P: Why did you choose this book? What were your expectations? Why did you expect what you did? How is the book living up to your expectations?
R: I have found my self reading, yet again, A classic children's story which has previously been made into a Disney movie. I've chosen to read this story mostly because of the Tim Burton film that will be coming out in March. It's always fun to compare a novel ad a movie, especially when you've been given the chance to read the book first. I also wanted to read this story because I know if it is popular enough to be made into a movie twice over there must be something special about it. I know that this novel is a tale of pure fantasy and I've always expected it to be an entertaining read. White rabbits, screaming queens, blue caterpillars, all seem to have not very much in common so I expect this story will take the reader on quite the journey. I suppose I expect this considering I have seen the Disney version of this movie a very long time ago; however, I don't remember very much about it. As I've began reading the imagery in the tale has slowly begun to jog my memory as to scenes and characters from the animation and it has made me very excited to see Tim Burton's interpretation. The world Carroll has created makes it very fun for me to picture this bizarre journey Alice has begun. I certainly am reading this novel more quickly than other's this year as the pure lighthearted feel to the reading has made it feel as though no time is passing at all.
