Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll

Did not finish book. Stopped at 48%.
I have been putting Alice in Wonderland off since I was a child. I never liked the movie as much as my friends did, it always creeped me out. Then my literature teacher in high school did not help. She though Lewis Carroll was an absolute creep and spent a whole class telling us how much of a perv he was. I looked into it and decided that there's not enough info to actually deem him a perv or not, however I will say that the Victorians had some weird and perturbing pastimes when it came to children omg.
Anyways, I am almost half the way through the story and all that has happened so far is this little girl drinks something, shrinks and cries. So then she eats something, grows in size and cries some more. She also says things that to me do not sound like a child speaking. The best way I can explain it is comparing this book to any of Roald Dahl's. When I read Matilda or The Witches the kids in those stories came across like...well kids. Alice on the other hand is all over the place and her thoughts in my opinion are too mature for a kid at points but then somehow she is extremely dumb the next sentence? 
 And it's kind of odd tbh. Like my dude Lewis had no f*cking clue how kids rationalize things. I was not enjoying it at all...so I stopped. I hope all of my book besties who love Alice In Wonderland don't hate me, believe me when I say that I am heartbroken. I really wanted to like this book :(
