This graphic novel did reflect the Disney Tim Burton version of the Alice in Wonderland story well. The illustrations were recognisable but differed enough from the film to be interesting and new. I did, however, find the faces of all the characters to be quite emotionless and unappealing. The panel and dialogue selections included all of the highlights and enough plot points to move the well loved story along but it was too fast a pace for me. I'd have liked a few more details such as the unbirthday song and the painted roses. This version would be good to share with younger children as the darkness has been removed in favour of humour. There's a heavy realiance on Alice's initial belief that she is dreaming which mitigates any jeporady. Unfortunately, it's too child friendly for me.
