Our view
“The Looking Glass Wars” rests on an idea readers like: Wonderland is real, and Alice is its exiled princess stranded in Victorian Oxford. Some enjoy Alyss and Hatter, the way the friends band together against Redd, and the theme of what becomes of an unused imagination. Yet readers often come away wishing they had liked the book more than they did, and some gave up on it.
