5.0
In this book, pop culture analyst Will Brooker takes the reader on a tour through the various manifestations of Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass in our current society ('a tour through the wonderland of..' was just too predictable a phrase). He's a wonderful tour guide, and the perfect combination of anthropologist and literary critic to write such a book. It's a thoughtful and engaging book, written with a real, tangible love for the source material, as well as a thoughtful sympathy for the fans who dedicate significant amoutns of their time to it. And, best of all, the book is underpinned by a sort of personal journey with regards to the Alice books, one that manages to draw the book together in the end. A wonderful book for Alice aficionados.
