Summary: Better for a child
Comment: I read this book recently because I never had as a child. I love the disney movie and through the looking glass film, so I decided that I needed to give the book a shot. I am 21 now, and the book was a bore to me. Those two films were very similar to the book, I recomend them instead (which is something I don't usually do.) It could not keep my interest because there was to much going on to fast. I do believe a child would get a kick out of it, but as for me, nope.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!
Comment: Alice, a young girl who follows the White Rabbit into his hole where there are many unexpected thing that Alice never thinks of it before. Here Alice will shrink or grow depending upon her drinking or eating. First shrinking occurs when she drinks a labeled bottle "drink me", but when she eats the cake that noted, "eat me", she grows up. Moreover, she still meets the Mouse and other animals that are swimming away from the large pool of tears that Alice created while she grows up. When all arrive the shore, they try to get dry by a Caucus-race that suggests by the Dodo. Then, Alice continues to chase the White Rabbit. Now he returns and commands Alice to find him a fan and groves in his house. Here she drinks from an unlabeled bottle that causes her growing until fill up the house. She is getting into a trouble, however, she can escape by eating a small piece of cake, and runs into the woods where she meets a hookah - smoking Caterpillar who teaches to shrink or grow by eating a mushroom. Next, she goes to the Duchess house where she and a baby pig escape together by helping from the grinning Cheshire Cat. After leaving the baby pig, she stops at the March Hare's house, where she gets involved in the Mad party with the March Hare, the Hatter and the Dormouse. Not so long, Alice leaves and comes to the hall and finds a little golden key. Now she can open the door enter to the beautiful garden where she has to play croquet with the Queen of Hearts who often shouts "off with her o/ his head". It is a dangerous game. Then, the Queen leads Alice to meet the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle who tell her the story of the lobster quadrille and the school experiences. At the end, Alice becomes a witness, and also is accused in a trail in the case of the stolen tart. She wakes up before judging and finds all are dream and finds herself on the riverbank where starts the story.
The readers are able to guess easily what the story is about from the tile. But, when the book is read, it could hardly know what will happen next. That is because the whole book is full of unexpected things. However, the children or the adults can read it with enjoyment according to the fit imaginations that the author expresses through the written characters and the pictures to the reader.

Summary: "A unique, clever man with the heart of a child."
Comment: Such was the epitaph an actor spoke of C. L. Dodgson, aka. Lewis Carroll. Biographers Agree: Clever, excellent at charades, possessor of an "ear" for dialect and a sophisticated "eye" for visual arts: in sum, tremendous fun to be around. Fortunately, someone named "Liddell" convinced him to publish his stories.
This volume includes melancholy works, "Three Voices" "Faces in the Fire", &etc.. The "Sylvie & Bruno" stories are appreciated by patient adults. Still, "the Snark" and "Phantasmagoria" are talented siblings of Alice and the White Rabbit. An excellent grouping, even though I peer at the small print.
