Alice in Wonderland

I read Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll, it is a favorite among many. It is also known as a movie produced by Disney. However the movie and the book have distinct differences in some of the scenes. I have not read any other books by Lewis Caroll, but some of his other writings include; Through the Looking Glass and The Complete Stories and Poems

Alice in Wonderland is about a girl who falls through a rabbit hole when she is following a white rabbit and her curiosity gets the best of her. There in this "strange" land she runs into many troubles and unfamiliar faces. From having tea with the Mad Hatter and The Hare to getting stuck in the White Rabbits house and playing croquet with the Queen, this is something Alice will never forget. 


After awhile however she grows quite tired of being in Wonderland and is eager to find a way home. As the book is drawing to a conclusion Alice is found in a position where she may die and never be sent home again. Later on we find out that It was all a dream when Alice actually becomes awake. Many people say there are deeper messages in the story that can be complicated to comprehend. Personally I enjoyed the story and I also liked the writing style of the author. My favorite part about the book is that too read it you really have to use your imagination. I would recommend this book, because if you've seen the movie and then read this there are many differences from the movie. Overall it was a good read.
