book twentytwo: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Sunday 18 April 2010 at Emma and James' place.

Our second book/movie combo deal was
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

Ratings (out of 17):
Steve: 10 Found hard to read, out of his comfort zone. Does appreciate the fact that a lot of authors have modelled their writing on his absurdism.
Emma: 9 Didn't enjoy, but glad she read it as a kid because she remembers enjoying it then. Just didn't click this time though.
Wendy: 12 beautifully written, bizarrely imagined. Disjointed, bizarre.
Maree: 10 Coped better once she stopped trying to read it as an adult
Leigha: 11 Sentimental attachment, surprised how much she disliked it as an adult, found it tedious and random.
Ellie: 9 Really does not like Alice, she whinged too much. Liked the characters though.
Tim: 7 Did nothing for me.

Average: 9.7
