Ratings and reviews

I am not giving 3 stars to the story; I am giving it to the this e-book. This version is an automatically generated thing by scanning a 1918 U.S. print, and nobody seemed to have proofread it. There are some weird conversion errors such as small w instead of the quotation mark. Also, this is not the original British spelling. I am switching to a British version, the one with mushrooms on the cover.

I can't believe it. In the first chapter, Google has completely missed out the part where Alice actually falls down the rabbit hole. Here is the exact part: 'before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket or a watch to take out of it, and, her, still it was good practice to say it over) "—yes, that's about the right distance — but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?" ' May I point out that I am reviewing Google, not the book; Lewis Carroll is an excellent writer.

I always wanted to read this, and now I wished I hadn't, it is nothing but endless ramblings, a bland and lifeless world, and idiotic prose. This book is too smart for children, but too dumb for adults. Would not read ever again
