Alice in Wonderland is one of those
stories that everyone is familiar with in some way. These two books could
be described as being literary nonsense - and it's just about the most perfect
description ever. Do not go into Alice hoping to find some
sense or explanation. There is none. It's a light story about a little girl's
limitless imagination and how this brings EVERYTHING into the realm of
possibility. You just need to go along for the ride and prepare to be amused. This
is clearly a childrens' classic. Perhaps adding an element of fear would have
enhanced the story, but it is what it is. Alice is cute, though she's such a
weird, WEIRD child. The things she imagines, all the times she talks to herself
. . . the reader may be torn between being worried about her and just being
amused. But your amusement will quickly win out.
Alice is pure entertainment. It is continuous word play, and you’ll
find yourself chuckling on every other page. They really get into some
ridiculous phrases, words with double meanings, and the dialogue is just
hilarious. It's still nonsense, but it pokes fun at our language, and you will
appreciate the wit. There are elements of satire that are actually extremely
clever. It may be nonsense, but it's entertaining and hilarious.
