| | Customer Reviews: Take drugs; read book (12 August 2010)I think you either have to be really young or on lots of drugs to enjoy this book. It made my head hurt. I prefer things to make sense, I guess. Into another World (24 July 2010)The story of Alice in Wonderland 1 and 2 is a well thought story that brings you to a place of "nonsense". The way Lewis Carrol wrote it has to do a lot about politics and the way of reality. Alice always thinks what's the point of a book that shows nothing interesting whatsoever? Well later on she discovers that there are a few reasons why s some things are not nonsense. These are some of the nonesense things; Drinks make you shrink, cakes make you grow, cats can dissapear, and flowers can sing. Some of the things Alice does can be thought as lessons, the sentence "Curiosity killed that cat" is used in other ways in the story, starting with chasing a rabbit down a tunnle. This is a fascinating story that I would recommend to anyone, even people that don't like to read; I'm one of those people. This is a well written story that anyone can read. 5 STARS! Excellent edition of a known classic! (20 July 2010)Cohen's introduction provided interesting insight into the life of Charles Dodgeson and the history that surrounds the creation of these 2 books. I love that all the original artwork is contained in this affordable little paperback as well. A must-have for every personal library. Enourmously Influential (19 July 2010)Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass' are part of our culture. Who isn't familiar with the Mad Hatter, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, or "Off with his head!". ' Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland starts out a little slow but gets better as it goes on. "Through the Looking Glass' is more consistent and I found it to be more enjoyable. I'm not sure how well children would enjoy it today, but it is well worth reading to understand the cultural references. Kindle Edition "just OK" (16 July 2010)The books are outstanding classics and I have no complaints about them. The Kindle formatting leaves a bit to be desired. A functioning Contents page would be fantastic, especially if you want to skip ahead to the second book without having to manually flip through the pages. But for $.99, I guess I shouldn't complain much. | |
