Customer Reviews

This should not be your first introduction to Alice.

An occasional review will focus on this point. Alice in Wonderland is no more a children's book than "The Lord of the Rings". Occasionally, this and “Through the Looking-Glass” are bundled. If you are lucky, they will include "The Wasp in a Wig," a recently discovered episode Carroll deleted from Through the Looking-Glass, but which fits into the story in interesting ways. The reason this five-star out of 5 stars book gets fewer stars occasionally is not because of its contents or purpose; it is because of either being mistaken for a kid's book, in which case one wonders why it is forced on kids, or it is so dated that even the reader thinks it is g-o-b-b-l-e-d-y-g-o-ok. The original book is filled with references to contemporary items and wordplay from the era. Many modified and retold books lose this. If you fall into either of these categories, you need to purchase "The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition" first; this will clear up the understandable confusion. Be aware that every sentence is a play on words, a jab at the culture of that time. I will not go through the story, as that is why you are buying this book. However, I will say that it is a classic and should be part of everyone's cultural education. When you make it through this book and enjoy it, the next challenge should be "Alice's Abenteuer Im Wunderland,” German Translation. If you are also interested in sci-fi, then you should try to obtain a copy of "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" by Henry Kuttner. If you are into music, then “Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit.” An interesting view of Alice.
