nataliemortensen's review against another edition
5.0
pese a ser una edición relativamente cara, realmente vale la pena.
primero de todo, tenemos unas maravillosas e originales ilustraciones de benjamin lacombe que nos acompañan durante toda la historia, además de detalles como fotos plegables.
además del gran cuidado estético que tiene, se puede ver el esfuerzo que ha habido detrás de este libro, pues encontramos un estudio sobre la relación entre carroll y la alicia real. toda esta información también va acompañada a través de sus cartas y de mapas cronológicos.
un hecho muy interesante también es el apartado de "notas", en el que se encuentra otro estudio sobre las traducciones del inglés al español y cómo se han hecho, pues carroll en el libro usaba muchos juegos de palabras. de esta manera, se nos muestra varias traducciones originales y cómo decidieron traducirlo a nuestro idioma.
finalmente encontramos biografías, de carrol y otras personas de importancia para la obra, como traductores. estas cuentan con sus bibliografías correspondientes.
por eso mismo, recomiendo sin duda esta edición para cualquier fanático del libro o de la película de tim burton.

Muito giro, super maluco, uma agradável leitura light para desvairar e sentir que não percebi nada, mas não faz mal. Boas historinhas.

It was a very interesting read but it was very hard for me to keep up with the story and characters

I loved this book. I’ve watched the Disney animated movie first and it’s in my favourite movies of all time list so there was no doubt I wouldn’t enjoy the book. It’s such a happy, whimsical book, it makes you almost reminisce about your childhood and god I just want to be a kid again and pretend to be voyagers exploring uncharted waters

Leaning a bit more to three stars, so I might boost it later on. This was enjoyable, but not really up my alley. I don't hate it, but I don't like it that much either. I've definitely read retelling or reimaginations that I've liked more. It's defiantly not bad, but it's just not my favourite. The Goodreads standards for 2 stars "It's okay" is how I feel about this.
I just thought there would be a bit more to this. And I've probably already read it too as I was having a lot of deja vu, but also thinking "this can't be it, there's more right?" and there wasn't. It's quite short.
I'm also not a fan of the story structure either. I prefer plot-based things and am not a fan of episodic, seemingly unrelated chapters. However, this is not the worse example of this style that I've read. There's a lot more cohesion and continuity to it.

This book is so weird and wacky for something that was published at this time! It was an interesting read, but I prefer the more current takings on the book.

ganz am Anfang bei 'Themes of the book' steht: "That is to say, that they have searched for a hidden meaning, agenda or allegory that Dodgson wished to express through his work. It seems more likely though that it is what it is - literary nonsense."
