- SosoMy first impressions of this book were that it was like reading C.S. Lewis on cheap drugs. The events are complete non sequiturs and the changes in plot are worse. It appears to be a spoiled child wandering in a world she does not understand, nor is willing to learn about - unlike Lucy in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe who seeks to understand the local customs and circumstances. The book is very easy to read but it leaves distaste in my literary mouth. I know it is considered a classic but I just do not see it, and if I did not have to read it for school I would not have bothered to finish it. (First written as Journal Reading Notes in 1999.)

- ¿A mischief?I got really disappointed when I received the book. I was looking for the original Lewis Carrol Book and this one was an adaptation for Children. I feel truly decieved with Amazon.
Rating:
- an adapted versionBe aware - this is an adapted version! I was not aware of it when I bought the item - it does not say so clearly anywhere in the book description, only in the reviews. "Through the looking Glass And What Alice Found There" that it is paired with is not an adapted version, though
Rating:
- This should not be your first introduction to AliceAn occasional review will focus on this point. Alice in Wonderland is no more children's book than, "The Lord of the Rings". The reason this five star book gets less stars occasionally is not because of its contents or purpose; it is because of either being mistaken for a kids book, in which case one wonders why it is forced on kids, or it is so dated that even the reader thinks it is gobbledygook. You will find the book full of references to items of the time and play on words of the time. If you fall into either of these categories then you need to first purchase "The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition"; this will clear this understandable confusion. Be aware that every sentience is a play on words for a jab at the culture of that time. I will not go through the story, as that is why you are buying this book. However I will say that it is a classic and should be part of everyone's cultural education. When you make it through this book and enjoy it the next challenge should be "Alice's Abenteuer Im Wunderland" German Translation. If you are also interested in sci-fi then try to get a copy of "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" by Henry Kuttner. Best of Henry Kuttner "Mimsy Were the Borogoves"
Rating:
- Alice in WonderlandWell the book has all the text, and some of the pictures I remember. But the type is very small, and the introduction very long. It will do, but I really wanted one like the Alice I enjoyed as a child.
