I can imagine had I been introduced to this story as a kid I would have eaten it up. Now however, I feel like I admire Alice in Wonderland, but I don't love it. It is a little sad for me to realize this because there are just so many wonderful stories that have been inspired by and adapted from this book that I love so dearly. I feel like I should love it, but right now is not the time in my life in which I can. I have both read it and listened to it read, but both times I was not transported to Wonderland in the way I had hoped to be. I don't know, we'll see if that changes with time and circumstance.
I honestly do not know how to rate this. On the one hand I liked it and on the other I was so confused at times and a little bored in the parts that did not make sense. Yes I know it’s wonderland and nonsense is the point but I still felt like my head was going to fall off because it was hard to follow at times. I’m not sure if I want to give it a 3 or a 4. So I’m giving it 3 stars for now and I may change it later. This book has me all confused haha!
Review: THANK YOU!!! I guess I needed was some muchness and some nonsense…. I was already mad ( pun intended) so this is the perfect book to undertake. Of course this is a reread and a much loved classic masterpiece. This copy of Alice was a unbirthday gift ( it was before my birthday) gift from my bestie Briana Briggs this beautifully creepy version is both stunning and Mad!!!
Let’s begin at the ending or maybe at the beginning….. it’s hard to know when you are reviewing wonderland. My grandma was an artist and took me to art classes with her, she pointed out every kind of art style that she could including a beautiful artistic movie of Alice in wonderland…. This led to the book which led to my favorite 90 movie of Alice in wonderland…. Moving to the live action…. And ending with let’s read Alice in wonderland retellings. But as any good retelling review knows always read the original. But I forgot so I’m reading it in the middle!!!
The world of wonderland rivals nothing as it is so vivid and magical you fall down the rabbit hole with Alice and find yourself curiouser and curiouser immersed in this beautifully written story. It is both lighthearted and nonsensical but you love it the same …. or at least I do….. if you haven’t read this lately it is time to dust off your shelf and reread. If you don’t own it …. Why? Why don’t you own it?
The characters are iconic and fun my personal favorite is the mad hatter. In a retelling if he is not done well you can kick it down stairs, because I will order off with the books head!!!
( you tired of the puns yet cause I could do this all day)
The plot is childlike nonsense that is incredibly innocent and sweet. But who needs a plot in wonderland I think it would be illegal. “Nonsense we simply can’t do with out it. “
Silly little book about adventures and dreaming and nonsense. Oh to have an endless tea party with the hatter.
Every time I read this book it gets weirder. I still enjoy it mostly but I love the Disney film more and I hate to say but I think I enjoy Alice in Wonderland retellings more than the original now.
Whilst I will forever love this book for freaking me out when I was a kid it's not my favourite classic children's story!
