Reader Reviews:
Overrated? (0/0 people found this helpful)
I have just re-read Alice Wonderland; last time I read it I was a teen & loved it, now, I just found it annoying, especially Lewis carroll's writing style, very childlike, (perhaps he was aiming for that)?
I agree with previous reviews that the Mock Turtle is the best character in the book with some very cleve lines, but this didn't outweigh how much I wanted to strangle Alice by the end of the book!
Robert's Review of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (5/6 people found this helpful)
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", written by Lewis Carroll, has been entertaining people of all ages for decades. The book is one continuous use of imagination and that is the only thing that is continuous in the story. This story is not dull, it is far from it. In fact, the only dull part is after you've finished the book, real life seems boring.
This book can be read by people of all ages because it is not difficult to understand, it is short, and it has many fun ideas which will make people of all ages laugh. I recommend this book to anyone who has an imagination or had one at one time.

Better than any movie! (3/3 people found this helpful)
Whatever you do, you must read this book! Many of the movies shown on tv over the years are not 100% by the book which is a great shame!
For example, in Disneys version of Alice in Wonderland, there were no scenes of my favorite characters in the book who were... the turtle, and the duchess.
Especially the turtle which was the biggest thing that upset me, especially when in the book, the Turtle was talking about the school under the sea in which he used to go to as a young hatchling - and that there was a turtle there which wasn't called mr turtle but tortoise, and alice asked why tortoise? because he taught us of course! Haha!
Many poems and little ditties were cut out as well.
One I day, I hope that a director does it 100% by the book, with the songs and everything like it supposed to be, in order to get children to read more!!!
Many children don't get the full advantage of the adventure in alice in wonderland.
This book is ace.
A classic enchanting tale. (4/4 people found this helpful)
I'm sure everybody knows the tale of Alice and her adventures in Wonderland...the little girl who disappears down a rabbit hole and gets transported into a bizarre, magical, higgledy-piggledy world where nothing is quite like it seems! With memorable characters such as the Mad Hatter, Caterpillar and of course the Queen of Hearts, this is a book which enthralls and captures the imagination of even the most 'grown-up' person.I am now 23 years old and absolutely adore this book - it allows me to escape the mundane,often downright depressing reality of adult life!Reading this, i'm a little girl again, walking with Alice through her Wonderland right up until she's transported back outside again with her cat Dinah. Marvellous!
