This book was alright. It has its fantasy attributes but Alice was just so dense! She had no respect for the creatures around her, always talking about her cat or some animal that was a major predator to the creatures in this Wonderland.
Alice never seemed to learn her lesson either, or change in some significant way. Usually in a story the main character goes through some sort of transition, which makes the whole thing worth reading/watching/hearing/what have you. Alice didn’t change, she was the same person through the whole thing and just when the creatures descended on her to presumably carry out the “off with her head” order, her sister wakes her up from a dream.
Maybe this is better served as a story for kids to read.

i have never read this book! When i was a kid i used to watch the Disney version of it but i never liked to read when i was a kid. I might not read it yet but i'll be sure to go watch the Tim Burton movie *g* i know i'm scandalous lol
I am definitely going to see the Tim Burton version. Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter? Oh yeah, that's worth it even if I don't care too much for the heroine.
Oh yeah Johnny Depp is definitely reason enought to watch it. I went to see The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus last Weekend and He was soooo good (well and there was Heath Ledger, Colin Farrel and Jude Law...that's a pretty good mix *g*)
i think i heard of that from somewhere but had no idea who all was in it :)
i'd need a drool jar for that movie.
