The book of the nonsense, no other story has managed to gather so many disjointed stories and produce a plot with a certain level of sense. Through the absurd, its silly humor and the play with the language, Alice in Wonderland constitutes a book written to entertain and make your imagination fly. No wonder it became a classic, no other book has a managed to produce a story and world like this one; a timeless tale if it can be considered a tale at all.

This was a short nonsensical and fantastical read!
I wish I liked this book.
I'm a pretty quirky person. I like bright things, bold colors, always odd numbers instead of even, and I enjoy my fair share of nonsense. Normally, when I enjoy a movie, I excitedly read the book and find it's approximately thirteen times better than the movie. I enjoyed Disney's adaptation of this story, with little cartoon Alice and the singing, dancing flowers. It was never my favorite, but I did like it at least a little. I always expected the book to be an undertaking to read - a long thing, with lots of vocabulary to parse, but with much more plot and intensity and brightness than the movie adaptation which would make it more than worthwhile and would probably make me enjoy the story more.
That's not what I found. I read through the book in an afternoon. I feel I tromped through not the wistful, whimsical, bright, colorful, even musical version of Wonderland which Disney prepared me for, but a long explanation of a nonsensical, unemotional, and fairly plotless dream. While it's somewhat fun to read that kind of thing and I found myself smiling or laughing at small points as I would at something silly in my own dreams...I just wanted more from a famous classic. Now I feel the need to look up exactly what about this has captivated so many people and how it became a classic in the first place. No disrespect intended to anyone who loves it; I don't even claim it's awful! I just wanted something more, and I'm a bit disappointed.

Synopsis: After a tumble down the rabbit hole, Alice finds herself far away from home in the absurd world of Wonderland. As mind-bending as it is delightful, Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel is pure magic for young and old alike.
Review: For the most part this was a cute tale. The world building was fantastic and whimsical. The characters complex and well developed. The book is full of great writing and I can see why a lot of people love this story and how it’s maintained its popularity year after year.
However, I can’t read this book without thinking of Lewis Carroll’s inspiration for the book and it creeps me out to no end. Sometimes people are able to put that behind them when they read books by controversial authors, but I couldn’t for this read and it made reading this book hard.
Verdict: Ehhh not my fave.
