But, on a whole, this book is very silly and nonsensical and I am... not a fan. There's no actual point to the story, aside from "will Alice ever get to be a normal size again?" and it turns out to all be a dream, so even that isn't an actual point. And I just don't enjoy pointless stories.

If This was a Movie, I Would Rate It: G. Nothing unacceptable for kids here.
This is the 19th book I've read and reviewed for my third Classics Club list.
I’ve only read it once. I don’t like the part with the pig. I prefer Through the Looking Glass, which I’ve read several times. And I’ve always loved the animated Disney movie.
ReplyDeletePhyl, yeah, I prefer Through the Looking Glass too -- or I did when I read them in my tweens 30 years ago :-D The movie is loads of fun, though!
DeleteI'm not sure if I've read all of it yet or not. I prefer books that make sense too.
ReplyDeleteSkye, yeah, I just like storylines that make sense sooo much better than nonsense-for-the-sake-of-nonsense.
DeleteI'm with Skye, not sure if I read it or not. Maybe because it was so nonsensical it didn't feel like I was reading because I wasn't comprehending? I know I looked in it and the sequel, but how much I read I don't know it was like over 15 years ago. I want to read both and then watch the Disney movie at some point because I have very little memory. It's a classic after all, but if I hate it I'd quite which is what I wonder if I did? I feel like mom assigned me to read it which wouldn't have allowed for that possibility.
ReplyDeleteLivia, I just feel like... this is not one of those must-read classics, lol. It's a fast read, though, I'll say that for it.
