Critique Regarding Books The Hunting of the Snark

Any time I pick up something by Lewis Carroll, I expect to read something fun, quirky, and full of nonsense. The Hunting of Snark definitely fits in with my expectations. The illustrations by Chris Riddell add an extra layer of fun to this classic poem. My kids and I had so much fun reading it. Fans of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass will love The Hunting of the Snark.

Absolute nonsense, which is to be expected with Carroll. I love how his writing brings me back to being a kid again. Obviously loved it!

This is the epitome of nonsense verse and the measure by which I compare all others. The verse is beautifully and nimbly handled without sacrificing the humor or the nonsense. My version has Martin Gardner's annotations which are helpful, but not necessary. Nonsense isn't supposed to make sense!I highly recommend this book for adults, children, and pets. It is one of my favorite books that I've re-read several dozen times. (Added note: Boris Karloff has an excellent reading of this that is

I read this because of multiple chapter epigraphs from the poem in The Gray House, by Mariam Petrosyan. Glad I did, I wouldn't have otherwise, I don't think. It's cute, funny, silly, the source of nonsense words we still use today, and quick!

Well, I gave TV a chance today. However, I found Titanic, Terminator 3, reality shows and other stuff, so, those aren't real options for me. I have no sitcoms to watch right now. Although, I'm kind of tired of watching the same sitcoms/tv series all the time. There's nothing new now. Once Upon a Time is on, so that's a good background sound. What to do on a Saturday afternoon? Yes. Let's find something out of the ordinary to read. And what did I find? A brilliant, typical Carroll nonsense poem.

Not as snarky as I expected. ;)The poem is great fun. So are the illustrations. The annotations help and are only occasionally excessive.But the Judge said he never had summed up before;So the Snark undertook it instead,And summed it so well that it came to far moreThan the Witnesses ever had said!To be clear: I read "The Annotated Snark" by Martin Gardner, 1962 edition. Goodreads lumps this into the same "book" as "The Hunting of the Snark".

This was fun to listen to. Whimsical & used for many references today, it's worth the 30 minutes. I didn't listen to this edition, but this one is free. Mine was too since it was from the library. Narrated by Pierre Moreau. I see there is one narrated by Boris Karloff. I'm going to look around & see what others I can find. Definitely recommended!The Wikipedia entry is worth reading, too.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hun...
