The first book was 4 stars. The second was almost 3. I read the MinaLima illustrated version with my kids last year, and we had a lot of fun with it. But I read it again for book club, and I was really ready for it to be over around 1/4 of the day through the second.

Depois de ler um reconto sobre a história da rainha de Copas, tive que ler o material original. O mundo criado pelo autor é tão envolvente e contagiante que nós nos sentimos como a Alice, perdida e confusa mas também maravilhada e curiosa. Personagens icônicos que se tornaram referências na cultura pop… Um clássico por uma razão.

Love the childhood fantasyland that is presented and enjoyed without care for logic/sense.  Remember to enjoy all the nonsensical stories shared by the children in your life.
