Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Alice in Wonderland
I enjoyed this little tale a lot!When I was a young girl, Alice in Wonderland was probably my favourite modern fairy tale. I watched so many adaptions, from really old Disney cartoons to the modern Tim Burton adaption with my favourite actress Helena Bonham Carter, and I even participated in a play that was based on Alice in Wonderland.
However, to this day, I have never read the actual book by Lewis Carrol. I only knew the plot from the movie adaptions and the theatre script, and was amazed to find out how much they all left out.
Alice in Wonderland is so, so much more than the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Cheshire Cat. That is what I found out, after all of these years, and I'm so glad I decided to read the book for elsewise I would've never known these grandious characters.
Now, especially in the Tim Burton Movie they added a lot of the sequel, Through the looking glass and what Alice found there, into the movie and left out lot of characters that might have been so minor, but they were so lovely in the actual tale!
I adored the pigeon that was looking for serpents and mistook Alice as one, the sad, sad Mock Turtle and the cute, sleepy little dormouse. I might also be slightly biased because I adooore pigeons and turtles, but really, they were great characters. And so was the duchess with her morals, that would have been something I would have certainly missed out on.
The writing style was OK I'd say. I mean I don't know whether it was good for the standards of that time, but I found it to be a little too descriptive, although there weren't too many unnecessary descriptions in the book. The dialogues and the characters of the animals were grandious though, and I chuckled every here and there.
Personally, I thought this was a great book, but nothing too special in writing. Furthermore, I am afraid that having seen so many adaptions has kind of killed my joy about the plot, because if I wouldn't have known about Alice in Wonderland before, I would have been able to enjoy this much, much more. Anyway. It was a solid three star book and I have absolutely nothing to complan about.
By the way, there is a second movie coming out, again starring brilliant Helena Bonham Carter and magnificent Johnny Depp. I so love these two, especially when they team up with Tim Burton. I can hardly wait!

I read this book because I thought it was something else. Someone was telling me about a really interesting book about a girl who found a place in her dreams called wonderland and said it was really exciting and interesting. This one is kind of bland and plain, and the main character doesn't really have a personality. Unless they meant that the cartoon is the thing that's interesting, maybe. The book must be too deep for me, all of the lessons my friend was talking about seem to have went overI'm sorry but I just didn't get it. I even read this for a Philosophy class because the professor recommended it so highly. Still don't get it.

In Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, the story line is simply complex. Basically, a young girl named Alice falls into a rabbit hole. Alice travels through the rabbit hole to magical world known as Wonderland. Wonderland is full of unreal creatures. Alice encounters a white rabbit, mad hatter, talking flowers, a large caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat and much more. Alice also means the Queen of Hearts. The Queen of Hearts sends Alice with the Gryphon as her escort to meet the Mock Turtle. Alice
I think so much so I am not going to write a review about this book. But. This book is a classic and very intrinsic. Food for thought.
I had never read Alice when I was child, but now I understand why it's a classic. The entire story is unique from the White Rabbit to the Queen of Hearts to the Mad Hatter and all the characters in Wonderland. And while the characters may seem crazy, I actually thought they made a whole lot of sense (or maybe I'm just as crazy as them). And, come to think of it, there really isn't any sort of plot; at least, not a conventional one. There's no evil to destroy, no knight in shining armor, no
