There have been so many renditions of this book in pop culture. Including many stories about my favourite character, The Mad Hatter (some say he might not actually be mad).

One of my favourite books of all time. I still have the e-book saved on my phone and I read it from time to time. It is an amazing work of fiction

I read it in my late teens, and I didn't exactly like it. It was a good read yes, but to me it wasn't remarkable. I leave that quality to books by Beverly Clearly.

One thing I noticed about Children books is that they always hide a deeper meaning, and the fact that we still read them nowadays is a sign that they are ageless and they still have to teach us some lesson. Alice's adventures in Wonderland is a masterpiece of wittiness, irony and imagination. I love the fact that we can see hints of XIX society as Lewis Carroll knew it and how he uses a little girl's perspective to show how things really were and to criticise a society that didn't allow it. I love Alice and how she finds herself in a world so different from the one she knows and she is still able to travel through it and learn many lessons that she couldn't learn in her reality.

I love how Lewis Carroll uses a lot of logical situations in his story. For me, that makes the book very original and creative. But sometimes I think people don't try to understand that logic and see it as a world of inconsistencies. In any case, that book has always been to the liking of children and adults. Strangely, when I talk about classic books, I hardly remember Alice.

Alice in Wonderland is one of the first stories I fell in love with as a child. I can't remember how many times I read it when I was younger. My husband knew that I loved it so much that he got me a vintage-style copy with all of the original images. I think that Lewis Carroll is an incredible author, he knows how to tell a good story. He creates truly memorable characters. I actually have the complete works of Lewis Carroll and all of his stories and poems are so well written. I have shared his stories with my children and hope to share them with future grandchildren.

I loved reading this book to my cousin. She was obsessed with it. For years she would always dress up as Wonderland characters for Halloween.

One of the best classics I have read. I just saw the movie and it gave me nostalgia. I can't wait to read this now I'm an adult and gift it to my kids.

This book brought back memories for me. It reminded me of my childhood memories as well as my childhood dreams. I'd like to give this book to my kids so they can read it as well.

I can remember reading Alice in Wonderland when I was a young child. I recently found a old version of the book and read it as an adult. As an adult I saw the story in the eyes of a adult and found myself in the same magical place as I had been when I was a child reading it.

Alice in Wonderland is one of the great classics! It's a simple yet extremely delicate and intricate book that everyone should read. As a chil it's an amazing fantasy book but it developes a more deeper storyline and dept when it's an adult reading it.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was a famous book by English Writer Lewis Carroll. I thought it was written for kids or teens, but certainly enjoyed reading it myself also. The language was quite fun and interesting and very English I feel.
