“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to." "I don't much care where –" "Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice. “You must be,” said the Cat, or you wouldn’t have come here.”
I started Alice's Adventures in Wonderland years ago in French and I stopped for unknown reasons. I finally got to pick it up by listening to the audiobook. I -for some weird reasons- ended up listening to different narrators and my favourite was a lady who did a great job at using different voices for different characters. I had a great time.
However, I have to say that I enjoyed the first five chapters way better than the rest of the novel. It was probably because I switched to another narrator. Also, this book is not easy to understand. I feel like I need to do some research to be able to fully understand it. I was confused sometimes and I felt like going mad myself.
Despite all this, this book was enjoyable. I had fun listening to it and I would like to reread it for a full comprehension of its content.
From the world building to the characters to the queer conversations, everything was amusing.

"I could tell you my adventures—beginning from this morning," said Alice a little timidly; "but it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."

Listened as an audiobook.
An enchanting story in a fantastical world. Not sure if children will enjoy it but maybe fun to read with school-age children?

I'd never read this, because I knew I wouldn't like it. "There's no sense in nonsense." But it kept coming up, and I wanted to read something with Nolan that I hadn't read three times already.
And he ended up loving it. Crazy. So that bumped it to 3 stars for me. Funny. we have "It's always tea time" framed in our kitchen...but now it has a much different connotation!

The illustrations in this edition were amazing.
I didn't really like this as much as I wanted to, but I still enjoyed it.
My biggest issue was trying to get past the writing style, because I just didn't click with it. I was so sad that I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would.
