Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Abridged) Audiobook

" Not what I was expecting for some reason. Found it annoying. "

" Really good book. Brought tears to my eyes in several places. "

" Although I read this book a long time ago, I remember really loving it... will want to re-read soon. "

" Much better than I thought it would be. Some very sad parts, but some really funny parts too, all about living and growing up the South. "

" It was very good but I didn't feel like it was as good as everyone said so. I strongly disliked Alice as a character but at the same time she helped the story to develop. "

" it could took me away for a while, while i was between it;s pages to my childhood, when everything was fresh as a bright blue sky "

" Fun read, I was in a southern book mood and read about 3 in a row. "

" What Beautiful Nonsense! I kept changing so much did not know whether I was coming or going. But oh I laughed o I laughed. I learned where so may English euphemisms come from. "

" What a whimsical fantastical book!! Why did I wait so long to read it? Many images and words hit home with me and I loved reading it. Lewis Carroll was a genius! "

" Growing up and out of the south without ever leaving it. Mothers will love the tribute. "

" This was a really fun book. I love how the author created this zany world that Alice found herself in. "

" What can be said about this book ... This is amazing, crazy and you never know what awaits you at the next corner ... inspiration to many filmmakers, series, and other stories as well ... :) "

" Read this for book club a few years back. Lived in Anniston at the time and almost perhaps felt a bit too close to it, since Bragg was the "local boy" and had started at the newspaper where I was working. There's no doubt that Bragg is a fine writer and captures place and time very effectively. For those who have never been to the area, his writing brings alive the place. Just always fear a little bit about the Southern writing, poor background, had-a-daddy-who-was-a-drunk memoir -- how many books does it take on this topic? But it's well done. "

" A great story my mother read to me as a child <3 And yet to this day I adore this imagination "

" Got to hear Rick Bragg speak....throughly enjoyed this memoir of his journey from poverty to success. "

" It's not often that you get a beautifully written book in the style of the great authors of days long gone. "

" A difficult book to read, due to subject matter, but engaging and very well-written. "

" very erratic not easily read, darker than you may think "

" This genre of literature didn't really appeal to me at first, but the book grew on me. The illustrations are also amazing. "

" Best thing I've read in a long time--I really enjoyed it, even though I nearly cried every five pages or so. "

" Leave it to Rick Bragg to suffuse an arguably tragic (albeit inspiring) story of the poor white South with an almost nostalgic quality. His matter-of-fact writing keeps the story from becoming depressing. "

" I enjoy Bragg's journalistic style in this touching memoir. The only thing missing is my connection to life in the South. "

" Just finished this for the 2nd time. Love this book! "

" Incredible writing style. A must read. "

" A very droll story. Nothing happens the way one might expect. I find myself comparing Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to the absurdist play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard. "

" Never read the non-abridged version as a kid. A more fun read than I expected... "

" Classic. Should be on everyone's Read list. "

" I heard about alice a lot, but not sure about the story. I could read deeper and understand it better. "

" "How is a raven like a writting desk?" "

" A beautiful story, couldn't put it down as I was captivated by Alice's unique adventures in Wonderland. "

" Since I am from the deep south this work hit home. It is very well written and a breath of fresh air. "

" what a curious litttle book. "

" This is a memoir, a story of tragedy and triumph and family; it tells how a man who comes from abject poverty gets to travel the world at the behest of the New York Times to tell other people's stories, difficult stories. This man can turn a phrase. "

" Love Rick Bragg. His writing so down to earth. "

" Interesting stories by a Southern journalist who wrote for the New York Times. Bragg weaves his personal narrative in and around the news stories that he covered. The great love that he has for his mother shines above throughout the book. "

" Excellent memoir...great blend of his own childhood as well as writings of his work as a journalist. Parts were very emotional, difficult to read. I would read more by this author. "

" I read this book in grad school, after an excerpt was shared in a writing class I took. I thought the writing was amazing. The wording Bragg uses just flows like honey. An amazing story of survival and success despite all odds. "

" Among my most favorite books ever. Beautiful, honest, read-aloud writing. "

" Quite an interesting book... Very lovable, but quite queer and confusing at times. I had a hard time understanding it as a child, and even now it's questionable. A good book though! "

" I love the way Rick Bragg tells a story. He makes the past come alive again as he gives a personal recounting of his life. It will bring back one's own memories of what it was like to live in the south growing up. "

" Fantastic witting, heartfelt story. Best autobiographical account I've read in a while. "

" Really good read about the south - insightful "

" This is a book about Southern poverty. It's a good read if you're in the mood for it. "

" This memoir is a very nice read. With a Southern flavor and a sense of humor, Bragg spins an interesting yarn of his life. "

" I only read it for a book report, and it was okay.... "

" ...don't hurt my teeth. "

" Good book, although some of our club members thought it was depressing. I found it hopeful and inspirational. Makes me want to read more of his NY Times articles. October book club selection. "

" Pretty sure I would have appreciated this more if I'd been on opiates. "

" What a wonderful, crazy and imaginative book! I only ever watched the movie as a child. what a shame. "

" The story was simple. :) "

" Odd. Kinda has it own language not practical for struggling readers since its so strange causing it to be hard to follow. GT kids would probably totally dig it "

" This is one of my all-time favorite books. It is creative, adventurous and oh-so magical. As a child I wished I could be Alice, going off and getting myself in all sorts of trouble. "

" This book is some crazy stuff. I'll take a movie version over the book any day. "

" Still my very favorite book of all time! The only book I still read several times a year. Thank you Mr. Carroll! "

" This book is full of weird and nonesense poems. The book isn't all trippy and mushroomy as what I expected maybe because I had big expectations from it. After all, it is a children's book. "

" I really enjoyed it but I had to focus on every word because sometimes it made no sense. It was great to finally read the book after having seen the Disney adaptation when I was younger. "

" Like so many things, the book "

" This is my favorite book of all time. "

" ..solo alla ingenua lettura di un fanciullo potrebbe apparire un'allegra fiaba per bambini..Labirintico, contorto, romanzo psicologico. "

" This is more than a wonderful, heartfelt childhood story. Lewis Carroll is an expert on the strange and misfit, a master of literary pun. Meant for both younger audiences and adults. "

" I really enjoyed reading these books, and seeing where the movies came from originally. I would recommend this to anyone really, especially if you like the movies or classic books. "

" I loved these books when I was a kid. I should read them again; there is muchness in those imaginings. "

" A whole lot of crack was smoked for this one. "
