Summary
An acclaimed children’s classic depicting the odd, but riveting journeys of the curious Alice as she explores the surreal world of Wonderland. Written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson or better known under his pseudonym Lewis Caroll, this episodic novel is assembled in twelve chapters each containing a prominent adventure. The departure from logic and its embracement of pure imagination is what makes Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland a model for fantasy novels and a timeless classic. The novel begins when the self-aware young Alice, who grows bored of sitting by the river with her sister, and spots a peculiar looking rabbit, dressed in a waistcoat. She hears the rabbit, which is seemingly in a hurry, mumbling whilst dangling its pocket watch. Impulsively, Alice inquisitively rushes after it making her way down a rabbit-hole which descends to the fantasy realm of Wonderland. Finding herself in an unknown corridor encircled by doors of all shapes and sizes, Alice is subject to her first of many bizarre encounters. In order to fit through a tiny door, which separates her from a beautiful garden, she drinks a shrinking potion. Unfortunately, she forgets the key to the door on the normal sized table and faces the beginning of her troubles. In her pursue of the White Rabbit throughout Wonderland, Alice goes through immense individual changes and revelations as her perception of reality is altered. After a sequence of events, Alice discovers the unsettling features of the strange world as she encounters zany characters including the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Hare and the intimidating Queen of Hearts. Caroll’s use of wordplay is another interesting concept in the novel. Not only does he invent new words and expressions, but he also twists the meanings of the already existing. Illustrating the purity of childhood innocence, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland serves as a playful fairy tale for its youngest readers and a limitless playground for the imaginative minds of older enthusiasts.

The whole group of narrators (voice actors?) all did an amazing job with this classic. I love the soothing voice of the main narrator; his pacing and diction are perfect.
i don't like, reading is very fast!

This was my first time using a audiobook and I'm really happy I choose this book. It was wonderfully read and I really enjoyed it.
The book is good. I like how all of the characters have different voices, Alice's voice fits the character

This audio book is just simply awesome. I LOVE IT especially the voice of alice, so fitting to the personality. Just wonderful. I loved the fact that all characters have different voices and they are pretty good. Very enjoyable audiobook. I'd like to hear more of these readers. They are too good.
Just wanted to say that when the Cat mentions how everyone in Wonderland is mad it made me realize that Wonderland could be used as an analogy for the Internet and we as Alice who entered the rabbit hole.

The readers' voices are great. Both engaging and calming. This puts me to sleep in minutes. It even worked on my teething, sick niece. I like the pace as it is a natural speaking pace.

This was better as a movie,it's so abstract and almost too playful.I think it's more fun as a visual story.Although the reader did a good job.

Every character has its own voice, I wish all recordings are like this.
Denise
I usually have such a difficult time paying attention to audio versions of books that I don't bother. However, this was so professionally done I really enjoyed it. Well done!
Brad
This was better then a movie. The readings were great. I listened to part of this book and read it. Listening is better in this case with the different voices.
