I thought this book was very clever and very good. Most of the book was well thought out and put together, although I think it did fall apart a little at the very end (but just a little).
Imagine all the banned books you've heard of throughout history... and then give them a Wonderland-like fantasy element where they come alive. both literally and literary.
If you do like "the classics" you should like this book. It is also easily accessible for any age, and would be a good way to bring a new reader up to speed by giving them a list of "must read" books if they haven't already done so.
