I hated this book. I loved the movie as kid, and I thought that I would like this as well, but when you read it - it's like reading the experience of a drug addict that is high.

"The question is", said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is", said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be the master -- that is all."And a good question it is! Though this collection holds far more than just the well-known Alice in Wonderland stories, those were my favourites. Carroll is incredibly witty and really has a way with words that shows best in those stories and, in my opinion, a few short stories and some of his poetry. He masterfully constructe...

It may not be the most beloved children's story ever, but it may be the best known. With a cast of characters known the world over, and reproduced in every entertainment form imaginable, it's made "Alice" the one word name that everyone recognizes as Lewis Carroll's iconic character. And there is an unnerving quality about it that leaves you thinking that, just maybe, this crazy world does exist somewhere in some dimension, and that we make wake up some morning and find ourselves in the "Twiligh...

2021I read ‘Alice through the looking-glass’ and enjoyed it very much. It was as absurd as I remembered the first book! Very amusing. I had to laugh out loud when figurative and literal speech got mixed up quite some times! 2020I only read 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and I very much enjoyed it. It was a weird story, but I feel like I understood it this time. I remember reading it as a child, on my own, and it was very much confusing me back then.

The time has come,' the Walrus said, To talk of many things:Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax — Of cabbages — and kings —And why the sea is boiling hot — And whether pigs have wings.' (Quote from Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There ' written by none other than the fantastical Lewis Carroll)As per usual, as Alice happens to be my favorite story of all time... 5, BADDA BING BADDA BOOM, golden STARS. Have to add that this edition is also truly beautiful one; a wonderful

This is my favorite book! i absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone who loves puzzles, riddles and poems.

This particular edition is part of Barnes & Noble's Leather-bound Classics Collection. Carroll's volume is bound by distinctive pink bonded leather, with black illustration and gold leaf embellishment; "Beautiful" is an understatement when describing this collection; it's exquisite - to say the least! These books are so precious to me. They are the epitome of what my "dream library" will contain; breath-taking editions of the classics and masterpieces. Most of the books in this particular collec...

Alice's Adventures in WonderlandSuch a strange tale. I've always been so enchanted by it though -- especially the cryptic rhymes interspersed. Are they meant to mean anything? Are the "morals" presented throughout the book to be taken seriously...or are they Carroll's idea of satirizing the moralizing books of his time period?Alice falls into the rabbit hole with society's rules in mind. She takes the virtues and rules from school and her parents...and she finds that they don't apply. Much like

My favourite edition of my favourite story. I am sat re-reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and still smile at every page.

After all the metaphors and symbolism regarding Alice, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter in beaver hat, and going down the Rabbit holes, it was surreal reading the Original thing after all that but it wasn't surreal enough.Now, this is a children's book in every way and more. Well worth the wait, didn't let down, and did not disappoint in any way. It was everything I thought it would be and more. Much much more. All the hype surrounding it well justified. Now, this is living up to the expectation...

I decided just to read "Alice in Wonderland" and "Alice - Through the Looking Glass", and "Puzzles from Wonderland" since that's the main reason I bought this book in the first place. And in the aftermath of my thoughts I decided that the other stories in this book, I can either read later or just ignore since I don't have the motivation or desire to actually read them. I think Alice's stories were kind of whimsical, but in a generally understanding and wonderful way. I had to take a lot of brea...

I read this book fairly quickly and enjoyed it throughly it’s one of those rare classics that are super easy to understand! I’m doing a kind of Alice In wonderland inspired TBR so any recommendations would be Wonderlandiful!Already picking up:-heartless -the looking glass wars-jabberwocky -A wonderlandiful worldAnd if you count furthermore...😘thanks!

Been eyeing this adorable pink & gold leatherbound edition for months. On a whim I finally walked into Barnes & Noble and bought it. When I got home that same night, I finished Alice's Adventures in a sitting. Such an easy and lovable read for me; I have many, many times before. Even as an adult I feel akin to Alice still. Happy to have this on my shelf and to dive into "Other Stories" within the next few months/years, whenever that mood strikes.

I'll stick to the Disney movie. This was a bit trippy for me. Definitely a nice classic to read the original and understand the original story though.

This is the first Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classic book I have read, and judging by only the cover, it's absolutely astounding. Cute and pink with wonderful artwork, and pages dipped in gold which gives the pages that ''old'' vintage feeling! The first two parts of the book is of course the Alice books - I finished those in a day each, it was wonderful reliving my childhood, and also learning more about the books, as the Disney and Tim Burton movies are just mere interpretations. I loved the

I'm ashamed to admit that I'm in my 30s and had never read alice in wonderland. What an amazing journey alice went on, every character fascinated me and the whole world came to life in my mind so perfectly. I loved the fact that it is an illustrated copy I have aswell.

This collection of stories was wonderful!! Alice in Wonderland has always been one of my favorite literature classics. But one thing I didn't know until I read this book, was everything that happened AFTER Alice returned from wonderland. The stories and poems are all so whimsical, with also a hint of dark humor. I enjoyed these stories very much. It's always been one of my favorites. This is a wonderful collection.

How am I supposed to explain all this? I swear Lewis Carroll was on drugs. If you asked me to make up something as wildly insane as this, I wouldn't even come close. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are exactly as I remembered the films. They're insane and brilliant all at once.It was the Sylvie & Bruno books that took me the longest to get through, because I honestly had no idea what was going on at times. The basic premise is the narrator going along on his normal...

First of all, this edition of the book is just gorgeous. Secondly, I'm not really going to review the book per say because let's face it, Carroll is a strange yet fascinating writer whose work barely makes any sense. His writing is unintelligible most of the time, yet the stories of Alice and her adventures in Wonderland are highly acclaimed, perhaps purely because they are so original? I don't know what to think of Lewis Carroll as a person, or as an author. All I know is that Alice's Adventure...

1.Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Rated: 5/5 “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” I’m so pissed that I didn’t read this book sooner owing to that ridiculous movie starring Anne Hathaway and Johnny Depp (excuse my lack of knowledge regarding other actors and actresses). It was so ve
