Mehso-so

I enjoyed the author‘s earlier “Oxford” book so I eagerly grabbed this from the library. Unfortunately, I didn‘t find it satisfying read. That may have a lot to do with the plot‘s heavy reliance on logic problems: made me relieve anxious college experiences. However, I loved the central plot lines based on Lewis Carroll and the Alice books and it was nice to “meet” G again. Beware the discussions of graphic photos of children if they trigger.
