It's as though the writer asked an old friend what they knew about the story, after hearing a passing reference to it.
I do rather enjoy the fantasy-teaches-to-deal-with-reality angle, moreso because its not a current reality, but the treatment of Wonderland's existence and the state of that world I found a bit overdone - too serious, not the whimsical paranoia that I remembered. Fleshing out the characters (from my limited memory) was interesting, but the societal-political stances within Wonderland lacked the character-flaw-denotes-world-at-large-problems that allowed the original to teach you subversively.
Character limit on reviews is uncool. Deleted more than half.
