I'm Michael. I'm a 9 year old boy. I live in Texas, U.S.A. I love to read detective stories, mostly. One of my favorite series is Sherlock Holmes, the greatest detective ever. Sometimes my dad and I pull out an old Sherlock Holmes movie and watch it. After this, I feel like watching it again and again. Another series I like is Clue, based on the best-selling board game, which I also love to play. There was a movie made in 1985, and when I was about eight, I rented the movie and watched it. And boy, did I laugh! I also heard that a Sherlock Holmes movie will be released in 2009. I think I will see that in theaters when it comes out.
Here's my review of the book
Through the Looking-Glass
by Lewis Carroll.
What this book is about:
Alice once again goes on an adventure when she ends up on the other side of her looking-glass. But this place is way different then Wonderland. Why are the messengers named Hatta and Haigha if they're really the Mad Hatter and the March Hare? Why do Tweedledum and Tweedledee want Alice to stay with them so long? Are the passengers on the train a goat and a man in paper suit? And who are these funny-looking chess pieces? Find out all this and more in Through the Looking-Glass, the sequel to Alice in Wonderland, the classic story also written by Lewis Carroll.
This sequel teaming with spectacular poems and funny dialogue will make you want to read it over and over again! So sit down in a comfortable chair and get ready to listen to the Tweedles' story, watch the lion and the unicorn fight, play a great game of chess, and see Humpty Dumpty fall of the wall, because once you start reading, you'll never want to stop! That reminds me, I'm going to read it again right now.
