I'd read Alice in Wonderland when I was little and then again recently due to a course I'm taking, but I read Through the Looking Glass only now for the first time. Adventures in Wonderland truly is an amazing book, but I must admit I didn't find Through the Looking Glass half as fascinating. I think it's uneven -parts of it are really amazing, while other parts are rather boring. I remember reading Paul Auster's "New York Trilogy" a few years back and how he kept referring to this book and Humpty Dumpty and how he represents language and I do believe reading Through the Looking Glass having this knowledge helped me appreciate it better; however, overall, I find Adventures in Wonderland a much better book.
