Terrible dad jokes and nonsensical poetry. Probably would have done 3 stars if it were Wonderland alone but Looking Glass drug it down

I read this book as a child and LOVED IT! I read it more than once, both stories in this book. Alice and her nonsensical adventures captivated me and took me on a journey I've never fully forgotten.

Ironically, I didn't read this until about 5 years ago when I read it out loud to my daughter....and loved it!

I think I might have appreciated this more if I had read it as a young child! I didn't really enjoy the book, but I can appreciate why it is a classic.

I love the odd style that Carroll's (Dodgson's) Alice stories are written in. A classic that begs to be read with an open mind.

Probably the strangest book that I've ever read, but I think that is what makes it entertaining! I think it's a book that everyone should have the chance to read at some point!

Wow! Double wow! This book is everything and more that you've ever heard about it. It's crazy, funny, scary, highly entertaining, and not for children only. In fact, it's so disturbing, I don't think I would recommend it to children, ha. All you adults out there: this book's for you!

One of the most absurd and hilarious fantasies ever written, and probably my favorite. Was Lewis Carroll on acid when he was writing this? Probably. Does that make it any less historic or amazing? Not even a little bit.
