It too me a dreadfully long time to get through this rather short book.

One truth is that I've never been all that interested in Alice In Wonderland. The story, in any form, has never caught my fancy.

Another truth is that the only non-tedious parts of After Alice did actually occur in Wonderland, but they were few and far between. Less than half of this book actually takes place in Wonderland, and even the parts that do are kind of a mess.

You get a small peak at some notable Wonderland residents, but mostly this book is trying to get at something else. But what that is isn't very clear, and mostly it talks itself in conceited circles.

This rarely happens, but after I finished the last words and the cover I said to myself "Stupid." Out-loud. To myself.

I didn't think it was possible for Maguire to write something more uninteresting than Lost. I guess I was wrong.
