Personal response : This book was too difficult to understand, because the characters except Alice were too strange. I couldn't understand what they say, why they act strangely, what the country was. Everything was strange, No, to be honest, it was weird. However, some of characters and stories were similar as Alice's Adventure in Wonderland, so it was fine. BUT as I said, it was weird book.

Rate : 3+

Level for me : difficult to understand because of strange charctes and poems
