My rating: 2 of 5 stars
An intriguing tale. They say it takes you back to your childhood, but I can only wish I had a childhood this exciting!
It's a classic, and far removed from my regular genre, so at times I found it hard to push on and read. And I can't say my experience was entirely enjoyable. I think however that that's half the point. Carroll did not intend for us to cruise on, readily determining meaning.
I wish I'd read it as a child. I feel my wild mind of younger days would have embraced the strangeness. but then again, I was always a little frightened of strange, unearthly things (eg: Roald Dahl and his variety of spellbinding creations).
