- Alice through the Looking GlassI loved reading this book. Although not as wonderful as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, it was a fun read. I'd recommend it to any one of any age.
Rating:
- Excellent artistry The book was good reading and the pictures brought the characters to life better than I could have imagined the characters to be.

- About the HeritageThis review relates to the Heritage Press edition, as released in the 1940's and re-released in 1969. One of Heritage's most successful designs - a classic, playful, but elegant piece of work with relatively large (18 point type) and two color printing throughout. The Tenniel drawings are all here, banded by blue, and reproduced with a beautiful amount of detail on lovely cream-white stock with a vellum finish. Designer W. A. Wiggins has bound the book in blue linen with details in stamped indigo and silver binding foil. In silver slipcase with an introduction by John Winterich and Carroll's preface, 200 pp.

- SosoThough this book is not much better than Alice's Adventures, the chess motif and theme does make the book much more interesting. With the bossy, dominant Red Queen and the quiet, kind, messy white queen, the book is a study in contrasts. The interweaving of the Nursery Rhyme Characters and the frequent fish poetry references does provide more continuity and a sense of sequential events than Alice's first adventure. I also appreciated the linking of the cat at the beginning and end of the story. It does still feel like Carroll did way too many opium pipes in his time. (First written as Journal Reading Notes in 1999.)
