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
