Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

When I was little and used to visit the video rental shop with my dad I always used to pick Alice in Wonderland. I'm not sure why but I just loved it. I've never read the book though and when I watched the Tim Burton film a lot of people said that it made much more sense than the Disney version.

As this was my June book I can't really remember much about the story but I do agree that it is much darker than Disney made it. I remember being a bit baffled throughout and losing track of the story. It's very well written but I guess I just don't relate to the random nature of it, a worm smoking a pipe and telling Alice to eat a mushroom was just bonkers.

I fully intended to read Through the Looking-Glass afterwards but I was kind of relieved to finish Alice. I know a lot of people list this as their favourite book and it did have its moments but I just don't get it, sorry.

Verdict 2/5

In June I...

(Kindle, coffee, chocolate, perfect!)

In June I read:  Alice in Wonderland and got stupidly into Game of Thrones. I've decided I'm going to read the first book and then watch the first season. I'm usually not one to hop onto bandwagons - I will never want to read fifty shades or twilight - but even the bloggers and people I follow on Twitter are joining the party late and raving. I have to say the book has me gripped so far. I've had to put it down for now though so I can read this months classic Of Mice and Men. I chose it purely because it's a short though :)

In June I watched: Back to the Future II and Singin' in the Rain. I've been far too preoccupied with films coming out on DVD and in the cinema to watch classics, slap on the wrist for me! If you didn't manage to go this weekend you need to go and see Despicable Me 2. I saw it last week and laughed harder than I have in ages. I want a minion!

In June I blogged: Nothing! So sorry, life has kind of got in the way but I hope to be updated soon and I should have no excuse in the Summer.
