Summary: An imaginative story

Summary: Not Only For Children
Review: "Be who you are," said the Duchess to Alice. "Or, if you would like it put more simply, never try to be what you might have been or could have been, other than what you should have been."Recently, I was in the blues, and was lightened to see this phrase hanging in front of a science professor's room. Though it is a shortened phrase from the original, I was intrigued at the message that this book gives to a grownup. There are some books that was clever satires of their times, which has been 'downgraded' to the level of children's books like "Gulliver's Travel' or 'The Little Prince." Clearly, "Alice in Wonderland" also has some of it. Although Lewis Carroll may not have thought of it, what he told the three girls on that fateful day is for also all past-children who are now grownups. Actually, it seems that it was an interpretation of the grown-ups world for the children through the eyes of this little girl, Alice, who also happens to be the person who insisted that this Oxford-Mathematician publish the story that he told her. If you sometimes feel that things are not going your way, you might want to pick this book up. It may work, just like for me and that professor.

Summary: One of the best books I have read (no exagerration)
Review: While this is generally considered a "children's book", Alice In Wonderland can only be fully appreciated by adults or teenagers. It contains so many private jokes, grammar puns, and other such stuff that a child would not understand it, really. I first read it when I was in first grade, a rather hard book really for first graders, and loved it incredibly. But rereading every year of my life since then (I am now fifteen) one finally can truly relish the great puns and imaginative ideas that Carroll (or Dodgson, his real name) placed within this extremely random book. Yes, there really isn't much of a single plot. It jumps from place to place. Just like a real dream. I don't understand why some people think that this is "scary" for little children though. C'mon, the Wizard of Oz and Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes (when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall- if little children aren't afraid of THAT, I don't what would scare them) is more frightening than this beautifully-crafted story. Note that the Queen of Hearts, though she has an insatiable urge to decapitate every person she sees, never really kills anyone- the Griffin says so. It's not frightening, rather, it's full of what little children like- randomness, smiling cats, violent-tempered queens, talking rabbits, and imaginary animals. If one is discovering this book for the first time, let it enchant you. If you are re-discovering this book, find in it the things you couldn't find before. If you are simply re-reading it for the fiftieth time (like me), then enjoy every single moment of it. It really is one of the best books I have read, right up there with- dare I say it- Colour Purple and Les Miserables. Yes, even Les Miserables.

Summary: It's so logical, it doesn't make sense!
Review: Most people think about "Alice in Wonderland" as being some little kid book about nonsense. Actually, Lewis Carroll was a very smart man. He invented Wonderland to show people truths in their own world most people wouldn't even bother thinking about. In fact, I think the whole point of the book is that even though Wonderland seems so unreal and full of nonsence, it's really just the same as our own world! I admit, I was curious about what a book so popular written for children would be like. It was great! I'd recomend it to anyone!

Summary: This is one of the best movies ever!!!
Review: I saw this movie as a kid and my family taped it but we lost the first half and I never get to see it and I finally found it here!! It is so good, and a hundred times better then the Disney version and the new tv version.

Summary: An inbelievable trip!
Review: I first saw this movie on TV when it aired in '85 and have been wondering where I could get a copy of it ever since. I must have been about six or seven at the time; now I'm a college and I still think this movie rocks! This is a great family movie with more than 40 of show business's all-time greatest stars and I encourage everyone to at least take a peak at this great film. The Jabberwalkie creature did give me a few bad dreams as a kid, but as I kid, I also didn't appreciate Sammy Davis, Jr.'s great performance as the catepillar. So this is one you older folks will definitely enjoy!
