And kids like nonsensical stories. Hell they muyst if they can watch Dora over and over again.
If it were just kids I would just dismiss it as that, but with people my own age (23) and older talking about it like it's the best book ever I just don't understand.
Maybe you just lack the sense of wonderment now? It takes being able to imagine things not as how close to how they are but how they could be on a whim. It's much more than "nonsensical." I'm planning on re-reading/reviewing the book in the next month or so, but last year I blogged about Borges' take on Carroll, so I'll just provide the link to that, as I'd rather go home now than spend an extra 5-10 minutes formatting it here

I understand that, but I've heard many people talking about how great this book is.

I like to think I have a pretty good imagination and a decent sense of wonder.
