Fun Mystery With Fun Language Plays
One of the most fun reads I've had with a Japanese novel in a long time!
Right from the start the witty dialogue and play with words, akin to the original Alice in Wonderland, was enjoyable and engrossing.
The mystery was also pretty good with clues scattered throughout the story. But even though I was able to guess some things, other twists surprised me.
As 85% of this book is dialogue, I'd say the Japanese is great for N3-N2 level, although there were some advanced words and kanji scattered throughout.
I think you also need to know the original Alice in Wonderland story to get the most out of this book. (I still remember most of the story from the Disney movie and ended up Googling the parts I didn't know/remember.)
Highly recommend this book.
