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

4.0

Alice in Wonderland is playful, imaginative and exciting, but ultimately it is children's literature in a way that Through the Looking-Glass surpasses. Through the Looking-Glass is children's literature as well, but it is also more than that. It is an exercise in logic and language games that Wonderland only begins to play with. Lewis Carroll's writing is a pleasure in both and perhaps even more fun in Wonderland, but TTLG has more facets, depths and other dimensions, which makes in my opinion a far superior work. While I would recommend both to a child, TTLG asks to be returned to and studied and turned over and discussed in a way that Wonderland does not.
