Glad jeg leste den nå og ikke når jeg var liten, alle er superfrekk og overrasket over slutten. Søte illustrasjoner i denne utgaven.

Curiouser and Curiouser!
Alice is sitting quietly with her sister, falling further and further into sleep when suddenly a white rabbit dressed in fine clothes hops by her in quite a hurry. She follows the rabbit down his hole and finds herself tumbling into a wacky world full of mad creatures.
I went into this book fully expecting it to be bizarre, and it did not disappoint! The illustrations in my copy (by John Tenniel) showcased a strange style and hilarious characters. The plot moved along without any sort of linear fashion, and it was quite dreamlike in the description, with Alice being in one place then suddenly another, with her forgetting lines to songs she knows well, and with characters either fully agreeing or blatantly disagreeing with her.
This book is written in third-person perspective, and while it has a lot of Alice’s inner monologue (which I normally hate because it’s rarely done well) I’d say it was done well here. It fits with the style and language seen throughout the book, and there was a good balance between Alice’s thoughts and the words that she speaks aloud.
Pacing went along smoothly. Since it’s a short story, Alice moved from place to place in every chapter, but it didn’t seem rushed or drawn out. Each of the twelve chapters showed Alice interacting with new, mad characters, and none of the interactions seemed out of place or unnecessary, as there were numerous callbacks throughout the story. As with dreams, the characters moved in and out of her story almost at random, and Alice did things and thought things in the way that dreamers do: with full acceptance. Growing and shrinking? She found it interesting—if a bit inconvenient at times. The assortment of human-handed animals and the living deck of cards? Bizarre, but nothing to throw a fit over. Alice walks through Wonderland like she owns the place, with all the sense of ownership and entitlement of a snotty child, all the while still being an endearing main character.
The Hatter’s peculiarity goes above and beyond; it almost seems like he can’t hold a conversation and yet it still works (up until the point Alice just walks away out of annoyance). Something funny I found out recently is that in the original books by Lewis Carroll, he was never once called “The Mad Hatter”. He’s simply “Hatter” (or “Hatta” in The Looking Glass). I guess the name just stuck over time. Another fun fact is that back in the day, hatters often went mad because of mercury poisoning (mercury was used in the making of hats); this is clearly part of the inspiration for the famous character.
There are so many other characters, too, that are memorable, such as the March Hare, the White Rabbit, the Duchess and her Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and even Bill the Lizard.

i think this is one of the only times you'll hear me say the movie was better than the book. there is no plot, everything seemed so *unimportant* (as the book says). as much as i love the movie and this story, i was eager to just be done with it.
edit: upon reading another review, i have a new perspective of the book. i often forget this was Alice's dream. the book did an excellent job of capturing that, as Alice jumped from place to place with little to no recollection, just like in dreams. she forgot lyrics to songs she knew well, and all of the characters were mad, much like dream characters are. from this new perspective, i change my rating from 2 to 3 stars :)

We had this book at home growing up though this is the first time I think I’ve read it. I remember the one at home being quite big and long but the story itself is quite short as this book was only just over 100 pages. I love this Chiltern version with quirky illustrations.

The illustrations are beautiful and Alice’s crazy dream is as good as I remembered as a child. I love these classic books they are so pretty and occasionally I read them as well. My inner child was in love

Loved, loved, loved this classic!!!! Everyone should read this book! I found it weirdly fascinating! I actually enjoyed it much more than the movies and cartoon versions I’ve seen of this book!

I always love this classic tale! One of my favorites from childhood.

Very interesting book, and confusing but in a good way. Haven't ever read a book written like that before and probably won't find one like that again.

I know this will be an unpopular decision, but after reading, I did not feel any sort of satisfaction for having read this book, besides the fact that I read a classic. 😬

A fantastic read, felt strange to be mad while reading, his writing style is great and this is one of few books I've picked up that was heavy with Reread ability.

A coming-of-age-type fairytale world built on a daydream - where nothing is quite as it seems, a dream within a dream.
