- Matter of Opinion
You cannot go by stars alone really on things like books. Especially books like Alice in Wonderland. There are people out there,(ahem see the three star reviewer) that have no imagination. This story is just a silly bit of imagined nonsense covering up deeper meanings. Anyone apposed to nonsense, or those who cannot read "between the lines" need not apply. :D cheers

- Follow the white rabbit
the white rabbit is two clicks away. follow the white rabbit out of the matrix. WARNING: you are being lied to, mainstream media is largely composed by jer. coffs, & public education is taking a dive on purpose. IQ is statistically dropping. follow the white rabbit out of the matrix. My name is Kenneth Bruce Updike, Jr. My Mom's maiden name is Bowers because her bloodline, as an alliance with the Hesse Family in Hanover Germany, founded the Illuminati - an evil secret society that just might be censoring me unless I broadcast some of the most brilliant artwork ever created by a human via a viral art project, but I'm allowed to directly state that if you click on my name, then the website on my profile, you can find my Lewis Carroll tribute. That white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland took that girl into a wonderful place. I read this book off of a disk. It was trippy, an invitation to tripping people out. She got big and small but I don't think you can trust Lewis very much. a prequel to bizzaro art, how the hillbilly was it marketed? I enjoyed the scene with the dancing lawn ornament flamingos the most - pg 66, paragraph 3. & mushrooms & opium smoking cartipillas

- You'll Have Some Curious Adventures with Alice
It all started when Alice was spending a lazy afternoon on a river bank. Suddenly, she looked up to find a White Rabbit in a waistcoat go hopping by. Curious, she got up to follow him into his hole. Suddenly, she found herself falling down, down, down. And when she landed, she was in Wonderland, a strange place full of even stranger creatures. Yes, the animals all talk. But Alice seems to find herself growing or shrinking whenever she eats something. There's a locked door she can't seem to get through. A Caterpillar demands she recite. She visits the strangest tea party she's ever attended. And she plays croquet with the Queen of Hearts where the penalty for winning is a rather harsh "Off with her head!" Will Alice ever find her way home? I haven't read this book since I was a child. I remember enjoying it then. And I did enjoy it as an adult as well. The story is just crazy enough to capture the imagination of anyone who reads it. There were a couple times when I felt the book got a tad too repetitive, but for the most part the craziness was always fresh and fun. Plus this was a great excuse for some none sense poetry. While this book doesn't have some of Lewis Carroll's more famous I did enjoy what was here, especially "How does the little crocodile improve his shining tale." As an adult, I must admit I found it a bit weirder than I remembered. However, keeping in mind the revelation of the final chapter certainly does help keep it in perspective. Ultimately, this is a classic that kids will still enjoy.

- This should not be your first introduction to Alice
An 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"

- Soso
My 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.)
