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.
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)
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.
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 just reread Alice for the first time in about four years and Through the Looking Glass for the first time in probably 15 years. I've never really loved either one of these but Looking Glass is still a struggle for me to get through. I like the idea of all this...but the actual story bores me to tears! ha! ( )
I read it because portions of the book are used as examples in a bunch of philosophical things (eg Humpty-Dumpty's idea that when he uses a word, it means exactly what he chooses it to mean). Obviously it's a children's book, but it's interesting and the dream-like landscape is genuinely scary - a queen constantly calling for executions is a scary thought no matter what the outcome - and creative. Each set piece has is its own fascinating idea and some are laugh out loud funny. ( )
Let me sing you a song. Most people cry when they hear it:
This book didn't speak to me like other classics have, but then again, no book has actually ever spoken to me for they have no mouths nor tongues.
I'm happy to have read it I didn't ever dread it But most of the time I thought "What is this really about?"
Finishing this book was no impossible thing even if it wasn't my favorite. It made me realize one thing So I shouldn't feel sad Because now I know that I'm probably just mad. ( )

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.

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.
