Carroll, L. (2005). Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. New York: Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.1402725027So, let’s start out with honesty. I was never a big fan of Alice and her adventures as a child. I found the cartoon tense and unnerving—too many “off with her head” declarations. And now, reading it as an adult, I found it…trippy. Too trippy for me.It begins simply enough. Bored, Alice notices a white rabbit and follows it through a rabbit-hole into a world where she can change her height with

Alice's adventures in Wonderland was a pretty amazing book. The author did a great job with details. He described the characters very well and some of the later versions even have illustrations. This book is not an easy read and some kids may have a hard time reading it. An issue with the story is that there have been many adaptations made. Some being film and they do not directly correspond with the original text. Over all this book is a good read and I would recommend it to children if they ca...

Genre: Old time ‘juvenile’ fictionAlice is a young girl and bored with her life; she follows a white rabbit down a whole and experiences all sorts of strange things. Throughout the story she seems rather clueless and meandering, yet she is the only source of logic in the setting. Lewis Carroll refers to many political theories and ideas in this book. The tone of the book somewhat reminded me of Gulliver’s Travels, though this book was not so creepy. I enjoyed reading it, though I felt I was miss...

LEAH'S RATING (age 5): *****LEAH'S REVIEW: I liked this book because we always get to have fun when we read it. It isn't weird because it's how life is--people fight, they blow trumpets like the white rabbit did, and act silly.LEAH'S FAVORITE QUOTE: "Turn that Dormouse out of court! Suppress him! Pinch him!

A classic fantasy book that I am in love with, I can't get enough of it

This famous book took me to a different world. I started to imagine things that I couldn't think of. Its amazing. Its about this girl who discovers a new world. She has weird anventures and she tries to scape from them. When you start reading it, you just cant stop. Its super entertaining and fascinating. All in all, this book is a terrific book for people who have a lot of imagination.

Listened to an audiobook for this one and absolutely loved it. A children's classic everyone should read.

Well the movie's coming out soon so I said I'd read the book first. Though I have seen the Disney movie, the book was good. Followed certain parts well. I can tell though that it also combines things from Through the Looking Glass, another Alice story. It was good, crazy at times but Disney definitely took it to a more fun and obsurd level. Again, I think this opinion is due to seeing the Disney movie first. But all in all, a good fairy tale.

'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' a.k.a 'Alice in Wonderland' is a 247 paged classical novel written by Lewis Carroll is 1865. The book follows a young girl and the peculiar circumstances she comes by after following a rabbit down a rabbit-hole, leading to a somewhat alternate universe in a sense. I thought that the idea and plot behind the book was extremely original especially taking into account the time period it was released. 'Alice in Wonderland' seems more like something that would have

How fun!!This was my first time reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I have watched multiple movies /shows about Alice in Wonderland and they were "ok". I thought I would give the book a try since I have found myself enjoying reading so much this year. (first time ever, and I'm 53!) The book is so fun! Very charming!

I read this novel between November 2 to November 12. The theme of this book is life is puzzle and sometimes these puzzles don’t have meanings or solutions. In the book, Alice faces lots of puzzles that don’t seem to have a solution. Alice tries to get the Caucus race, Mad Hatter’s riddle, and Queen’s croquet game, but she just doesn’t find a solution, much like real life. A significant quote to back up the theme is “Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.” It shows the connection bet...

Classic - I don't recall every reading this or having it read to me - was fun to sit down and go through (White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll Fantasy/pre-1920 juvenile Rating: 3/5 stars This book was enjoyable, though I think more so after I was able to discuss the meaning and construction of it with others. it is about a young girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole and ends up in a magical place she calls "wonderland". While here, her notions on several things, like learning and logic, are challenged. Alice adventures through this world, trying to sort out the different crea...

I am a big fan of South Park. In South Park Stan Marsh is the 10 year old voice of reason who tries to talk sense to a world of adults who have gone absolutely insane. The creators can get away with edgy language and taboo topics because it is done through the medium of cartoon.Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the 19th centuries South Park. Carroll creates an imaginary world in which the reader can excuse criticisms of king's and queens because it is imaginary. Through all the nonsense are sl...

I loved this book as a child, even had huge sections of it memorized. Then a few years ago I re-read it and appreciated it in a whole different way. It is so incredibly WEIRD! And it continues to provide so many accurate metaphors for life in its dreamlike wisdom: falling down the rabbit hole into a place far removed from the "real world" of comforting familiarity where things make sense, drowning in the pool of tears, the awkwardness of growth--of feeling rapidly taller or shorter--and not in p...

I really liked it. I loved all the made-up words and the fact that Alice kept talking about her cat and everyone kept getting offended. Also surprised he just made this up in his head as a story at night and then wrote it down.

Although different authors have taken many books of this story, this has definitely been the best. This book is amazing and also really entertaining.The story is about a young girl that goes through weird adventures.Also she discovers a new fantasy world with cats and bunnies that speak..mm pretty well and much more.I recommend this book to the people that like stories about fantasy.Hope you read it c:

My understanding is that this was one of the first real fantasy books for children, and very unconventional in its time because it wasn't particularly didactic and didn't have a lot in the way of morals all of the childrens' stories back then were supposed to have. It's really quite brilliant if you look at it from the perspective of its time period. Linguistically zany, terrifically creative, and even quite funny. Though, personally, it's hard to know quite what to make of it because it's so......

I loved this book dearly with all of my heart. It was creative, it was engaging, it was written well, it was truly something I would recommend to anyone with a creative taste and I would read again.

I watched the Disney version of this many a time when I was younger, but have never read the book. Last night undecided about what to read I chose this from my Kindle as I had downloaded it two years ago. It was amazing, it transports you to such another world. A world where disappearing cats, mad hatters and Queens who play croquet with flamingos exist. I loved it. There were so many parts that had me in hysterics and I didn't think I'd enjoy such an old book. Boy was I wrong. The tea party sce...
