4.5 stars

This has Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass written all over it. I really like what this book is getting at and how it gets at it. The structure and the pacing are sometimes a little rushed, but I think I have an idea as to why Juster goes about conducting his book this way.

Here's a review from my blog: http://caponomics.blogspot.com/2015/0... ...more

I fell a little bit in love with this book! Such wonderful imagination and wordplay but also some very worthwhile observations about life. Love, love, loved it!
