I judged a book by it’s cover…there I said it, I saw this cover, then read the name and thought ” I love this” then I read the synopsis…”Find the diary, break the curse, step through The Looking Glass”…Goosebumps anyone? How could I pass this up? So very glad I didn’t.
This was such a great story, everything about it seems to flow, and I honestly can say I was never confused, the story kept my interest. I will say some point in the middle it was a little slow but that really didn’t take me out of the book at all and the end was just so wonderful. It was a life lesson and I really felt emotional from it because I feel every girl goes through what Alice felt. I can say that it is something I feel often and this book really put those feeling into a different perspective. I am sorry I am being so vague but I really want you to discover it on your own like I did.
The characters you really become attached too. Alice was very confused (well duh, she’s trapped in the mirrors of the house) but she had a strong will and determination that I think you could admire. As much as she wanted to give up she still held strong but like all of us we have doubt in ourselves. Tony was a troubled kid and just trying to please both his mom and dad who don’t get along. I did want more interaction with him maybe his POV would have been cool. He was such a sweetheart that I wanted to get into his head and see what was going on with him. Between the flow of the story and the emotions from the characters it really was a wonderful read.
I gave The Looking Glass by 4/5 stars. An amazing story with strong characters and an emotional message that you might realize hits close to home. I would for sure recommend this book, grab some tissues you might need them, I got a little choked
Wow! This does seen like it delivers a great story with lots of emotion. I can tell how much you were moved by it. I’ll add it to my tbr. Thanks for an excellent review!
I have to say, I am kinda intrigued. Being trapped in a mirror sounds creepy. Great review.
Thank you. It was a bit creepy but very interesting 🙂
Not sure whether this is a book for me, but I am glad to hear you enjoyed it :). Does this book has anything to do with the Alice in Wonderland story? The title and name of the main character seems to suggest that.
The idea of a haunted B&B does sound fun. Your review does make me curious what the life lesson is and what happens at the end. Great review!
Nothing to do with Alice in wonderland. It was really a great read. It really makes you think. I enjoyed it 🙂
