This adventure captures the madness and wonder of Alice in Wonderland beautifully. The puzzles are a joy, and you will need to take notes. In addition, as with the best solos, there are multiple endings, and you can't see and do everything in one run-through. This solo is great for re-play, and tremendous fun multiple times through.
For me, what pushed this from four stars (great) to five (outstanding!) was Steve Compton's artwork. Mr. Compton's pen-and-ink style exactly complements John Tenniel's original illustrations in Alice. There were a few cases where I had to look for the artist's signature to make sure it wasn't a hitherto-undiscovered John Tenniel illustration!
So, fun storyline, cool adventures, interesting puzzles, entertaining jokes, and good replay value, all complemented by outstanding art. If you like solos - or even if you don't - Alice in Weirdworld is a gem.
