"Alice In Wonderland" Book Review

It was cute.

I'll start with that.

A little bit scatter-brained, maybe, but cute in it's own classic way.

Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, follows the dream of little Alice. Wherein, she chases a mysterious white rabbit down its hole, has tea with a mad hatter and a March hare, learns bits of wisdom from the Cheshire Cat, hears the sad tale of the mock-turtle, and meets the queen of hearts.

It was a very quick read, it only took me a bit over an hour.

Although definitely geared towards younger children, it was assigned to me to read it for school, so what can I say?

It was enjoyable, the fact that it was short greatly pleased me, as I had been reading some rather heavy books.

The lighting was perfect for pictures when I finished it.

    I just read 'Alice' for the first time a few months ago. It was definitely more 'childish' then what I normally read, but hey, it's a classic. At first it didn't make much sense...until I got to the end and found out that it was all a dream. Then it made perfect sense!! I know all about crazy dreams!! I also read 'Through the Looking-Glass'.

      I definitely want to read "Through the Looking-glass," but it's not high on my TBR pile, and we don't own it. :/

      Yeah, there are many books like that, only in some of them, they don't explain anything *cough cough*Fahrenheit 451" *cough*.

      I did, last school year, and the one before that! But due to our schedule, we were unable to do it this year. How did you know?

      Well first you recognized my Henle book, and Alice in Wonderland is a required CC book in Challenge II, so I though that's why you were reading it:)

Bang goes that theory. -_- Night before last, the heater ran all night, and I had the brilliant idea to accidentally sleep a large portion of the night with my mouth open. Fast-forward to 7:30 yesterday morning. I woke up with a sore throat. Determined to not let it get me down, I continued to function like normal, despite the fact that all I really wanted to do was ignore my alarm clock and pull the blankets back over my head. I marched downstairs and promptly brewed myself a mug-full of tea. Most the the day, I was able to act like nothing was out of the ordinary- I was even able to finish my science for the rest of the year! (*throws confetti*) After dinner though, I started getting really really tired. When Mom read us a story in the living room, I almost fell asleep. After she finished, I went back up to my room. If it hadn't been only 8ish I would have gone to sleep immediately, but it was, so instead, I crawled into bed with a book. I little while later, little si
