I read the little subtitle about the weather being a subject that won't offend anyone and had to grin, because, of course, someone was going to get offended anyway. :P Silly people. I think the best part is the end when Alice is about to leave, and the Hatter puts all this effort into being suddenly nice to convince her to stay. I suppose, sometimes anyway, there is a method to his madness. :)

lol

'"And it's difficult to believe they've let you sing more than once." Alice folded her arms.' Is brilliant, as is the entire bit about the Hatter singing.

I suppose I've said it before, but I do enjoy how clever this is. :D

:) I really do enjoy this story. Seeing the characters sitting around engaging in clever banter...makes me wonder why I can't see this in my other fandoms more often. With a little less crazy to suit the situation, but clever. Clever is a good thing.

'"But surely parsley has already been invented," said Alice, immediately forgetting her resolve to withdraw from the conversation entirely.

"Not orange-flavored," said the Hatter'

This part made me crack up. :D

Oh wow, I like this even better than the first chapter. I love the bit about not speaking truth to kings, the rabbit admitting he was a terrible pupil when his mother was teaching him to speak, and of course the end, which is brilliant. Sort of makes me want to slap the Hatter! Of course, I also can't help but admire him for being so clever and all. :D

I guess it's not bad that I laughed at the end, seeing how this is listed as "humor". :D

I must say that I haven't read any fic for BooksAlice in Wonderland before. I've read the book, but it's not something that ever sent me looking for fanfiction. This is fun to read, though. :)

This chapter seemed a little bit more serious than the others, but I still liked it. I love the fact that the entire time they've been at tea, yet it never was once boring. Each chapter, while based around the same premise: them being at tea, had something new to offer the reader everytime and I thoroughly enjoyed each crazy glance into the mad tea party. I really liked the last part of this chapter.

Thorough the rest of the chapters it seemed like he was purposely trying to antagonise her through a sense of callousness, but when she threatens to leave, he seems to be genuinely desperate to have her stay. Although, maybe I'm reading it wrong, because she does still seem throroughly agitated with him when he asks her if she wants more tea.

There are so many lines I absolutely loved in this chapter:

We'll personally prise from the preposterous personage a pretty purple-prosed pardon, pondering our passage with pleas of please." I love your use of alliteration here. In fact, I love alliterations in general and I think everything should have more use of alliterations, and your use overjoyed me because it was especially long.

The part about the song, Mabel Had a Little Lamb, actually had me legitimately laughing out loud, and then how it immediately talks about that the Queen was angry about the song because she wasn't invited to eat Lunch, which is horrible but funny at the same time.

I think I accidently reviewed you the same thing for chapters 1 and 2, so I'm going to include a proper review for chapter 2 in this review as well.

Chapter 2: First of all, this: "You shouldn't talk with your mouth open."

It took poor Alice a full five minutes to work up the courage to voice her rejoinder, which was, "Excuse me, Mr. Hatter, but if I don't speak with my mouth open, no one could hear me."

"Exactly," said the Hatter, with no small amount of triumph., was my favourite part. Take it for the Hatter to say something like that. As I mentioned in the last review, I like how you've captured the essence and language of Alice in Wonderland through your own words. And the banter between the Hare and the Hatter is just so funny.

Chapter 3:

I love how you've drawn this whole piece together through the use of their crazy tea party as the setting. I love the illogical argument between Alice and the Duchess, where she insists that they were the ones coming to her rather than the other way around. And then Alice's exasperation when the cook comes around and starts to make the same illogical argument with her. Your writing style is also very witty, of which I am extremely envious of. I think my favourite part of this chapter is when the duchess and the cook go flying backwards when they sneeze, and their names get inverted as well.

This chapter definitely made me laugh, especially the ending line where the Hatter laments about the waste of perfectly good tea. I think you've really captured the essence of "The Mad Tea Party" through your writing style. The characters still retaining their craziness without being too overdone.

I also liked the shortness of the peace, because it was simple, yet it captured the purpose of the piece.

What an interesting character. I can't help but be astounded by the Hatter each time. He happens to be my favorite in your story, but he also happens to be the source of a lot of conflict. He's witty and condescending, but in such an intelligent manner that there's absolutely no disliking him. And when I look at Alice, I don't get annoyed, which is how I usually feel. She has a tendency to grate me with her know-it-all attitude, but you've made me feel that she's just trying to be logical. I suppose this is the original purpose of her, but she never ceased to annoy me in the books/movie/so on.

Anyway, keep up the great work! You've done a very good job. :)

Wordy

Another amusing chapter! You've got a way of making things move ahead in this story, which is difficult due to their staying at the tea table. Not only that, but I have to praise you again because you manage to make each chapter as humorous as the last, without making the same jokes or witty puns between the characters. I know I would be at a loss, and I find myself in awe of what you've done here.

The way you sprinkle alliteration throughout this whole chapter is marvelous, especially when you do it in small pieces. There was the long sentence filled with p- words, but after that you kept it a minimum, which was a good way of running the joke without overdoing it. Secondly, I enjoy your use of word-confusion between the characters. It's reflective of the original story, and very funny. Again, great job. :)

I think the best part of this chapter might be your opening line. It's a simple introduction, but said in the most complicated manner. I think this is very reflective on part of the premise of Alice in Wonderland, and to be able to adapt to the necessary narration is very important and awe-inspiring.

I also think you're very skilled considering you were able to loop back to the beginning of the chapter with the simple "turned up her nose." It's another way to reflect the circular logic many of these characters have. :)

Great chapter!

First time Alice considered leaving? That's quite surprising, and yet I understand why she would be too stunned by those weird characters to move at all… Regardless, the way the Hatter held her back was quite adorable. I like the way you described every detail of his attitude. He was disconcertingly charming, compared to his earlier antagonism, and yet it only sounded right in the way you pictured him, like it was nothing but another facet of his character - and God knows he must have many! The part about the drawing was really hilarious in the way you described it. Your style of writing really expresses Alice's logical way of thinking and seeing things, and it makes every oddity all the funnier and all the more disconcerting. Oh, and I loved the Hatter being in his "left" mind. That was pretty funny, and it really summed him up ;)

Always at tea indeed! Your chapter openings would be legend, if this whole story wasn't legend already! I adored the plays on words, the mad alliterations sentence when the Hatter declared what they'd ask the queen, the little song, and her reaction to it. The part about Alice's idea was truly hilarious, it might be my favourite part in the whole chapter. This is just lovely!
