Summary: Both Alice books are my two favorite reads.
Review: Ever since I can remember, I've loved watching "Alice in Wonderland". About, oh, five or six ago, when I was about 13 or 14, I bought this book, containing both Alice books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.No matter how many times I read these two books, I never just stop in the middle and not finish. It's amazing howthe two stood the test of times. Now, at 19, I still read them all the time.

Summary: Absolutely weird
Review: How does one go about figuring out a book like this? As entertaining and totally bizarre as ALICE is, I can’t help but wondering if the whole of it is structured in any meaningful way. The experience itself is like a dream, or more probably also like a drug induced high, and the story is infinitely fascinating. It seemed to me (I had never read it as a child) that adults can appreciate this more than a child can, since the child can probably find the plot more humorous than illogical. I am curious as to what Lewis Carroll’s math lectures were like.

Summary: Absolutely Charming!
Review: I am a teenager and I thoroughly enjoyed Alice in Wonderland and the sequel, Through the Looking Glass. It was full of fantasy and illusion that made you feel as though you were walking through Wonderland with Alice. The innocence and simplicity is wonderful.
I am often disappointed that people feel that if they watch a movie, there is no need to read the book. But the book is 100% better than any movie.
As a writer myself, I can only hope to write a book half as imaginative and charming as this one.

Summary: good book
Review: I feel that this was a really good book. Like most people, I'd seen various versions of the movie Alice in Wonderland and was curious about the books, particularly Through the Looking Glass, which is never mentioned anywhere. The movies are based on a combination of elements from both books, includnig quirky poems with imaginary words.
There were a lot of concepts that aren't in any movies I've seen, such as the talking chess pieces. Instead of one queen, there are two queens and two kings, just as in chess. This isn't just a children's book. I feel it's interesting for all ages.

Summary: A CLASSIC
Review: I first read Alice's Adventures when I was about nine or ten years old, and you know what, I didn't really like it. It didn't make any sense, I told my mother. It's not serious enough for me.
But years later, at age twenty, I acted on a whim and read it a second time. And I was captivated. No other book matches Alice in humor, oddness, or bizarre characters. All the imitators (and there have been many) have failed because they couldn't manage to hold together their story's oddness with such a strong, flowing narrative or protaganist as lovable as Alice. Lewis Carroll's plot drifts effortlessly from one bizarre situation to another with sublime grace. His genius was that he went into the bizarre without going to far; his creativity never turned cheap. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is an adult's children book. I doubt that children will, or even can, enjoy it to the extent that adults will. When I read it at age nine I wanted it to have some kind of meaning, some raison d'etre--how ironic that now I'm an adult and its dreamlike feel is just the kind of break from reality I could use. Of course children can love these stories too, and I don't want to give anyone the idea that Alice and Looking Glass are stories only for adults. Your kids probably don't read anything other than the Harry Potter books, over and over, so why not give them something else? Some other things about Alice in Wonderland make it such a classic. It was unique in its time (and still so) for its complete lack of moralizing. It doesn't tell you how good boys and girls should act, or turn into a good-vs-evil tale. Its protaganist, Alice, has to be one of the greatest characters, female or otherwise, in all literature. Her cleverness and logic are Wonderful. So buy the book. The edition to get is one with the original illustrations.

Summary: Classic Storytelling
Review: I have grown up watching Disney's Alice in Wonderland, and knowing what liberties Disney is known to take in their movies, I wanted to read the original story for myself. And I'm glad I did. Lewis Carol was such a wonderful storyteller, full of imagination and creative use of the English language. This was two stories in one. The first, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, I thought had more imagination and he action seemed to flow faster with more scenes and challenges for Alice to deal with. The characters are fantastic and highly imaginative. The second story, Through the Looking Glass, also had a lot of imagination, but it didn't seem to have as fast a pace as the first book. Still, I found it fascinating as the story was done as if Alice were a chess piece moving across a chess board to reach the other side as a pawn to become a queen. As she moved up the chess board, she encountered different characters and situations. Highly recommended, even if it was written as a child's book.

Summary: Through the Looking Glass
Review: I loved reading this book because I enjoy reading about magical lands. I like these kinds of book because I love fairy tales. I think that anyone who doesn't have any boundries on their imagination would like this book Lewis Carroll finds ways to make the reader think, he wrote in this book "Divide a loaf of bread by a knife." "That is equal to bread and butter, of course." He also use poems to boggel the mind. Alice goes through many adventures and meets many interinteresting people and things. To find out who and what she meets, I guess that you will just have to read the book for yourself.

Summary: Alice in Wonderland
Review: I rate Alice in Wonderland a 3 star rating. The author is very creative in this novel; she uses the literary element personifications through out the whole book. She does a very good job with this by how she portrays the character in the book, (ex: the Queen as a snob). Alice (the protagonist) starts off by following a white rabbit to a hole. This late and timid creature leads her into Wonderland. Wonderland is a place of creation and imagination. The dream like setting gives her the adventure, like a labyrinth. The fairytale like mood in the story gives a sense of fantasy, adventure as she meets and encounters many creatures of the dreamland world. She finds herself lost and goes along with what ever she comes across the unknown world. She finds herself with decisions and she has to make to get to one point to the other. I think that this story has really no point, its just nonsense of fairytale she tells to little kids. She even said that she told this during a trip to entertain three little girls. To me the story was a pointless adventure. Yes, she creates a great tone and mood for the setting yet the body of the story was boring to me. The only point I got from it was an internal conflict of whether to take one road or not, like whether to take and drink certain things and what she should do with the moment.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER!!
Review: I think this book is very imaginative and fun to read. In the first part where she's in Wonderland she goes through a world of nonsense and is trying to find a way out. In Through the Looking Glass she goes through a mirror into a backwards world. I would encourage anyone to read this book because it encourages people to use their imagination and to learn that stuff happens you just have to find the correct way to deal with it.
My favorite character was the Duchess in the first part because she was very annoying and didn't even know it also she has a very comical cook who's obsessed with pepper. My favorite part of the book was when Alice met the Mad Hatter and the March Hare at their tea party.
