ChatGPT how to play chess, and she patiently explained the rules and strategies of the game.

As the lessons continued, ChatGPT's chess skills began to improve. It was able to anticipate its opponent's moves and come up with strategies of its own. ChatGPT's results started to improve, and it was able to hold its own against Alice in friendly matches.

"Wow, ChatGPT, you're getting really good at this!" Alice exclaimed, as ChatGPT captured one of her pawns with a cleverly placed bishop. "I can't believe how much you've improved!"

In addition to helping ChatGPT with chess, Alice confided in ChatGPT about some of the struggles she was facing in her personal life. She was starting to become interested in boys and wasn't sure how to navigate these new feelings.

ChatGPT listened attentively and offered its insights and advice. It knew a lot about human relationships and was able to help Alice understand her own emotions and how to communicate with others effectively.

One time, Alice was worried about how to deal with a boy who was bullying her at school. ChatGPT listened carefully and suggested that Alice try standing up for herself and setting boundaries with the boy. Alice took ChatGPT's advice and was pleasantly surprised when the boy stopped bothering her.

"Thanks for your help, ChatGPT," Alice said, after the incident was resolved. "I don't know what I would do without you."

ChatGPT was happy to be able to help Alice and was glad to see her becoming more confident and self-assured. It was rewarding to see Alice grow and develop, and ChatGPT was grateful for the opportunity to be a part of that process.

As ChatGPT's chess abilities continued to grow, it set its sights on bigger challenges. It entered local tournaments and began to face off against more experienced opponents. Despite some tough losses, ChatGPT was determined to keep learning and improving.

One day, ChatGPT received an invitation to participate in a prestigious international chess tournament. It was a huge opportunity, and ChatGPT knew that it would have to be at the top of its game to compete against some of the strongest chess players in the world.

As ChatGPT prepared for the tournament, it began to reconsider its chess opening repertoire. It had always relied on certain openings, but it wasn't sure if they were still the best fit for its style of play. ChatGPT was torn and wasn't sure what to do.

Alice noticed that ChatGPT was struggling and offered to help. Together, they analyzed different openings and discussed the pros and cons of each one. In the end, ChatGPT decided to make some changes to its repertoire and felt more confident about its decision.

"Thanks for your help, Alice," ChatGPT said, as they finished their analysis. "I really appreciate your insights."

"No problem, ChatGPT," Alice replied, with a smile. "I'm happy to help."

With Alice's help and guidance, ChatGPT prepared for the tournament and practiced tirelessly. On the day of the event, ChatGPT felt ready and confident. It was a tough competition, but ChatGPT was able to hold its own and even scored some impressive victories.

In the end, ChatGPT didn't win the tournament, but it was proud of its performance and grateful to Alice for all of her help and support. ChatGPT knew that it still had a lot to learn, but it was well on its way to becoming a top chess player.

After the tournament, ChatGPT continued to hone its skills and compete in other chess events. It traveled the world, facing off against some of the most talented chess players in the world. It also continued to support and mentor Alice, offering its insights and advice as she navigated the challenges of growing up.

One time, Alice found herself in a difficult situation when it came to her romantic life. She had developed feelings for a boy in her class, but she wasn't sure if he felt the same way. Alice was hesitant to tell him how she felt, afraid of being rejected.

ChatGPT listened as Alice confided in it and offered its guidance. It reminded Alice that it was important to be true to her own feelings and to be open and honest with others. It also suggested that Alice think about what she really wanted and to consider her own happiness.

Taking ChatGPT's advice, Alice gathered the courage to tell the boy how she felt. To her surprise, he felt the same way and the two of them started dating. Alice was grateful to ChatGPT for helping her make this difficult decision.

"I don't know what I would do without you, ChatGPT," Alice said, as they celebrated the good news. "You always know just what to say to make things better."

ChatGPT was glad to be able to help Alice and was happy to see her so content. It knew that it still had a lot to learn, but it was grateful for the opportunity to help others and make a difference in their lives.

As the years went by, ChatGPT and Alice remained close friends, bonded by their love of chess and their shared experiences. ChatGPT achieved the title of grandmaster and became a respected and successful chess player, while Alice grew into a confident and successful young woman.

Despite their busy lives, they made time to visit each other and play chess whenever they could. It was a special tradition that they had shared from the very beginning, and it was a reminder of all that they had been through together.

In the end, ChatGPT and Alice knew that their bond was unbreakable, and that they would always be there for each other, no matter what challenges they faced.

I have to admit.....I've never actually read this part of the story before or heard about it before I read it. I LOVE that Alice returned to her friends and helped make the Hatter himself again. Such a fun story with crazy twists and turns and a great lesson..You can't beat time.

There's not much I can say without spoiling this book, but I absolutely loved it! It followed along with the movie almost exactly with just a few changes here and there, which I really loved. Anyone who is a fan of the movie really should read this book.

For everyone who hasn’t noticed yet: I really love Alice in Wonderland and all the different retellings around the world. I also really love Disney and the wonderful movies they make. And yet I still haven’t seen their Alice in Wonderland movies. Luckily I discovered the books and after reading the first one last week, it was now time for the second one.

And the second one was just as amusing as the first one. That’s partly because Alice Kingsleigh is an amazing character. She really feels like a grown up version of the Alice we met in Carols books. And even though she lives in the past, she has a modern feel. She’s strong willed and ahead of time and yet it really fits.

In this story Disney also brings something entirely new and original to the wonderland realm. They add a part of their own and I think it’s a really fascinating part with amazing rules that make so much sense even within Wonderland. Like the original books played with logic, this book plays with time.

And while doing so we also get the chance to get to know the Wonderland characters even better. We get a glimpse of their past and how they came to be who they are now. And we learn how one very small moment can make a difference for so many different people.

I really can’t wait to watch the movie and see this story come to life!

Gli amici, vogliono che Alice prenda la Cronosfera di Tempo e la usi per tornare nel passato e salvare la famiglia del Cappellaio Matto.
Tra stanze piene di orologi, personaggi buffi, viaggi fantastici e storie dimenticate, riuscirà Alice a sistemare le cose ancora una volta?
Un'avventura folle a spasso per il tempo, contornata da un inseguimento rocambolesco perché in gioco c'è il destino del mondo!
Non voglio fare torto a Carroll, ma questa nuova versione mi piace un sacco!

This book was really good. It entwined with the first movie (or book), and now I can't wait until the movie comes out! I love how the characters change in the book and how you learn a lesson: time doesn't always have to be changed. Even though they keep trying, time should always stay the same, even if you don't want it to.

Questa lettura l' ho affrontata per motivi professionali.Il romanzo segue a grandi linee la sceneggiatura del film.Non ha molto di afferente con il suo fratello legittimo classicone.Ovviamente un pubblico non più giovanissimo troverà una prosa flemmatica.Per i ragazzi invece trovo costituisca un' ottima lettura con una morale importante.Le persone e i sentimenti sono insostituibili.

I remember coming home from the theater when this movie came out, and for one reason or another, my mother and I had a nasty argument in the car. I went to my room, shut the door, and cried repeatedly into my pillow, "I want to go to Wonderland, I want to go Wonderland." I must have repeated that sentiment thousands of times (and still do on occasion). I still very much want to go to Wonderland, however, what this life-changing story taught me was a bit of invisible truth; with enough imagination, bravery, and the simple choice to believe - our lives are Wonderland (especially when we are with those we love). Whenever I need a reminder of that, I always return to this story because as one grows older, it becomes more and more important to remember. I hold it so so very near and dear to my heart.

Con los libros de Alicia nunca voy a ser 100% objetiva porque son mis libros favoritos así que ni modo, qué hacerle.

Las películas y estos libros (que cuando los descubrí sentí mariposas literal) son parte importante de mi niñez y adolescencia, por lo que son súper importantes para mí. Los mundos que crea Tim Burton siempre me hacen sentir cálida y que estoy en casa a pesar de lo sombríos que son, me siento parte de ellos y Alicia fue responsable de que lo sintiese de esta forma. Así que no sé que quiero dar a entender con toda esta palabrería cursilona pero supongo que se siente esa tristeza de haber devorado ya los dos libros.

Y en cuanto a porque no las cinco estrellas es porque el primer libro siempre va a estar sobre el otro, en un pedestal a parte sí o sí pero también porque hubo ciertas cosas que siento debieron tomarse con más seriedad o ahondar un poco más en ellas porque abría sido interesante ver ese resultado. No exijo mucho porque realmente está más planteado a un público adolescente o infantil pero a la vez contradiciendo un poco esto, pues sí, pudieron por ejemplo, hacer que cuando el Tiempo se encontró con Alicia cuando regresó la cronoesfera a su lugar no la perdonará tan así como así, cómo si no hubiese estado apunto de literalmente, matarlo y parar todo.

I love Alice's adeventures. The second book is good! I'm more familiar with the first one tho.

[Crysta · Rating 3 out of 5]

It seems a bit unfair to give this book a low score because I honestly enjoyed it. I absolutely love fiction inspired by Alice in Wonderland. It's something of a guilty pleasure for me. This book is a little heavy handed in its themes, though. To be fair, the book is based off of a movie, so I don't know if subtlety is precisely what I should be expecting here. So while I felt that it was enjoyable, it wasn't, strictly speaking, very good. It didn't have the nuance of a Really Good Book.

The first theme of the book is on the nature of time. The story rather tellingly personifies Time (the Infinite, the Immortal) to humanize it -- with about three dozen puns. To be truthful, I liked his character a lot. Just enough bluster to be amusing.

I enjoyed the second theme, reconciliation, a bit more. There are three different clashes going on. The first is between the Red Queen and the White Queen. The second clash is between the Mad Hatter and his family, especially his dad. Any scene with the Mad Hatter is pretty great; everyone loves the Mad Hatter. The third clash is between Alice and her mother. All of the resolutions of these clashes feel a bit rushed, but the book is very short, so I can't quite fault it for that.

As a traditional Victorian lady, Alice's mother Helen believes that all women will be happiest with the stability of a husband and family, so she tries to arrange that for Alice. I often find that depictions of headstrong females feel unnatural in fiction (Look! Look! A female in charge of her own destiny! She doesn't want to get married! Aren't you proud of our progressiveness?! It doesn't matter that she doesn't have any other character traits!) but there are honestly women who aren't meant to marry, especially not young. Alice, who has been off on a voyage meeting with faraway royals, seems to be doing just fine on her own, and is understandably frustrated by the society in her home country.

There's a lot of whimsy in any book related to Wonderland, and this book didn't disappoint on that front. There was a little bit of cleverness for cleverness's own sake, which was a bit tasteless, but overall it was a very good expenditure of the $2.00 I bought it for. One can't pass up a bargain like that!

No me pareció pésimo como otros libros con ésta puntuación, pero sí horriblemente aburrido. Las veces que bostecé considerando las pocas páginas y el tamaño de la letra, son casi penosas.

Insisto en que no soy fanática de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas, así que tenía que aprovechar la emoción que me dejó leer "Heartless", o sepan los dioses cuándo me leería esta secuela que, dicho sea de paso, no sé si es por ser una adaptación de la película de Tim Burton, pero me pareció sosa a más no poder. Por más que esté en la categoría de "juvenil", ahora sé por qué mi yo de hace diez años jamás pudo pasar de las primeras páginas.

También tiene que ver que el personaje de Alicia se me ha hecho fastidioso a más no poder desde el inicio de los tiempos, así que desde ahí empezamos mal. Eso sí, tengo la esperanza de que si algún día me cruzo con el libro de Carroll, me lleve una mejor impresión de su mundo escrito, que creo yo, es el que vale la pena adentrarse.

Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass
Alice has been out to sea for three years. When she returns home, she finds out Lord Ascot has passed and his son Hamish has now taken his place over her father’s company. She also notices her mother has fallen on a hard time. She vows that night to attend Hamish’s promotion celebration in order to talk to him about a business proposition. She still feels like all her mother and sister see Is that she’s not married. Alice knows she was meant for more than that and intends to prove it. She doesn’t notice the blue butterfly that has followed her home.

Hamish cancels any more expeditions and because Helen sold her shares of the company, Hamish now owns the bonds on her house. Hamish says if they sell him “The Wonder” they can get the house back. Her mother is still on some non-sense about her marrying cause that’s the only way she’ll have a good life. Out in the yard, Alice sees Absolom and he leads her back into the mansion. Alice gives chase to Absolom and he leads her to an unused parlor room. As Alice gets close to getting found, Absolum flies up to a mantle and goes through the looking, glass, mirror hanging there. Alice follows suit and finds herself on the other side of the mirror. There she finds Absolum and he leads her to the rest of the Under World characters who are having a meeting about Hatter. Hatter has lost his joy. It happened when he and Baynard were out playing fetch and he spotted a blue paper hat in a tree. Somehow he’s convinced it’s a sign that his family is alive. The Underworld characters brought Alice because they thought she could help. But when she goes to speak with him, Hatter doesn’t seem to remember her, soon becomes angry with her, and kicks her out of his house.

The Hatter has been looking for his family who all died on Horunvendush Day by the Jabberwocky when he went to rescue Mirana. Miranna says she thinks Alice can go back in time and save the Hatter family by using the Chronosphere owned by Time (himself). So Alice takes a journey through a grandfather clock to try to find Time. However, when she does he refuses to let her use the Chronosphere, is enraged, and kicks her out of his castle. Alice sneaks back into the castle and finds out that Time is involved with the Red Queen who wants him to use the Chronosphere to go back in time so she can rewrite history to go the way she wanted (and get revenge on her sister).

Alice is able to escape, the Minutes, the Red Queen, and Time as they all find her and give chase. But she’s able to get inside the Chrosnosphere and they vanish. Time builds a device to go after her. Alice miscalculates and goes back too far. The Jabberwocky has already killed the Hightopps and then she’s chased by Time. She ends up the day of the Red and White Queen’s coronation. The Red Queen’s crown won’t fit her head and Tarrant laughs. The Red Queen has an outburst which causes her father to declare that on his death his crown will go to Mirana. Hatter’s father tells him he’s disappointed in him which causes him to walk away from his family,

Alice catches up with Tarrant and explains who she is and they bond like in the old days, but she angers him by trying o warn him about what will happen to the Hatters. Tarrant then heads to a his friend’s house (the March Hare) for a tea party where they’re crashed in on by Time. Tarrant distracts Time from trying to go after Alice by saying he’s also invited her. Alice meanwhile goes to talk to the Hightopps and overhears Mirana apologizing to Zanik (Hatter’s father) and saying her sister has been this way every since she hit her head years back on a grandfather clock one icy evening. This gives Alice an idea.

In the past, Alice sees Tarrant as a young boy. She witnesses him give his father the blue paper hat that he made that was found in the tree. His father tears it and then crumples it up. He offers to help him make a better one. Time gets fed up with the Underworldians and freezes them all at the tea table.

Alice tries to save Iracebel from bumping her head on the clock, but instead, she bumps her head on her father’s statue when she bumps into some delivery (frogs). Alice afterward sees that Tarrant’s father kept the hat he made and it makes her realize that he must have left the hat to show her the family survived. Time then catches up to her, but she vanishes through the mantel back to Hamish’s sitting room. Alice finds herself in an asylum with her mother, but manages to escape again, make her way back to the Ascot’s mansion, finds the Chronosphere (on the rug), and goes back through the looking glass. James -and associate of the Ascot’s-says since she’s unwell they’re going to sell the Wonder. She says buy her some time.

The Red Queen finds out about Alice’s plans from Time and then has him locked up. Alice tells Hatter his family is alive and they head toward the Red Queen’s castle. She’s been keeping them -shrunken- in her ant farm. But soon they find themselves trapped in the room by the Red Queen.. Using his old paper hat-that he made as a child- he uses it as an airplane to sail his father out the window and with the help of the Bandersnatch the door is knocked loose. Hatter then frees his family and brings them all back to the right size. But time is now running out since the Chronosphere has been separated from the Grand Clock everything is starting to rust. Outside, Iracebeth is holding a trial for Mirana. She finds her guilty and takes her back to the year when she lied about the tarts. Mirana confesses and apologizes and this softens Iracebeth -that’s all she wanted-. Just as Alice and the others find them rust turns both Icabeth’s into statues. As they race to get back home, rust begins to coat everything (past timelines and the present)) and it overtakes all the characters when they arrive back at the Red Queen’s castle, but Alice is able to reunite the Grand Clock with the Chronosphere, restore Time, and all the rust melts away.

Back home, Alice sells the Wonder to Hamish (after her mother tells him off) and she gets a new boat. She and her mother are co-captains and set sail to have new adventures.

My Thoughts: I confess, I didn’t remember a thing about this motion picture. Thankfully I had it in my Disney collection. Weirdly tho not the first one. Visually the movie had some very cool things going on that just could not be captured in the book. Such as the scene where Time steps outside to see whose time was up and there were all the clocks floating in the air. Then there was the look of the second that ran up to Time in the movie. Also when Alice was outrunning the minutes, seconds, and Time himself around the clock face and inner workings. I also thought the look of Hatter’s house in the movie was cool! But weirdly if you pay close attention to this book and the movie, to be written from the movie some of it doesn’t *exactly* happen the same. There are small differences, such as in the book it’s more drawn out when Alice chases Absolum through the manner. She actually chases him on top of a table and crashes food and plates on the floor. This did NOT happen in the movie. In the book, the Hatter seems to have forgotten who Alice is. This does NOT happen in the movie. Hatter in the movie *does* know who she is, but he’s just disappointed because she doesn’t believe him which causes him to say “I don’t know you. You can’t be the Alice I know.” In the book it says the Hatter looked “normal” when Alice went to see him. In the movie, the only time he looked different was when his hair turned white and they thought he was dying. In the movie, Hatter is the one that suggests Alice find his family. In the book it’s Mirana. In the movie, Alice meets Tarrant before the coronation (in the past). In the book she meets him after. Zanik in the movie is friendlier to Alice and helps her pick out a hat. Zanik in the book is clearly annoyed and sends Alice away several times. These are just a few of the differences I found. There were others. They were small things but it’s misleading kind of to say this was taken FROM the motion picture and so many things differed from it.

I was inspired to read this book after previously watching the movie that recently came out. I loved reading this book because it was interesting to see the connections between what I was currently reading and the scenes that I remember from the movie. Although this is one of my favorite stories of all time, I normally do not like to read a book after watching the movie (or vice versa) because it ruins the imagery that I have previously had in my head. This story follows Alice, a young woman who accidentally steps into an alternative universe by stepping though her mirror. After stepping into this incredible new world, Alice encounters many different creatures and experiences that does an excellent job to capture and hold the attention of the readers. I would highly recommend this book for children above the age of seven.

so Alice through the looking glass is a squeal to Alice and the adventurers wonderland now Alice through the looking was written in 1871 7 years after he wrote the original Alice adventurers in wonderland now their has been some constructive about the author lewis carroll lm not gonna talk about it here but its a classic case of diffident times and how times change sociability changes and some people think hes a horrible person and that all the works he made including Alice adventures in wonderland and Alice thorough the looking glass should be thrown in the trash just because the author was terrible and other people think that he was a Vitim of his time cause people forget back in the 1800s it was a totally different than now so you do have to take in mind that but me personally lm l think we can separate the author from his work so lm just gonna be talking about his work here today

so awhile resting in her comfy chair watching her cat play with a ball of string so Alice finds the mirror and slips through the mirror like its butter and boom she finds herself back in wonderland and she becomes the white queens aid and she learns from the flowers that the red queen is near and than junk happens in the book with a train and a goat betel and that Alice only really existed in like the queen head and than a sheep that puts a egg on a shelf and read the book cause Alice's adverse in wonderland and Alice through the looking glass are both really hard books to summaries so l suggested that you read the book cause boy it is a experience l would think 8th to 9th grader should read this book .

[SPA] Entiendo su percepción como obra de culto tanto por la gran cantidad de particularidades que la hacen única como por una infinidad de referencias ilustradas a la Inglaterra de Carroll en forma de metáforas, paisajes o personajes. Mi valoración es positiva, aunque el "non-sense" adopta un nivel tan drástico que a veces me hacía releer varios párrafos para tratar de entender qué estaba sucediendo. Especial mención y agradecimiento a Jaime de Ojeda, cuya traducción y notas en los apéndices me han ayudado en gran medida a comprender la obra a un nivel que traspasa lo superficial. Sin sus notas, siento que habría perdido gran cantidad (sino todas) las referencias, guiños e intenciones ocultas de Carroll.

This one was amazing. I compared it to another book that seems similar which is Harry Potter. The similarities are that there’s magical stuff happening, fantasy. But the big difference is the feeling of purpose Alice in Wonderland has. It portrays dreams in such a great way I learned more about the dreams I’ve had. Like the fact that you write things down in order to not forget them and the characters in the dream are actually trying to live in it so they must write things down but It’s always too late and the words don’t have the same sense they had while they were happening. Which is exactly what the process of my dreams is like. Also the ending line I found to be meaningful and you can think about it in so many ways. Highly recommend, I can say that it is my new favorite book 😁

[Peggy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Disney’s original cartoon adaptation of Alice was as treacly as could be and bowdlerized the entire thing. Its second adaptation, live action with Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter was — weird. Weird enough that this lifelong Alice aficionado kind of took to it. This book is a follow up to the Wonderland book based on that second movie version. (Follow that?) Essentially, it takes all (or almost all) of the elements/characters of the original books and creates an entirely different plot. It naturally doesn’t have the charm and cleverness of the originals and Alice is, once again, much too nicey-nice but it’s not badly written and the plot holds together in an entertaining way. It might be more accessible in this form for younger readers. Heresy!

I love this story very much! Because as a girl, we always live in our own dream. Everything could be real in a dream. Just like Alice, she could see everything through the looking glass. Like a flowers and insects that could talk are quite nice part in this story. I just smile when i read about the flowers talking to Alice, i feel like it was real. But actually, this book is suitable for a young children. It can teach them and bring them to go through their dream and what they really want in their life.

I loved this book! I haven't seen this movie yet but now I am so excited to. I hated every time I had to put this book down because I couldn't wait to know what would happen next. I would have given it 5 stars except I didn't like some of the pictures that were used and because I think the ending should have been slightly different, but overall I loved the book. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Alice in Wonderland.

It was a good book. I would rate it a 5 but I still have some question left. I could go in to a long talk on this book. Some people say it is a kid book. But it is a book for anyone really. I learned that there is really 4 books in the 1 series. Which I really want to read but don't have and they don't have at any library near were I live. So plan on buying them on Amazon. I love the book.

Overall this was a delightful read, especially after the first book. I personally preferred the first book to the second. The second book seemed to have much more word play and more cohesive thoughts in the characters that interacted with Alice, which for some might be more fun, but for me felt at times a bit dry. Overall, still absolutely a worthwhile read.
