Through the Looking-Glass

Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There,, by Lewis Carroll is the sequel to the world famous Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Here, Alice travels through the mirror in her living room to find a chess-board country, inhabited by talking flowers, chess-men, Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledee, and Tweedledum.

I was rather hoping for a little more sense to the story but found much the same as found in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Of course, there didn't seem to be as many completely senseless characters, like the Duchess or the Mad-Hatter, but that may be because I was getting used to characters making completely odd comments for no reason at all. The story is still a random excursion into absurdity personified. Many children would doubtlessly enjoy the story but my sentiments toward this book are the same as to it's prequel - no thank you.
