Product Description
On a glorious summer’s afternoon, young Alice happens upon a smartly dressed rabbit looking at his watch and muttering, “I’m too late!” This not being an everyday occurence, she follows him down a nearby rabbit hole and falls into Wonderland. Lewis Carroll’s timeless children’s tales are magically brought to life in this new adaptation by Adrian Mitchell.
Amazon.com Review“And what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “lacking pictures or conversations?”
Taking to heart his charming, insatiably curious heroine’s words, Lewis Carroll worked many long hours (days, months…) with illustrator Sir John Tenniel to make the most perfect pictures imaginable for what were to become instant classics: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. When thinking about Alice and her dreamy surrealistic adventures down the rabbit hole and behind the looking-glass, who can help picturing the golden-haired girl in her lilac dress and striped stockings, staring up at the Cheshire Cat or arguing with Tweedledum and Tweedledee? Tenniel’s drawings remained black and white for over 40 years until 1911, when eight prints in each book were hand colored. Now, for the first time, every remaining illustration has been colored, building these the first editions to feature all of the original art in full color. Traditionalists need not worry: colorist Diz Wallis colored proofs taken from Tenniel’s carefully preserved woodblocks, remaining faithful to his original drawings. The gorgeous tones of these new hardcover editions look as natural as can be; they could just as easily be from the 19th century. (Ages 9 and older) –Emilie Coulter

I truly feel sorry for any child forced to read this book in school. Reading it as an adult was no better. It was possibly the most warped and perverse tale I have ever read in my life. Most passages were pure nonsense while others lead the reader to marvel if Lewis Carroll had possibly tasted some of the mushrooms Alice came upon in her adventure. There are many additional “classics” out there more enjoyable and logical than this one.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was an extremely ridiculous and confusing book. The characters were mis leading and Alice was very annoying (from the small details I read throughout the book). This book would be a excellent for fantasy lovers, but to me it was unrealistic and childish. Some of the things the characters said and did in the tale were confusing and to some extent intricate. I don’t know if I would recommend this book to younger children because of its wording, but it was a child-like book and would attract young readers in a way. The writer writes in a unusual, seemingly “ancient fashioned” way. You could tell the book wasn’t written recently by the language usage. Alice is a young girl who is very bright and adventurous. On her way down to Wonderland, she meets alot of new characters. Some are decieving like the treaser cat but all of the very intresting and USUAL, such as the Mad Hater, The Queen of Hearts, etc. The way the leader worded things in the book, made me get confused and unintrested. I had no desire in reading it after the first few pages. I thought the book was far fetched, and seriously i wouldn’t recommend this book to teens or children.

Have you ever read the book Alice in Wonderland? Well if you haven’t, “Don’t”. Overall it wasn’t that terrible of a book, but it was extremely confusing. In my opinion this book could have been written a lot better. For example, it could have been alot less confusing and more realistic. The main reason I didn’t exactly delight in Alice in Wonderland was because it needed to be more pleased,then miserable. Here are some more reasons why you should not read this dull book. Alice in Wonderland could have been written a lot better. The leader’s language usage was a bit hard to comprehend,like when the caterpillar was talking to Alice about a crocodile and when the cat was giving Alice directions. Also, the scenes were fleeting and they jumped right into each additional too quickly. Most of the animals were rude and mean to Alice. The flowers shooed her away, the queen tried to cut off her head and the cat was permanently building her mad by lying. Another part that didn’t make any sense was the tea party,there’s no such thing aa a “Very Merry Unbirthday”. Also the Mad Hatter and the Hare wouldn’t listen to Alice when she was trying to tell her tale. All the creatures and animals kept Alice from what she was trying to do which was to follow the white rabbit. Alice met many,many creatures such as Tweedle Dee,Tweedle Dum,Do Do,Bill, Rabbit,Cat,Queen of Hearts,Caterpillar,Playing cards,Mad Hatter,Hare,Flowers,Pig and the Door Knob. This book made me just as frustrated and upset as it made Alice.I felt like I was in the book and I could feel all the confusion and nonsense going on. If I had to give my overall opinion of how excellent the book was I would give it 2 stars.So, in conclusion I want to let everyone know that Alice in Wonderland was not worth reading, so don’t waste your time! Go get yourself an appealing book to read!

Ok, so everyone says that Alice in Wonderland was such a wonderful book, yes,yes, I am aware. But, I thought it was very confusing and all the characters were very stupid. I mean, it’s not even a book about anything. Sure, it’s trying to say that shes is growing up in the process of the dumb dream world but who cares?It was a terrible way to write a tale, or better yet it was a terrible tale to write about in the 1st place.
