A classic book turned into a Disney movie. Alice's Adventure in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, was a very interesting book. Most would think that it would be just like the Disney movie but in fact it is very different. The reader first starts off with Alice following a white rabbit down a hole which she thinks would never end. Then the reader reads that Alice is in a hall with a key trying to open all the doors but cant and realizes that the door she needs to open is very tiny. Alice sees a table with something on it that says "eat me". So Alice eats it and becomes very small but then realizes she forgot the key. She grows back to normal and gets the key and goes through the door. Alice then is outside house and sees the white rabbit and follows it and is given a child to hold which turns out to be a pig. Alice sees the rabbit again and follows it and on the way meets a cat and Alice asks which way should she go and the cat gives her the choices. So Alice starts to walk and finds two creatures sitting at a table having tea and joins them. Later Alice is at the palace and the queen is yelling to have everyone's head removed and invites Alice to play croquet with her. Alice starts to play and realizes it's not the normal game. Later on Alice goes to the trial and tries to help but keeps getting bigger and last the reader reads is Alice waking up and telling her sister about a dream she has just had. I really enjoyed the book. I thought it wasn't going to be that great but it was. I enjoyed all the characters Alice meet and all the weird situations Alice found herself in. My favorite part of the book was when Alice played croquet with the queen and had a flamingo as the stick. I would recommend this book to anyone above the age of 14 because of the content of the book. Also because I'm not quite sure they would understand fully what the book was about. They might also be confused because it's very different from the movie.
