Book Reviews of Wonderland (Modern Library Paperbacks)
Book Review: Good but a bit too psychological for some
Summary: 4 Stars
This book shows the psychological changes of the protagonist, a boy whose father murdered the rest of his family. He creates a string of personas leading to his daughter's rebellion. This book is very psychological, so it's difficult to understand on the deeper level without some knowledge beforehand of psychological theory. It's also a bit dated, much of it towards the end talks of the hippie scene ect. . .but only insofar that it was a current phenomenon, not anything to be interested in by itself. This is appropriate however, because it was written during that era afterall. It isn't the easiest read but quite rewarding and frightening at times.
