Unpopular Opinion

This took me a long time to get through...I found it sometimes tedious to be quite honest. Sorry. I guess I just don't love the nonsensical fun of this as much as everyone else seems to love it.

I enjoyed the pictures and I really liked this edition and I enjoyed it well enough, but as I said, I just don't love it as much as a lot of others do.

Nikki "The Crazie Betty" V. At least you're honest Val. You're not afraid to say you don't like a classic, which most people seem to be willing to say they love the classics, just because they think they're supposed to. I, personally, suffer the wrath of not liking Jane Austen. At. All.


Kat valentine ( Katsbookcornerreads) Not into the alice in wonderland adventures!


message 4: by Nicola (new)

Nicola I hate Alice in Wonderland, it frightened the living daylights out of me as a kid and as an adult I’m still very much fuck that shite, no thank you very much. But I hope many continue to love this classic, yes.

Iris I DNF'd Alice in Wonderland, but I enjoy some of the adaptations, such as the one by C.M Stunich. Sorry, you didn't like this one. :)

Sorry you didn't love it either, Iris :)


message 9: by Delilah (new)

Delilah Frost I read this book and Through the Looking Glass years ago. I remember being intrigued and ending the book with a "huh" feeling. I always wondered if I'd have enjoyed it more strung out on acid as that seemed to be a general theme I found in looking the book up.

Lol


novelteathoughts I think you have to be a kid to enjoy it 100% lol cause as an adult you're like WTF haha


Samantha Licheni Agreed, took me several days when it normally would have taken a couple of hours. Didn't get into it at all


Grace H Nonsensical is the exact word that came to my mind after reading Alice in Wonderland.


Lydia (on hiatus) Completely understandable! I think that it's a book that you have to learn to love and have to go into reading it with a mindset that it will make no sense at all:)
