If one were to pick this book up believing it to be a sequel as I have done, they would find themselves disappointed. This is definitely a great adventure with Alice as the protagonist yet again, however, I find myself having exceedingly more and more trouble deciphering the sequel like qualities. Everything is completely different. I believed it was to be a story of an older Alice finding her way back to Wonderland after she had forgotten what it was like - As Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland portrays. Instead, I she's only seven, and the characters in the first book are entirely different. Such as the Queen. In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, she was made of cards - in this one she is a chess piece.
I believe I would have enjoyed this book much more if I didn't believe it was a sequel so much as just another adventure by Alice. Then again, it could also become much more clear as I read on. I am not so into this one as the other, that is for sure.
Also, another quote for my quote book!
'Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.' - Through the Looking Glass.
I do very much like this quote. However, I prefer Tim Burton's movie in the way it is portrayed; as her father had always said it, and now she says it. In this book, the Queen says it, the White Queen I believe. I have noticed in this book, that everyone is actually really rude and not lovable at all.
