I adore Lewis Carroll's imagination, but I was really not expecting Alice to be so much of a brat.

It is a trippy book.
Half of the time I have no idea what was going on.
Then the treacle happened and she woke up.


Maybe I need to reread it again.
When I want to.

a fantastic piece of literature but at the same time i feel like lewis carroll wrote this on crack. overall, brilliant

I’m glad I reread this as an adult because I understood the wordplay and cultural context of English society at the time much better than as a child. Obviously I’m not the target audience, but it was just too much nonsense for me.

I almost did not choose to re-read this book since my 7th grade self was meh about it. However, as a parent to wildly imaginative children, this book was much more funny and filled with descriptions that I better appreciate now than I did then. The only misstep to my enjoyment of this story is the chapter with the duchess and her baby. It was difficult for me to read, and I should have skipped over it because it bothered me so much.

A re-“read” for me, listening to Jodie comer read on Audible. An excellent novel, nonsensical and intelligently funny, read wonderfully by such a playful actor who brought every character to unique life.
