I loved this book growing up. I don't know what drew me to it the first time but I'd always ask my mom to read some of it to me before bed. I think the great thing about Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is that it incorporates so much into the story. There are scary parts as well as funny parts, mystery and adventure, along with a ton of great characters to go along with it. I loved the little rabbit, I think mainly because my mom liked him, but he always made me laugh. I would run around the house saying I'm late but never saying for what. I will definitely read this book to my children.

Timeless and ever-changing.

During this book my emotions were more dazed. I was lost in the world with Alice, feeling her feelings of fright and worry and confusion. This is a book that I believe everyone should read, young and old. I believe this book is so timeless because no matter where you are in life, it becomes relatable. We all have confusion and worries and this book lets us get lost in someone else's. Albeit the setting of … more

Adventures With Alice's Adventures In Wonderland

When I read Alice In Wonderland as a child, I had no idea about the effects of magic mushrooms, nor do I now. So, whether or not the book or film is about such matters remains beyond my scope of reality. However, I seriously doubt that a children's book portrayed anything related to drugs. For, it is actually the audience and reader who have taken Alice on such an adventure outside her own. I would recommend Alice In Wonderland, … more

A Fluffy Romp of Imagination

This was a book I picked up out of interest due to the 'Alice in Wonderland' movie that was recently released. I haven't seen the film yet, but I CAN say that the book was a fun, fluffy read in between heavy reads. Even though it is a children's novel, there is a bit more depth to the story than what is presented. Our book club read this in between bouts of longer, heavier novels and still found interesting connections in terms of analysis with themes … more

I could never get into this as a kid. Got hooked as a young adult though. So much more than just a straightforward story.

A Quick Tip by benshlomo

I don't know which Alice movie they're referring to, but they all make one mistake, so hear this loud and clear - the Alice books are, and were intended to be, NONSENSE. Any attempt to impose a moral on them is a heinous sin. Period.

Excellent quasi-fantasy. Read it with an eye-for-otherworldly meaning encoded in its depths, then read "Mimzy were the Borogroves"

Sometimes it makes sense to read nonsense.

It was Willy Wonka who told as that, “A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men,” but it was Lewis Carroll who showed us what that means. If ever there was nonsense which could be truly relished by the wise, it is found in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. From the moment we tumble down the rabbit’s hole with Alice until the moment when we have read the very last word on the very last page, we are traveling in a world of delight. And … more
