Fantastic story! Great show by the narrators

Would you listen to Alice in Wonderland again? Why?

Yes, again and again! Because of the wonderful conversations and the way the actors play with words. Alice is a bit silly, but there are so many weird and funny characters that I never knew were invented by Lewis Carroll, it is simply fantastic fun!

What did you like best about this story?

The conversations and events, and the way they are acted by the cast. Very entertaining!

What does David Horovitch and Jo Wyatt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Not only David and Jo, but the audiobook has a full cast that brings the story completely to life. I even started to talk like them myself as I got totally into the story. "Off with his head!!"

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and no. Yes because of the fun, but sometimes it gets a bit tiring to listen to all the different voices. In two or three sittings however, very good indeed!

Any additional comments?

Apparently, this book is also a criticism of Victorian cultural norms. That may be, but I did not read so much in this. That might be my ignorance in the matter. It does not detract from the wonderful story though....:-)

Rather Watch It

A great story and the book is a classic but nothing can compare to the visual effects produced on the big screen.

Loved it!

Of course Lewis Carroll's story was great, I expected that- but what was truly amazing was all the different voices that brought this story to life! I know I will listen to this classic again and again.

One of the best Audio versions of this book!

Loved the full cast and performances, everything from the narrator to the small characters were full of personality, and Alice had a very good range of emotions and vulnerability in this performance.

Tweedle Lee Dee Tweedle Dee Dum

Alice in Wonderland, written by: Lewis Carroll, narrated by: David Horovitch , Jo Wyatt, etc. Everyone knows by now this is a story of Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar humanlike and animal-like creatures that in response to any question comment on British society of the 1860s whether it provides an answer to the propounded question or not.

The storyline is Alice seeking to return home (after falling into the rabbit hole) to her Victorian homestead but on the way she has to understand her newly found societal explanations of what is and what is not to get to a portal to return her to England. In reality, her new society speaks jargon much like her English home, but that her Wonderland experience is distinguished only by the fact that what everyone says is more obviously topsy-turvy as compared to the normal everyday British doublespeak. It makes for a titillating listen. It turns your mind up and down, back and forth and inside and out.

The story is elemental and so, even children will understand and get the gags and the resulting giggles as well. Yet a warning. As good as it is, it is not as good as the 1951 Disney production. Yet, get it, read it and have a tweedle lee dee tweedle dee dum day.
