Love!!! Book 1 was alright, but book 2 was my favourite. Love love love. Enjoyed this one so much, it was such a fun, cozy read. ( )

OH MY GOD!!! This book couldn't have been more boring... Alice is such a spoiled, annoying little brat. She's so used talking to herself that she doesn't even Know how to behave in a dialogue. Both titles are terrible, but I thought the first better only because the characters that interact with her are far more interresting than those of the second one. When people say that Alice's adventures series are classified as nonsense I have to say that to me it's nonsense to read theses books at all, and the only thing that makes sense are the mad characters of the first book. Some of them with the most philosophical quotes, such as:
" 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
'I don't much care where - 'said Alice.
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat."

I also enjoyed her conversation with the Caterpillar and "A Mad Tea-Party" chapter. But only that... ( )

Jim Dale's presentation is outstanding.
That says it all ( )

As young Alice sat with her older sister on the bank of the river, Alice's attention was drawn away from her sister, who was deeply engrossed in a book, by a scurrying white rabbit carrying a pocket watch. Intrigued, Alice follows the creature to a rabbit hole and she falls into a Wonderland of adventures full of strange creatures. Here she will constantly change her size from a mere three inches tall to a huge stretched-out version of herself. Along the way she meets up with charming characters - Cheshire cat, Bill the lizard, the Dormouse, murderous characters - The Queen and King, and the just plain strange - the caterpillar, Mock Turtle, March Hare, Mad Hatter. Alice is brave and strong as she stands up to the Queen whose favorite saying is "Off with her head".

I never read this as a child and am only familiar with the many movies that have been made over the years. The book is a quick read and quite fun at times although it does get rather bizarre.

I last read this book as a child and I still loved it as an adult. A lot of humor that I missed as a child but appreciated as an adult. ( )
