"'I don't want to go among mad people!' Alice remarked.'Oh, you can't help that," said that Cat: "We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad.'"
I'm sure we've all heard of this story, but have we read it? After watching the super old video I have of Disney's Alice in Wonderland too many times over (I swear, I know every single line of that movie by heart. I am sadly obsessed.), I decided to read it. Oh, boy, this would be a big feat for me.
See, the book may be only about 200 pages long, but the old english it's written in is really hard to follow. It's not the Alice that I remember from the movies, it isn't as cheerful, but I think I like this Alice better. It's a weird, astonishing book that really doesn't make any sense whatsoever. That is possibly the reason that I love it.
When I did finish it, and watched the movie for the eight billionth time over, I realized that the movie is quite different from the book. Or should I say books? Alice appears in two books by Lewis Carroll, and the Disney movie (and most other things that are spin-offs of the lovely Alice) actually mixes both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. Two books, sounds like three. If you'd like to know these mixes, I suggest you start reading them!
