A review by mickala
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll

4.75

So absolutely funny. This is considered a kids book but I don’t really think children would understand the nuance of the humor. 

Disney’s Alice and wonderland I now realize is an amazing adaptation, taking the best parts of the book and putting them in a perfect combination and order. 

The first story is perfect, and if it was only the first I would give this 5 stars. The first story follows Alice trying to get to the garden and that’s what drives the whole story even though she gets side tracked along the way. The second story is kind of just things happening randomly and her allowing these things to happen to her which makes it less compelling. There’s no one set goal throughout the whole story and feels more like a compilation of short stories that are barely connected. Unlike the first story where we see and hear about the same characters quite often. I would even suggest to a first time reader to read through the looking glass before wonderland.
