Alice In Wonderland (Abridged) Audiobook

" If you read the book with no prior knowledge about the author or his main character, Alice,then it's a fun, crazy, fantastical childrens book. Then you learn about about the double meanings of the words and poems, the politics of the characters' nature, not to mention Lewis Carrol's secret "relationship" with the real Alice who was also his neice. After all that it puts a new meaning on the book and you don't really know what to think. Learn this all in Literature and the Arts class by the way! "

" Through the Looking glass is the second story to Alice's adventure in wonderland. When she returns things are quite different. The first book is based on a deck of cards and this one is based on a chessboard. The author did do a pretty good job providing details. I did feel that he possibly provided a little more than necessary due to the fact the reader should have read the first book. Overall I feel children should read this book if they read the first one. I would also recommend Tim Burton's film Alice in Wonderland. He did a pretty good adaptation of both the books. "

" Much like the first book, a whole lot of "utter nonsense" :) "

" I read this with my 4 year old daughter. She liked it. Parts of it were fun, and other parts were a bit monotonous to me. I'm looking forward to reading Alice In Wonderland, and comparing it to this, as I've never read the first one. "

" An interesting look into the mind of a child. Maybe. If you read Alice in Wonderland, you need to read this one as well. Kindle version is missing the poems, and they are the best part. Get the actual book. "

" Reread from 2006. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Very amusing "

" Like Wizard of Oz books, too random to hold my interest. "

" In which many parodies are represented as fantastic scenarios. "

" It it strange but a really good book to read "

" I enjoyed Through The Looking-Glass way more. The book is very wacky and hilarious and had many hidden true meanings which I enjoyed. Very random setiments, but worth reading. I also loved the poems in the story. "

" More wonderful random fantasy. I particularly like the Walrus and the Carpenter. Lots of fun! "

" If I were a more discerning reader, I would love to try to figure out what the imagery and language mean. As it was, I imagined it to be an LSD dream. "

" Not as good as Wonderland. So whose dream was it? "

" This might be my favorite book ever "

" "Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas--only I don't exactly know what they are!" --Alice "

" Not near as good as the first. "

" Ok.. kinda tired of reading about Alice by now.. plus I don't know how to play chess and the whole book was pretty much a huge chess game.. :/ "

" Not nearly as good as Alice In Wonderland, but good all the same. "

" I had a leatherbound copy of the handed down to me from my mother. "

" This story had more of a plot than Adventures in Wonderland, and I found the characters more interesting... specifically Humpty Dumpty and the Knight (who is fashioned after the author). "

" I read this book to Taylor and Scott when they were younger. We loved every minute. "

" Love it. LOVE IT. LOVVVVEE ITTT! What more can I say? "

" This is the sequel to Alice in Wonderland. It was fun, imaginative, bizarre, and creative. I read it to my girls and we enjoyed it. "

" Even weirder than the first book - although this seemed impossible. But nice little story for and about kids and there way of looking onto life. "

" Loved this one! Another childhood fave. "

" I thought that it was one of the best books I've ever read! Amazing book! "

" Again a book that would be better for me specifically when I was younger. See the Jabberwocky and the Walrus and the Carpenter was great and the adventures of Alice across the chessboard of the Looking-Glass world was entertaining but did not hold my interest as much as I had hoped. "

" very wonderful with tennial's engravings. "

" I didn't like this as well as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, although it does contain some of the more famous (and awesome) poems that Carroll wrote, like The Jabberwocky and that one about the Walrus. It was just as weird as book 1, but not as funny. "

" Throughly enjoyable. This was a great book to read while I was moving. It creates a wonderful, curious, delightful world. I really loved it! "

" just a really odd book...good, not great. Grades 9+ "

" It was a good book, but there where 2 chapter that had no point. "

" Not the most memorable book, just one of those that one should read in order to expand the imagination. Interesting writing style. Not much to be said about it really. "

" Very good for a kids book, but now that I am rereading it as an older person, I find that it has no significant plot structure. Still, it was a great book. "

" It was fascinating. The adventure, the poems, and the made-up words! "

" I've read "Alice" five or six times. It is my favorite book. "

" First in a long line of classics I should have read ages ago! Delightful and witty, this was far more enjoyable than I expected. The puns were fantastic. "

" Loved this book soooo much - its so random!! My only regret is reading it on my iphone and therefore not getting illustrations I would say if you are going to read this make sure there are pictures go along with!! "

" I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I would think twice about reading it with or to smaller children due to the queen's actions and comments. I could see how that would scare little ones. "

" It takes some perseverance to get through this, and really I checked out after the mock turtle. I don't really understand this book, the ending was abrupt and I'm just glad for disney's version. "

" Reading this on my Kindle - love Lewis Carroll's way with words - unfortuneately, missing the illustrations!!! "

" My only gripe was the way the book was written, but that's a given considering the time it was first conceived.A wonderful tale nonetheless (or series of tales, for that matter). "

" More than the actual plot of the story, I enjoyed watching the though process of the author unravel into such odd charters and scenarios. The dialogue was very entertaining, it made you think about the words in a different way as well. "
