About this audiobook

Inmortales aventuras para grandes y ninos. Alicia en el pais de las Maravillas es una de esas obras magicas de la literatura que apela tanto a grandes como a ninos, ya que para los primeros esta la ironia y el fino humor con que Carroll se burlaba de las convenciones sociales de su tiempo, mientras que los mas pequenos pueden seguir, tambien con una sonrisa, las increibles aventuras de Alicia en ese lugar donde todo parece suceder al reves. Carroll, que creo esta obra maestra de la literatura universal, como entretenimiento para una amiguita, hija de unos vecinos era en sus momentos serios un catedratico respetado de matematicas, y nunca imagino que esa creacion le diera la inmortalidad. Sumergirse en ese maravilloso mundo a donde nos lleva Alicia es uno de esos placeres unicos que permite la literatura.

    Yes, I'm sure that I read this before, but what a treat to read it at my rapidly-advancing age. Not unlike the Oz books, I find this tale much smaller, in a way, than the vague, vast, and varied inklings from popular culture, but also more bizarre and interesting in its details. Looking forward to a (return) trip with Alice through the looking glass.

    I have this long list of books from BBC of the best literary books to read that I plan on going through. Most of the books on the list are books that I have heard others talking about for years. They are the classics that I feel I must read eventually to know anything about what is being said about them, and have something of my own to comment. This book was on the list. I’ve seen the Disney animation years ago and so that was what I was going off of for expectations. While it had its many differences as movies versus books are bound to have, it was at its core, the same – a little weird. I sort of enjoyed listening o the book but I was left with the feeling I had after watching the movie – what a curious story. Yet maybe the whole idea was about a child’s imagination? I’m not sure. I do know that not much of the book made sense and yet that seemed to be the intent. As said in the summary this is a ‘brilliant use of nonsense’. But the book isn’t very long and while nonsensical, it is still a bit enjoyable.

    "Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?"Through the Looking Glass is much better, but you'd have to be an unfeeling clod to not like Alice in Wonderland. Or perhaps have had unfeeling clods for parents who didn't introduce you to Alice before you were old enough to think the puns were a little overboard.

    I read this book long ago while in middle school, and viewed it as simply a silly and nonsensical children's fantasy.However, I just re-read it, having become aware that this book is famous for it's allegoric philosophical and mathematical conceptions.The unbelievable, child like fantasy world of Wonderland is charming, and filled with things such as lakes made of tears, Mad Hatters, the Queen of Hearts, rabbit holes, and clocks that don't tell time.However, while this aspect is what meets the readers eye upon a first, cursory impression, this intricate book has far more depth, if you care to look.There is a strong sense of logic - almost in a satirical fashion, through-out the book. The concept of limit, inverse relationships, and mathematical logic is scattered through the plot, but mainly and most noticeably found at the Mad Tea Party and the first scene with the Cheshire Cat.Whether you care to look deeply into it, or simply leave "Alice in Wonderland" as a unique and inventive children's fantasy, this book is amazing!

    A must for the cultural literacy, but so often mimiced that Alice itself reads as an imitation. The puns are better read in print than listened to. Disney has the Adventures down. The lesser Looking Glass is a bit forced as a sequel.

    At first I thought that this was a story that I would love to read to my children. However, after reading this I am not so sure. There were times when I laughed at the child-like humor and then there were times when I was just like what? Some of the logic and the tales told in this story were hard to follow, so I am pretty sure it would be hard for children as well. I do understand the moral behind the story though. If you ever need to take a step back from stressful everyday life then this may be the story for you.

    This is a wonderful retelling of Alice's Adventure in Wonderland. This book includes wonderful illustration, flip-up and pop-outs throughout the story. It combines Graphic art styles with traditional fairytale illustration.

    I so love this book! I first read it in eighth grade, and I've read it several times since, both on my own and to my children. This was my first time listening to this audio edition. You really can't go wrong with Jim Dale. Even my 4yo and (nearly) 9yo get excited when they find out Dale is narrating one of the audio books we've picked up from the library.

    Alice in Wonderland vertelt het verhaal van de kleine Alice die in slaap sukkelt bij een uitstapje en in haar droom een wit konijn achterna rent door een pijp. Ze komt in een volledig andere wereld terecht en wordt geconfronteerd met de meest vreemde schepsels: eigenaardige dieren en levende kaarten, enzovoort. Allemaal zijn ze druk met zichzelf bezig en niet echt er op uit Alice beter te leren kennen. Die vraagt zichzelf trouwens geregeld af wie ze eigenlijk is. De gekste gebeurtenissen doen zich voor en de gekste teksten worden de lezer voorgeschoteld, tot Alice uiteindelijk weer ontwaakt.Achter de spiegel borduurt voort op dat thema, zelfs in een nog hogere versnelling. Alice geraakt in een spiegel en komt buiten het zichtsveld weer in een vreemde wereld terecht. Vooral de schaakfiguren beheersen hier de zaak. Er zijn andermaal tal van zonderlinge figuren. De dialogen hebben nog meer dubbele bodems dan tevoren. Maar het geheel geeft een zo mogelijk nog verwarder en daardoor ondoorgrondelijker indruk dan het vorige verhaal. Op de duur wordt het - zeker bij een lectuur voor kinderen - gewoon ontoegankelijk. Het einde is vrij abrupt.

    Listened to this on CD. Alice's adventures after she falls down a rabbit hole chasing the white rabbit. She runs into several other characters, the cheshire cat, the queen of hearts, the tortise, and has quite an imaginative adventure in wonderland.

    An Exercise in Insanity

    This book was insane. The adventures she had and the creatures she met...It all sounded like what a bad acid trip would be like.

    I'm honestly not sure I enjoyed it. This may require a re-read in the future.

    It's hard to review 2 books at once. I loved the first book. But I was not impressed with the second. Like many, I've been spoiled by movies so I was very disappointed to find out the Jabberwocky was just a poem. I was also surprised at how young Alice truly is in the books. All-in-all was an interesting read.

    One of the best loved classics of all time, and with good reason. In this fantasy, Alice goes through a rabbit hole and finds herself in a world of wonders. In spite of the wonderful nature of the place, much is also frightening, which makes this an accurate representation of the perils and pitfalls of childhood (and adulthood, too, it might be said). Charming and engaging, this is one for the ages.

    This is a book that i assumed i had read in full. I knew all about the Mad Hatter and the dormouse and the March Hare. But I hadn't read it before. What a joy it was to read it in full and learn that Alice's cat was not the Cheshire Cat but Dinah and that a caterpillar smoked a hookah. Lovely little pocket edition too.

    In my opinion this is a good picture book. The illustrations really enhance the story and make the reader believe they are in the story.The illustrations really fit the storyline and are filled with great detail! The front cover is a perfect example. On the cover is Alice, the rabbit, mad hater, the cheshire cat, the liquid that makes Alice get big and small, and the caterpillar! Before even reading this story, the reader is curious to see what is going to happen in the story that bring about all these add creatures. Another aspect of the book that i really enjoyed was the language. Throughout this piece of literature, descriptive language is used to help make the reader feel as if they are actually in the story. ""Oh, my ears and whiskers! The Queen will be angry," it said, and hurried off. Alice wanted to see what would happen to it: so she ran and ran, ti; she found herself tumbling down through a rabbit hole after it." When reading this I picture the rabbit with a worried expression on his face and Alice chasing after him. I also see Alice tripping on a tree root and falling into a rabbits hole. Along with the detailed illustrations, this passage makes the reader feel as if they are there watching. The big idea of this story is that dreaming is an amazing and wonderful thing where your imagination can run free.

    There are probably enough reviews in the world about Alice in Wonderland for it not to need another one. There's no plot to speak of, but it's worth reading if only for all the cultural references that you won't really get if you don't - the mad hatter, the Cheshire cat, the caucus race, the knave of hearts, down the rabbit-hole, and all the rest. Like the bible, only not quite so archaic and much more fun.

    Alucinante!
    A pesar de ser un clásico de la literatura encontré este libro un tanto aburrido y por momentos hasta desesperante. Es claro que no se llega a ningún sitio en la historia y que no se conecta con ninguno de los personajes lo cual hace un poco desmotivadora la lectura.

    I had a terrible time trying to read this as a kid. It made no sense to me at all, and I didn't enter into the spirit of the nonsense one bit -- I thought it was all incredibly stupid, and I couldn't understand the fuss at all. This time, trying to read it for a class, I found it more of interest just because I was thinking about the way it's constructed, the audience, the themes which I think do come through the nonsense. (For example, the issue of identity is undeniable, with Alice constantly wondering whether she's the same person as she was the day before.)But I'm afraid I still don't feel particularly enthusiastic. It really does seem to be nonsense mostly for the sake of nonsense, in many ways, and I've never got on with that.

    This book is an enjoyable read for all years from 2 to 99 years old. It is a fantastic and fun read and should be read to children and grandchildren and handed down from generation to generation. Reading it as an adult, the symbolism is very noticeable in the narration. If you haven't read Alice before, you should not hesitate as it should not be missed!

    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is not one of my favorite books. But this edition has really marvelous graphics that improve upon the story. If you like this book, this edition would certainly be worth adding to your collection as it is beautiful.

    Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland is a classic that everyone should read. His play with words, his insane universe with amazing characters, and his symbolism make this a work that can be read over and over. Each time I read it I discover new things, and look at it in a different way. Truly an amazing work by an amazing man.

    Classic story, and one I decided to revisit as an adult. Some of the leaps in logic are just hilariously absurd. The characters are fantastic, and super memorable. I absolutely loved everything related to the Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar.

    For as short as the book is, there did seem to be some filler at times. The whole bit with the Mockturtle annoyed me, and I didn't care for a lot of the poems and stories.

    I listened to this one as an audiobook, and I think it may have diminished some of my enjoyment of it. Sometimes the words are laid out on page in a certain, clever way which was lost on this format. I also believe my comprehension is quite a bit lower when listening. I plan on returning to this in book format and I may update my rating.

    I've done a cursory glance at the criticism of Alice - and it seems that there are layers of symbolism here, a bit of a literary puzzle to dissect. It's at turns clever, caustic, and surreal. None of this means it's any good. Perhaps I'm having the same trouble with this as with Harry Potter - Alice is clearly written for young people, and making sense or having a narrative structure are not high priorities for Carroll.

    Is this experimental fiction? It's full of non sequiturs verging on stream of consciousness. I think it possibly captures the mental states of both the adult on hallucinogens and the seven year old child. There's some heavy-handed symbolism related to coming-of-age. Carroll is a bit obsessed with the bodies of young girls. But it's quite possible that whatever drugs Carroll was taking helped him capture the surrealism and randomness of a child's consciousness.
