Synopsis
Life for poor Alice, has been nothing but mundane. Lesson after lesson feels like a waste of time, and her ordinary life keeps her less than content. Until one day she sees a remarkable white rabbit in a waistcoat and a watch who she hears speak of lateness…and how curious that he can speak at all! After a remarkable fall deep down the rabbit hole, Alice finds herself quite out of her element in Wonderland. Absurd and memorable characters litter this tale with whimsy, tragedy, and bamboozlement. Will Alice find her way home and finally come to her senses or is she stuck in wonderland forever running from the wrath of Queen of Hearts?

Review
The style is of somebody telling a story to you. Very quickly gets imaginative and absurdist. Short easy read, excellent story, but didn’t run into any surprises from film versions I have seen.
