Book or Movie...

First I just want to point out the Burton did an amazing job making this EXTREMELY fictional book into a movie. He convinced me that everything was real, from the characters, to the plot and the setting. The movie helps paint a picture in the audience's imaginations. Having watched the movie prior to reading the book I already had an idea of what the characters looked like and how they acted. I thought the movie and the book were extremely similar and there weren't very many differences. Every book I've read I have enjoyed more than the coinciding movie, but Alice breaks the trend. I think that the movie was much better than the book because Dodgson story was so hard to believe until you actually could see what was happening as it showed it in the movie.
