Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

[Listened to the audiobook narrated by Stacey Arthur.]

the hold that the 1991 live action Alice In Wonderland held on me is the main reason I read this book

My 8 year old grandson was performing in a local theatre production of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
He already watched several versions of Alice in Wonderland on the screen, and decided it would be fun to listen to the audiobook.
This was a great book and the narrator did a wonderful job.

Good book to pass the time.

Short Review: I am trying to read more old books. So I am working through a bunch of books that Audible.com was giving away as a promotion for their immersive reading/whispersync. Alice in Wonderland is short. Everyone already knows the story line. But I have read enough classics to know that the commonly understood story line is often wrong. But here is it is mostly true. The problem is Alice. She is a brat. And the book really does read like a drug trip. It is a mess as a narrative. It is only 2.5 hours long and I still almost didn't finish it.


My slightly longer review is on my blog at http://bookwi.se/alice/

This book is actually beyond my expectation.
I'm familiar enough with the Disney's version, and I think the original version is far more deep and complicated.
My favorite quote is “If everybody minded their own business, the world would go round a deal faster than it does”
