I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started this, although I know it's no fault of Carroll's that the book is overdone by now.
I didn't get anything more out of the ever-famous quotes than I did hearing them the first times, and I didn't connect with any of the characters. They were all so full of themselves that at the end, I didn't feel anything for anyone.
It's imaginative, which is a plus, but it's not that good. The book was all over the place, which I know is the point, but it didn't do the work any favors, in my opinion. I don't think the themes are either emphasized enough or original for the piece, so for me, this was a lot of stuff pushed together back to back that could have been much more developed.
Maybe I would have enjoyed this more had I read it as a kid, but I don't think that should be a requirement for something heralded as a "classic."

This version is way better than the Disney version (I mean it's the original) and you know what's the most entertaining ? It's to try to find all of the references to drugs/mental illnesses .

I've been big and small and
Big and small and
Big and small again
And still nobody wants me
Still nobody wants me

Last two chapters were basically The Trial by Franz Kafka

An enjoyable read. Lots of fun wordplay and logic play, as well as amusing characters; my favorite has always been the dormouse, who constantly says "Treacle."
