Ok now this was just such a silly book. Fun read as there was numerous parts where I just had to break out laughing. For those that haven't read it, it's the third in the Looking Glass universe. If you read it make sure you turn off your brain before hand and you'll enjoy it.

Since the title is a reference to Jabberwocky, is the humor as absurd as I assume it to be?

More so.

They turned a submarine into a space ship in the first book, and the entire crew are scifi fans.

Isn't it only the ARC that's out now?

4th in the Looking Glass universe. And I'm pretty sure it's just the ARC that's out now.

I liked Into the Looking Glass, and have been meaning to read the others.

I too loved it. It was good silly fun and since I live here any book that has central florida blowing up in the opening chapter is sure to catch my attention.

I absolutely love this series, it's a great way to kick back and relax. Popcorn scifi at its absolute finest. I really think the genre takes itself too seriously sometimes, this is a refreshing change of pace.
