I didn't think the characters were very well-developed and missed a lot of the characters that were added later in the cartoon/movie productions. I am a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, so this fell a little bit short for me. Still, an enjoyable and quick read.
Loved the illustrations, so eerie, perfect for Carroll's story.
I will think twice before sharing my crazy dreams with others. While not my favorite classic children's story, I did love how magical our themed book club dinner was. There is a lot one can do to create an Wonderland setting. My favorite comment of the night came from my niece, who joined me as a guest at book club this month. Her point was that this book really is told from a child's point-of-view. I also loved hearing how this book came to be. It was told as smaller stories by a family friend to some young girls and they asked him to please write it all down.

I loved reading this classic tale with my kids! They are obsessed with the Disney movie so I figured it was a good time to read it aloud at bedtime. But I wish I held off a couple more years as there is are a lot more side stories than the Disney movie! Overall, a great read & the ending is so much better than the movie; it had me in tears!

5 STARS FOR AUDIOBOOK.
So I listened to the Audible Plus audiobook, with Scarlett Johansson narrating, and it was pure perfection. The way she reads really helped me understand some of the more fantastical parts, and it was a fun way to pass the time while waiting for my credit to roll in. I've been a fan of the book since childhood, and this was just an amazing way to experience it that was narrated and edited well. Nice!
