ForeignCircus: great fictional look at the life of Alice Liddell who helped inspire Alice in Wonderland. Definitely an adult read as it deals with the semi-disturbing relationship between Alice Liddell and Charles Dodgson.
madmarch: This manga is based on and contains a multitude of references to the Alice books- a lot of them only extreme fans will get. Not suitable for pre-adolescents.
Usuari anònim: Strong link to the Alice books. From the Amazon description: When absent-minded Professor Random misplaces the main character from Alice in Wonderland, young Henry Witherspoon must book-jump to fetch Alice before chaos theory kicks in and the world vanishes. Along the way he meets Winnie Flapjack, a wit-cracking doodle witch with nothing to her name but a magic feather and a plan. Such as it is. Henry and Winnie brave the Dark Queen, whatwolves, pirates, Struths, and fluttersmoths, Priscilla and Charybdis, obnoxiously cheerful vampires, Baron Samedi, a nine-dimensional cat, and one perpetually inebriated Muse to rescue Alice and save the world by tea time.… (més)
Kolbkarlsson: Östergrens stories have a strong Wonderland influence, both in it's strange logic and surreal tone. Both are contained universes, explored by girls or girl figures, sharing the same trappings.
elbakerone: Beddor takes an alternative look at Alice's story. Fans of the original may appreciate the new telling and fans of Beddor's reworking will likely enjoy Carroll's classic.
I was so looking forward to finally reading this book. In fact, it was my "Summer Read" this year. I have enjoyed many quotes from the story that I thought I would be jotting a clever line down every couple of minutes.
My very first impression: wth?
I have read many "children's" books but this one is bordering on psychotic. That being said, if one remembers that it was written a very long time ago, 1870's, then it is quite an extraordinary story. Full of fantastical creatures and talking objects. It is like a dream put to words. I am quite surprised it was even published and that he wasn't burned at the stake. I remember an author visiting at a school who talked about why his first story was rejected: the mountains talked. Guess his publisher hadn't read this classic either.
I finished the first part, Alice in Wonderland and thought, well, maybe all the good quotes are in the second book, so I continued to read. About 3/4's of the way through, I began to itch. My skin felt like it was too small to contain me. I really wanted to just finish the story and be done with it.
I did like the final poem. I never found any quotes that I liked. I was looking for one with Alice saying to the Mad Hatter that we are all mad. I don't anticipate reading anymore Alice books. I am very thankful for all of our current juvenile/young adult authors who can write a comprehensible story not all based on crazy dreams. And who don't make my skin itch.
This is one of my lifetime favorite books. The Alice stories never grow old and I learn more about them every time I read them. That is one of the hallmarks of classic literature and these two novels are part of that pantheon. ( )
Alice in Wonderland was the first book I remember reading after learning to read. It was time to revisit it! There’s nothing quite like this fantasy about a little girl who falls down a rabbit hole and meets all manner of strange creatures and adventures. I was just as delighted this time around as I was as a child. I don’t recall ever having read Through the Looking Glass before, although I am very familiar with many of its characters and elements. I’ve had Jabberwocky memorized since high school, when my choir performed a musical adaptation.
The stories might initially seem like pointless nonsense, but both are journey/exploration stories. Alice overcomes a series of obstacles in her first journey of exploration, such as growing very large and shrinking very small. In her second adventure, Alice is trying to reach the eighth square in order to become a queen in the living chess game she finds herself in.
Alice in Wonderland gets a full five stars. Through the Looking Glass doesn’t have quite the same magic, so I give it four stars. ( )
A very real little girl named Alice follows a remarkable rabbit down a rabbit hole and steps through a looking-glass to come face to face with some of the strangest adventures and some of the oddest characters in all literature.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversation in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"
One thing was certain, that the white kitten had nothing to do with it—it was the black kitten’s fault entirely.

"In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter; and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like; they're both mad."
"I only wish I had such eyes," the King remarked in a fretful tone. "To be able to see Nobody! And at this distance too! Why, it's as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!"
Off with his head!
I'm very brave, generally . . . only today I happen to have a headache.
"One can’t believe impossible things."
"I dare say you haven’t had much practice. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop.
'What is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures?'

Lastly, she pictured herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.
