 In order to understand life and remain sane March 20, 2010

The Secret Diary of Alice in Wonderland, Age 42 and Three-Quarters
There is an old saying:
"In order to understand life and remain sane, you must read Alice in Wonderland at least once every year."
Truth in a nut shell. The answers to all your questions are contained in Alice.
Wisdom and Adventure in a Child's Book March 30, 2010

Well, where do we start? First of all this classic is beautifully presented here. Good paper, good print always add to the pleasure of reading. This volume could well become a beloved family heirloom passed down to generations not yet born.
This book like many classics should be read several times in our life time. As a child for the wonder and adventure of it all. Later, for insight into human nature including our own. I suggest we read Alice every 5 years, not that I ever did, but I wish I had.
As we age, or mature if we are lucky, we glean important insights we might have missed as children. Sometimes by living, sometimes by reading. As I recently read this book, I found myself shaking my head and snorting, "Boy, isn't that true." Insights into human nature and the lives we have led burst forth.
Bottom line: A good read whatever your age.

I was great to relive a childhood book that just shows how a childs imagination should be. A classic that everyone should read.

I have never found a book that makes me laugh at the stupidity of a character but makes me overjoys me in its descriptive world. The real world ceased to exist while I was reading. It puzzled me at parts, but that added to the magic of the book. Amazing book.
Great afternoon read July 9, 2010
A great, truly timeless story about Alice and the interesting characters she meets on her journey through Wonderland. I loved both films, and now I love the book. Read it in two sittings on my new Kindle. The best part about it is that it's free!
