Read this one in Japanese and it took me long enough. It was a bilingual version, which was really useful. I already knew the story and that made it easier, but it's got a more literary style than the little prince. ( ) reviewed When i read this last time i never wrote a review for it: possibly because i'd only just written a review for Alice's Adventures Under Ground and didn't really see the need to say much the same for this book. So what brings me to reading this book again and writing a review now, you may ask. Well, it's because i just finished reading Heartless by Marissa Meyer and i so wanted to see how well it would flow into Alice's Adventures in Wonderland if it was read as a prequel. Now i'm certainly not saying that this book needs a prequel, but if it were to have one then Heartless has my full blessings to occupy that honoured place. Yes, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a wonderful book in and of itself and really doesn't need me to write another review of it here, and it stands alone without any need for a prequel, but i actually feel that it makes a much better reading experience if you read Heartless beforehand. Here be some more 'Alice and Wonderland' books. A great book, I can always find new things every time I re-read it. On the other side I have to be honest, I didn't find the Scarlet Johanson's narration as amazing as other readers say. "Si stava molto meglio a casa" pensava la povera Alice, "senza crescere e diminuire tutto il tempo, e senza farsi comandare da topi e conigli. (pagina 57) Così su due piedi non ti so dire qual è la morale di questa faccenda, ma tra un attimo mi verrà in mente. (pagina 150)
It's just a delicious, borderline hallucinatory, confection of a book. Invention and imagination tumble over each other in the excitement, and there is something in there to delight every reader. There are countless plays on words (the mouse giving a very dry lecture on William the Conqueror to restore those who have been soaked by Alice's gigantic tears is the one that, for some reason, pleased me most), verbal pyrotechnics and semantic shenanigans to please the "ordinary" reader. And although they entirely passed me by at the time, I know now from various more scientifically-minded friends that their childish interests snagged on the mathematician author's various numerical and logic puzzles.
