I didn't read this book as a child. Though I'm not really sure if I haven't read it because I might have had some Disney version of the story, it probably wasn't the original version of the book though. Now, on the one hand, I am glad that I finally read this book, and on the other hand, I think I have read it too late. I would have liked it much better when I was a kid.

I have always enjoyed the story of Alice and Wonderland. I think it is fun, weird, and a great story, but I am not much of a fan of this audiobook. I thought the narration was not the greatest. He seemed to drag the story out a bit too long.
