About this audiobook
There, on top of the mushroom, was a large caterpillar, smoking a pipe. After a while the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth and said to Alice in a slow, sleepy voice, 'Who are you?' What strange things happen when Alice falls down the rabbit-hole and into Wonderland! She has conversations with the Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, goes to the Mad Hatter's tea party, plays croquet with the King and Queen of Hearts ...

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This 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.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5At 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.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A wonderful story. This is my sisters favorite like OZ is mine.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There 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.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Alice 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.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I 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.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5An 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. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This 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!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lewis 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.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Alice'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.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Silly but interesting.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Yes, 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.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5"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.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It'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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I won't even try to write a review. Just to say not sure why I haven't read this for at least fifteen years.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My cosmic bible - One of the greatest children's stories ever written . As Alice says "What is the use of a book without pictures or conversations?" Pure literary magic.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Listened 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One 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.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Classic 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. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I'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. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/52023 reread:
It's been years since I last read this book - I had forgotten how short it is! While my memory of Alice's adventures was clear, I had forgotten her sister entirely. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Together with Through the Looking Glass, I've read Lewis Carroll many times. The early illustrations, by Tenniel, are often ugly, but still give a better feel to the story than the Disney film. The Jabberwocky remains a favorite poem, demonstrating the difference between the feel of a poem and its sense. There are many levels in this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An abridged but marvelous re-telling of this story. It shows a smart girl in a green pinafore with an apron who strives to make sense of an uncertain world. She is courageous and undaunted. And the illustrations are soft and sweet, a contrast to the satire and confusing themes in the original.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good as always!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was fun and bizarre and I'm happy I read it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This one inexplicably remains a favorite. Bizarre (literally). And somehow timeless.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have nothing new or profound to say about Alice's adventures. But the Charles van Sandwyk illustrations in the Folio Society edition are brilliant. He has not so much re-imagined the characters we know so well from the vintage Tenniel illustrations, as simply re-drawn them in his own style, which I love.
