Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 English children's novel by Lewis Carroll. A young girl named Alice falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures. It is seen as an example of the literary nonsense genre.
One of the best-known works of Victorian literature, its narrative, structure, characters and imagery have had huge influence on popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.

Short Review: I am trying to read more old books. So I am working through a bunch of books that Audible.com was giving away as a promotion for their immersive reading/whispersync. Alice in Wonderland is short. Everyone already knows the story line. But I have read enough classics to know that the commonly understood story line is often wrong. But here is it is mostly true. The problem is Alice. She is a brat. And the book really does read like a drug trip. It is a mess as a narrative. It is only 2.5 hours long and I still almost didn't finish it.
My slightly longer review is on my blog at http://bookwi.se/alice/
[Listened to the audiobook narrated by Stacey Arthur.]
the hold that the 1991 live action Alice In Wonderland held on me is the main reason I read this book
