I didn't like the style of writing and storytelling. Although I can see that it is a very good story and it unfolds quite quickly. The pace of writing was rather slow. The world in which the story took place was very well done and it wasn't chaotic. Overall, I didn't like the story very well and I didn't read well at all.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll was pretty disappointing to me. Despite a few good oneliners and life lessons, this book was just way too trippy for me and it had very few likeable characters. Despite the events happening in actual Wonderland, there are way more wonderful stories for children out there in the world. It might just be a matter of taste, but this one’s not for me. It’s nothing like, for instance, Peter Pan, which is a classic I loved to read. ⭐️⭐️ from me, since I only pushed through because I listened to the audio version while doing chores. 🧼🧽🪣
