Synopsis
'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the nonsensical Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.

Overrated?
I have just re-read Alice Wonderland; last time I read it I was a teen & loved it, now, I just found it annoying, especially Lewis carroll's writing style, very childlike, (perhaps he was aiming for that)?
I agree with previous reviews that the Mock Turtle is the best character in the book with some very cleve lines, but this didn't outweigh how much I wanted to strangle Alice by the end of the book!
Robert's Review of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", written by Lewis Carroll, has been entertaining people of all ages for decades. The book is one continuous use of imagination and that is the only thing that is continuous in the story. This story is not dull, it is far from it. In fact, the only dull part is after you've finished the book, real life seems boring.
This book can be read by people of all ages because it is not difficult to understand, it is short, and it has many fun ideas which will make people of all ages laugh. I recommend this book to anyone who has an imagination or had one at one time.
