This book added nothing to me on any level (characters, plot, world)
I really wanted to read this book because I have always loved the movies, and I do enjoy myself some unhinged storytelling, but this wasn't really a story. It felt more like a bunch of weird unrelated short stories. It doesn't follow a story or any goal or moral or anything. That makes it feel like nothing really happens.
It's also that the characters involved are uninteresting and unlikeable. Alice herself is weird and doesn't really interact with the world in a meaningful way, she doesn't try to understand it or learn from it, she is also just a nice person to be honest. I thought it would be fun but it got me in a giant reading slump.
an iconic masterpiece consider if it had never been written how much poorer we would all be
