About this listen

When Alice steps through the looking-glass, she enters a very strange world of chess pieces and nursery rhyme characters such as Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledee and Tweedledum and the angry Red Queen. Nothing is what it seems and, in fact, through the looking-glass, everything is distorted.

Great narration but story not as good as the first

Since I read Alice's Adventures In Wonderland last year and really enjoyed it I thought I'd read the follow up. I also enjoyed the film that came out in 2016 but aside from sharing some characters the book was nothing like the film. Also despite being a sequel this felt much more like a prequel as Alice didn't acknowledge having met some of the characters before. I didn't enjoy as much as Alice's Adventures In Wonderland but it was still good, albeit weird. The narration on this however, is excellent!

Miriam is amazing

What to say, Miriam is an absolutely spectacular narrator, couldn’t ask for better. The content itself, fairly dreadful. And again, Alice is a thoroughly unlikeable child.

Miriam Margolyes was brilliant

Margolyes was excellent at doing a range of character voices. Very surreal story! Not as familiar as the first Alice book

Narrator does impressions

The Narrator does a cutesy impression of young girl when reading Alice's dialogue - I found this tremendously strange & very tedious. Couldn't listen to more than an hour.
