    I've never seen the Disney movie, or read the book before this. I wasn't sure what I was getting into. What I found was a very enjoyable read, not dated, full of delightful nonsense, gentle satire, and a perfectly little girl. I can see why this is a classic. Small children will love the nonnensical plot, while older kids and adults will enjoy the puzzles that are cleverly hidden inside the story line. A true classic.

    Johansson is an absolutely delightful narrator for this iconic children's story. She brings all the characters to life. Enough has been written about this. I just loved listening to the story. As an adult I can hear the poignant straddling of childhood's joys with childhood's fears, in a manner which endears and delights!

    It's hard to review 2 books at once. I loved the first book. But I was not impressed with the second. Like many, I've been spoiled by movies so I was very disappointed to find out the Jabberwocky was just a poem. I was also surprised at how young Alice truly is in the books. All-in-all was an interesting read.

    The author of this book was either crazy or a genius, maybe both as they tend to walk in pairs.
    Well, this is a classic fable set in a fantasy world where everything could happen. There are so many extravagant characters that you'll lose count. It's is impossible not to fall in love with this book.
    I think I'll rename one of my cats Cheshire.

    While the story is creative, it is also a lot of nonsense. Albeit is supposed to be a dream, it is rather bizarre. I find it odd that the story has such renown. I mildly recommend this book mainly for the value of being familiar with the story because it is so well known.

    I have known this story a little, but I had never read this book. So I decided to read it. This book is easy to read and the story isd interesting. I respect Alice's mind because I am easily scared, I do not have the courage to have an adventure. I want to have the curiosity that Alice have.

    This book was really... random. Some parts were really boring.Personally, I like the mad tea party the best.

    Its been many years since I last read this and it was better than I remember it being and more nonsensical. I think my memory of the book had been warped by the movies (just a bit crap especially the most recent Johnny Depp one!).

    The classic fantasy story, with wonderful pen and ink drawings by Sir John Tenniel. This is THE reading experience I remember from when I was 10.

    6/10.

    A bright and inquisitive child, one boring summer afternoon Alice follows a white rabbit down a rabbit-hole. At the bottom she finds herself in a bizarre world full of strange creatures, and attends a very odd tea party and croquet match. This immensely witty and unique story mixes satire and puzzles, comedy and anxiety, to provide an astute depiction of the experience of childhood.

    Who knew this children's classic was so horrible?? Not as bad as Looking Glass, probably because of having seen the movie I was a little desenstized to the complete and utter nonsense of it all.

    This book is such a classic, how can you not love it! I think this book should be read to all children at some point in their lives, not just watching the movie.

    This novel and its' counterpart, Through the Looking Glass, form a unique portrayal of fantasy that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. Adults may also appreciate the wonderful wordplay and levels of humor that make these books classics. As a result, Lewis Carroll has been one of my favorites for more than fifty years.

    A good way to introduce a child to the idea that words and sentences can have multiple meaning depending upon the context. A sort of point-of-view pontification.

    This was a lot of fun! Gleefully absurd, thick with wordplay and puns (some of which I had to go back and re-read in an English accent to "get"), and a quick, joyful little read. I highly recommend this to anyone, whether or not you've seen any of the film adaptations - I've seen most, and I was still missing out until I read this.

    Listened to this on CD. Alice's adventures after she falls down a rabbit hole chasing the white rabbit. She runs into several other characters, the cheshire cat, the queen of hearts, the tortise, and has quite an imaginative adventure in wonderland.

    What is now called family entertainment, the story follows the young girl through fantastic episodes, with every magical element described.

    I grew up watching the animated Disney version of this story and I thought the book would be exactly like the movie. They are very similar, however I feel the book has political messages that aren't really developed in the movie. Overall, I liked the book and I was entertained even though I saw the movie first.

    This is a fun book. Not that race makes a difference but I do like that Alice in this book is of "color". Alice in Wonderland is a classic and favorite story of mine. I was on the journey from the beginning to the end with Alice. Young readers will have an enjoyable time looking at the pictures as well as reading this book. Parents will want to check out all of the books in this line by Penguin.

    "Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?"Through the Looking Glass is much better, but you'd have to be an unfeeling clod to not like Alice in Wonderland. Or perhaps have had unfeeling clods for parents who didn't introduce you to Alice before you were old enough to think the puns were a little overboard.
