Default Alice's Adventure in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol
I bought this book (the original, not the crappy picture book) with 'Through the Looking Glass' also in it. I can't read it right now because I'm hooked on Dracula but I would really like to know how you liked it and if it was a good read. I will still read it because I wanted to read it before Tim Burton's movie comes out.

Your thoughts? (please be careful of spoilers)

I borrowed the book from a friend a little while ago (also with Through the Looking Glass). I also wanted to read it before the movie came out, but, I still haven't gotten around to it yet.

I read them both a few years ago. They were alright, nothing spectacular.

Then again, it has been a few years.

They're worth reading, though I remember almost nothing about them.

And this is true even without the movie, try to get around to them eventually regardless.

I love the books, though I prefer the first book. The books are intriguing and strange. I have a copy with letters from Carrol, notes and more, and it's quite interesting to read.

Carrol was kind of a screwed up guy lol. I read this stuff online about the Alice he knew irl, and there was all this speculation on whether he was on drugs or if he was into pedophilia.

I don't honestly care, the books are good and that doesn't change.

To be honest, I just got the book and I haven't read it because of things but I'll take it with me to college and I'll reading it and I'll see how it goes. XD

Finished it a few months ago.
I was hooked from the first sentence. I personally like older books, but most people don't so you might not like the way it's written. It's a classic though, you can't say you hate it.
Alice's Adventures is 1000 times better than Through the Looking Glass. Hopefully this movie will be better than the cartoon and other versions, haha. :)

Well, I'm nearly finished Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and so far I love it but I've seen it all already. And she's already falling down the rabbit whole within the first half a page. It tends to go very quickly but I don't really mind, gotten used to it.

I had no idea that it was so small, I could sit down and read it in under 2 hours IF I had the time at the moment.
