Table of contents

I don't enjoy nonsense. I like things to be logical and follow some kind of structure I guess that's the scientist in me. Of course, not everything can be logical in horror books etc, but this was like a different level of ridiculousness. Nothing made any sense, things were all over the place.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

We were just jumping around everywhere and I just wanted the experience to be over. If this book wasn't so short, I think it would have became a DNF for me. Oh, and Alice literally has to the sassiest, cheekiest, rudest little girl I've ever encountered in literature. What a brat. I just wanted to put her in her place for the entirety of the novel. Nope, I hate Alice. The only highlight for me was the illustrations, as they are simply beautiful. So I apologise to all lovers of Alice in Wonderland but it's just not for me. I'll give 1 star for the story as I just can't allow myself to give zero stars So that's 2 stars out of 5 from me!

And a reading experience I'd like to forget. View all 16 comments. I really enjoyed this classic. That I had missed while growing up. It has lots of lessons that are currently applicable to people in their everyday life. For instance, the Cheshire Cat when Alice asked him where she should go.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - AbeBooks - Carroll, Lewis:

So many people in life don't know where they're going and so they just settle on one arbitrary direction. Lewis Carroll is a master and his craft. Thank you. If I didn't already know the story and the basic plot points of Alice in Wonderland from movies, books, and other pop culture retellings, I think this book would have been very confusing.

I didn't realize how short the Wonderland part of Alice's story is so, despite the bizarre writing, it was a pretty quick read.

Having grown up frequently seeing art with tie-dyed mushrooms and a hookah smoking caterpillar on top, I was already thinking this book was likely quite a trip. The surreal storylines, bizarre characters, and the consumption of substances by Alice to alter her reality definitely make this a trippy experience.

This is one case where I think the movies at least the ones I have seen have done a pretty good job stream-lining the story to improve the delivery. The essence of each of Alice's adventures is usually captured perfectly with excessively trippy material edited perfectly so as to not lose the viewer. Not often you can say the movie is better than the book! In the end, it is another classic that I am very glad to have read. Did it blow me away? Not really.

Will I be recommending it to others? Not likely. But, if you have always enjoyed the Alice fairy tell - enough to say that you are a fan - I think you have to check out the source material.

I'm still not sure whether I think Lewis Carroll created a fantastic piece of fantasy or a great big pile of nonsense.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll - Chapter 1

I suspect it's a combination of the two. I like some of Alice's adventures - really, how could I not? I think it was a good choice for me to reread one of my favorite childhood stories before I read the one I really wanted to: Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. However, it was still a really enjoyable ride everytime I read it. Everlasting quotes are the reason this book is classic, and I love them all!

I have always wondered what I think it was a good choice for me to reread one of my favorite childhood stories before I read the one I really wanted to: Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. I have always wondered what inspired Lewis Carroll who was a really strange man so even if I am still wondering the same question, I am not too sure if I want to know the answer to create this story in his head, and if he was on some kind of drugs while doing that.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Alice In Wonderland is a particularly rich and whimsical story, with something new to discover in every reading. Alice herself is quite a character, and is able to stand up for herself against the strange and seemingly illogical world of wonderland. As she comes across each of the weird and wonderful creatures - like the White Rabbit, the Duchess and Cheshire Cat, the Caterpillar, the March Hare, Mad Hatter and Doormouse, the Gryphon and Mock Turtle, and the Queen and her court as the Gryphon Alice In Wonderland is a particularly rich and whimsical story, with something new to discover in every reading.

As she comes across each of the weird and wonderful creatures - like the White Rabbit, the Duchess and Cheshire Cat, the Caterpillar, the March Hare, Mad Hatter and Doormouse, the Gryphon and Mock Turtle, and the Queen and her court as the Gryphon reminds us: ' It's all her fancy-that-They never executes nobody you know'.

We learn that the real wonderland is the mind of a child, and the happy carefree long, summer days of innocence in which Alice dreamed her dream. You may have seen the Disney film or been to a play, but most everyone growing up in a Western European-based culture has had some contact in some form with Alice and her adventures.

I cannot recommend high enough actually reading Lewis Carroll's superb book written for his daughter Alice's bedtime story. There is a lovely innocence to Alice and a startling and surprising freshness to all the creatures and characters she meets. It does sometimes feel like an acid trip, but then so does Charlie You may have seen the Disney film or been to a play, but most everyone growing up in a Western European-based culture has had some contact in some form with Alice and her adventures.

Anthony Browne: how I re-imagined Alice in Wonderland

It does sometimes feel like an acid trip, but then so does Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and other high flights of fancy. The great thing here is the oblique criticism of societal norms and the evocation of youth and innocence that is unforgettable and ageless. This is yet another book that one should read to their own kids as a gift for their imagination. I honestly dont know what to rate it bc I dont even know how I feel about this.

I am bitter about certain aspects but then I wonder why am I bitter about them when I have clearly seen weirder shit in some other books? Why does this make me feel any different? If anything this book encourages the imagination to grow! I hate Alice tho Rereading I honestly dont know what to rate it bc I dont even know how I feel about this. Rereading thanks to the irl bookclub whose one of the botm is this with the theme being 'Tea' related.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is popularly known to many as a children's book, and Lewis Carroll admitted to writing it for the little girls of the Dean of the college he taught at. A quote from C. Lewis, in The Three Ways of Writing For Children , "A children's story which is enjoyed only by children is a bad children's story. The good ones last, because a children's story is the best art-form for I really enjoyed this, and being read by Michael York and a distinctive touch.

more on this story

He is also known to say that he liked little children, except little boys. The fact that many photographs have been found in his collection with little girls scantily clad, and in various poses, including on his lap, and in light of his comment, have led some to believe that the book has references to pedophilia, but since he is not alive to defend himself, I will avoid that. The original illustrator of Alice was Sir John Tenniel, who was a famous cartoonist for Punch Magazine, a periodical famous in Victorian England for its satire writing and cartoons.
