I expected more from this book to be completely honest...
The story was quite confusing. Something about it didn't make me feel connected to the story.
I did enjoy some of Alice's thoughts and views on events in the book. It made me reconnect with how I looked at things when I was a young kid. It was also fun to read the lines that were used in the movies. But overall, not my cup of tea (I'm sorry Hatter <3)

Con 19 años disfruté cada palabra como si fuera una niña, desearía haber leído este libro hace unos 10 años porque este mundo loco y raro del País de las Maravillas me hubiera encantado, y que de hecho ahora me encantó.
All time classic. Glad I read it aber war jetzt auch nicht weltbewegend
I've read parts of this story and I'm familiar with the Disney version, but I've never read the story's original version and it was just wonderful! Reading this with the kids and giggling over it ... we gave all the characters voices, etc. ... it was so much fun and we made lots of memories. We'll be reading Through the Looking Glass very soon! :)
UTTER MADNESS
"`In that direction,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, `lives a Hatter: and in that direction,' waving the other paw, `lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.'
`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.”
There really is a case to be made that, in this book, Alice visits not Wonderland, but a mental asylum. I enjoyed this classic more than I expected. It reads like some surreal, drug-induced vision. Carroll seems to delight in subverting expectations and contemplating how much fun it would be to be totally mad. And perhaps, some scenes seem to suggest, our society is mad?
In this dive down the rabbit hole, Carroll unmasks the absurdity of the rules and restraints we place upon ourselves as humans. I was also impressed by some of the clever wordplays which would surely go right over most childrens' heads but make it a more enjoyable read for adults.
“A dream is not reality but who's to say which is which?”
