'You mean you can't take less,' said the Hatter: 'it's very easy to take more than nothing.'

'Nobody asked your opinion,' said Alice.

can't believe Alice said the very first "but did I ask???"

I really want to write an essay about how the fact that there isn't an apparent theme for Alice's Adventures is what makes it so easy to apply a theme to it - and why so many people think there are different themes to it. Everyone applies their own experiences to Alice's adventures, whether it's the loss of innocence, the ridiculosity of high life, how politics are backwards, so on so forth. Until then... stan Alice

This is my favorite book EVER! Love the stories, love the nonsense, the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter..the tea party scene...the rhymes and the little children songs turned to Lewis Carroll's thinking way. AWE-SOME!! It's my fave ever!

Really! Own them all!!!

I really enjoyed it but I had to focus on every word because sometimes it made no sense. It was great to finally read the book after having seen the Disney adaptation when I was younger.
