      It's saturday, it's cold and it's raining, so of course I had to stay in bed and re-read my ultimate comfort book ♥ the only problem is that now I'm yet again left craving tea and bread-and-butter.
    • 3/5
      A really creative guy, that Lewis Carroll... but I wish he would've written these books more with the goal of publication in mind than that of entertaining a child, because Alice's adventures wander far too much to keep my attention very well.
    • 4/5
      Truly wonderful book. Utter and complete nonsense written in a charming manner.
    • 5/5
      I absolutely love Lewis Carroll and I would gladly read anything with his pseudonym on it, regardless of length. Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass are both full of creativity and imagination. Even though you can find them in the children's section, I wouldn't recommend it for younger readers because it's not an easy read. It's more suitable, perhaps, for middle-school aged children. At the end of the book, we find out that Alice had been dreaming throughout the entire story. I find it curious that, at times, Alice can not understand the characters that her very own sub-conscience mind has made up. The characters that she meets in Wonderland often speak in riddles that have no answers, as Alice once pointed out. Certainly if Alice made up these characters, she of all people should be able to understand them. Just an interesting thought.
    • 4/5
      Alice in Wonderland is a story that I knew but never read. I finally picked up the illustrated version (via Kindle), and it surpassed my expectations -- it's refreshingly absurd and a great escape from the working life.

      I wasn't as hooked on Through the Looking-Glass, perhaps due to the abundance of nonsensical poetry. But it's well worth reading too if you can get the two books in a set.
    • 5/5
      A brilliant children's classic that doesn't talk down to its readers. Its heroine is far from perfect and the characters she meets are almost subversively zany.
    • 4/5
      Having seen a number of versions of the book made into movies was not at the top of my reading list. Was interesting to see how the movies have taken bits and pieces of both of the stories and made them into one. Most of us are familiar with Tweedle Dee and Dum being in the story which is actually from Through the Looking Glass. But didn't know that the Mad Hatter and March Hare are stuck at tea time due to an argument with time. Also who knew that Humpty Dumpty is a whole chapter in the book. was interesting to read. Wonderland is much easier to read than Looking Glass. Looking Glass seems to jump around a lot.
    • 3/5
      This may be a favorite for many, but I dislike it intensely. Imaginative and superbly written; absolutely, but also sinister and weird and irritating! Not for me!
    • 5/5
      I absolutely love Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It is good to have a wonderfully magical place to escape to that can be as confusing as in real life. And, a wonderland quest is a perfectly curious escape. Plus, I am a huge lover of unusual anthropomorphic creatures. And, I want you all to picture bunny's wearing waistcoat-pockets as they scamper about. I loved the Disney picture book and movie too. There is the benefit of the bold colors to stimulate the senses and elevate the mood. And, I have often questioned if this is why I love Masonic checkered floors.
    • 4/5
      so, he liked little girls. a bit quirky but if he didn't, he wouldn't have had no motivation to write this ultimate classic that activates any odd-thinkers thinking capacities and should be made into a musical not another movie for the songs in it are brilliant.
    • 3/5
      This gave a interesting insight to parts of the mind normally unexplored or given much thought to. Carroll puts and empahtic look on the dreamworld that we all enter but don't ussually give much thought to. It opens up this world to further consideration and review.
    • 5/5
      Possibly my favorite book of all time. Before I understood the mind-altering influences that led him to write this, I was captivated by the world of wonder and fantasy he created. It was everything I wished my own adventures could be.
    • 4/5
      Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass has been so highly quoted, and adapted into several movies, that I just didn't feel a strong urge to read the originals. I'm glad I finally did -- motivated by the fact that this is included in the list of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.
    • 4/5
      تعتبر رواية ” أليس في بلاد العجائب ” واحدة من معالم الأدب العالمي البارزة، تستهوى الأطفال و الكبار ، جيلاً بعد جيل. تدور أحداثها حول شخصية أليس الحالمة والمغامرة وحول كثير من الشخصيات الغريبة مثل الأرنب الأبيض وقط الشيشاير وأرنب مارس الوحشي … وتجعل من مغامراتها عملاً أدبيًا خالدًاIs the novel "Alice in Wonderland" and one of the prominent landmarks of world literature, appealing to children and adults, generation after generation. Takes place around the figure of Alice and dreamy adventure about a lot of strange characters such as the White Rabbit and never Cichair and rabbit March brutal ... and make their adventures immortal literary work
    • 3/5
      Of course, a classic. The silliness and randomness of the book is genius. You can't not read it.
    • 3/5
      A great classic.
    • 5/5
      In this classic the eponymous character follows a dignified white rabbit down a hole and into a strange, magical world where she must endure numerous trials and tribulations both whimsical and disturbing. This book can be appreciated on multiple levels, and is suitable both for young children (who can enjoy the majestic setting and strange adventures) and young adults (who will be better able to appreciate its more complex underlying themes and symbolism).
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed reading this classic in it's original form, although it amazed me any publisher touched it - they certainly wouldn't today. And it amazes me more that it became a 'classic'! Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was enjoyable in it's nonsense, but Through the Looking-Glass made little to no sense in the majority of its scenes. Now I am at least family with where stories of Humpty Dumpty, TweedleDum & TweedleDee and many others originated. Happy I read it, but glad it is over!
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed it more than I expected. Certainly a staggering number of puns helped that along. In a Bullwinkle and Rocky type style there is something for both adults and children in this simultaneously.
    • 5/5
      A lot of people would classify this as a "children's classic". I suppose it is. After all, it was written for a child. However, if you read it again as an adult, there's so much that has more meaning. And, in some cases, there's just a lot more that finally makes sense. Now I'm old enough to know what a caucus race really is, and to understand why there is such thing as a mock turtle. I also finally know, thanks to this book, why King James bibles often have a picture of a lion and a unicorn holding a crown between them. If you've stuck this one away in a box of books from your childhood, I suggest dragging it out and reading it again.
    • 4/5
      Maybe You Know This Book.I Have Read This Story Once When I Was A Young,But I Forgot Most Of It ,So I Read This Book.Ther Are Many Humor And I Like It Very Much.I Enjoyed This Book Differently From When I Read This Book In My Childhood.You Should Re-Read This Book!
    • 5/5
      finishing through the looking glass right now. its a strange chess-like dream trip versus Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which is more of a card-playing dream trip. this story is great with some fascinating mathematical puzzles that appear in the story of a young girl who follows a white rabbit through the rabbit hole into Wonderland.
    • 5/5
      This is one of those books that everyone needs to read at least once in his/her lifetime. Aside from my constant amazement at the number of people who seem to think only of the Disney version of Carroll's work, the actual writing itself is unique, strange, and at the same time a wonderful testament to his time. You'll never look at film versions the same way again!
    • 1/5
      I was very young when I read this book and it was very boring and rediculous. Someday, I might look through it again out of curiosity about what makes it so special, but I don't think I could spend very much time with it at all. I read it out of obligation. When the next one started, Through the Looking Glass, I set the book down. I couldn't make myself read amy more.
    • 4/5
      I read this as a child, but I had to reread it as an adult. It's even better the second time around.
    • 3/5
      Everyone always notes how clever these books are, and how ingenious Lewis Carroll was, however, I didn't think they were very clever at all. I think a lot of people give these book much more credit than they deserve. They seem like any story a child would come up with, or someone describing a weird dream. This happens every day and no one claims holds these stories in such high regard. To me these books are senseless ramblings.Additionally, the fact that Lewis Carroll had an inappropriate relationship with the young girl Alice is based on disturbs me and increases my dislike of his works.
    • 4/5
      I love the writing of Lewis Carroll. His brilliance shows through his use of whimsy and the way he plays with words. Also he was able to write a main character whom I absolutely detest, a sure sign of true life within a book. Definitely worth rereading.
    • 4/5
      Pretty interesting light read. I wish I would have read the book before seeing the Disney animation as I couldn't help but think of it as I was reading. I also couldn't help notice that Alice in Wonderland (the cartoon) was a bit darker than the novel, which I found surprising. Through the Looking Glass was a bit more interesting in my opinion as the things didn't appear to be so random. The growing/shrinking wasn't as coherent as the chess board in terms of plot device.
    • 4/5
      I know I read this as a child, and mostly found it boring and a little confusing. I also read Alice to my older son, and he found it boring and confusing (I spent a lot of time explaining).

      Reading it to myself, it is great. Though Alice is 7.5, it's really more of a book for 10 year olds--much younger, and many of the jokes would make no sense. The wordplay is magnificent.
    • 2/5
      Maybe two stars is harsh given that this book must have been ground breaking in its day and for the fact that there is a lot of clever wordplay within it. However, the longer the book went on the more I began to really dislike it. It was one set piece with different characters after another and it got pretty tedious. Ok, it's a children's book but even as a child I was never drawn to this book or the Disney film. This version also contained Through the Looking Glass but although I generally strive to complete books I just couldn't face it when I saw Tweedledee and Tweedledum were to feature in it. Even John Tenniel's illustrations appeared slightly sinister. I was also disappointed to discover that the Dormouse never actually said 'feed your head'.
