Synopsis: After a tumble down the rabbit hole, Alice finds herself far away from home in the absurd world of Wonderland. As mind-bending as it is delightful, Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel is pure magic for young and old alike.

Review: For the most part this was a cute tale. The world building was fantastic and whimsical. The characters complex and well developed. The book is full of great writing and I can see why a lot of people love this story and how it’s maintained its popularity year after year.

However, I can’t read this book without thinking of Lewis Carroll’s inspiration for the book and it creeps me out to no end. Sometimes people are able to put that behind them when they read books by controversial authors, but I couldn’t for this read and it made reading this book hard.

Verdict: Ehhh not my fave.
