The book is totally crazy, but in a good way...slightly creepy but very well devised. I am always surprised that so few people actually read it, either because they don't like the film or because they like the film and can't be bothered to read the books...I recently saw an excellent production of both Wonderland and Looking Glass that did absolute justice to the fantastical language, poetry and characters...Disney totally got hold of the wrong end of the stick when they "adapted" it (bowdlerised more like!) the chapters add to a sense of 'lost in a strange place' that Alice feels...Wonderland comes across as dangerous place indeed at times...
