Summary: Good but not great
Review: This book was good but not great. My son and I read together and we liked it but it was not as good as the first book. It was a very strange trip through wonka world. Not gripping, but interesting.

Summary: Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator book review
Review: After the Prequel, Charlie and Mr. Wonka and the crew are left in the Great Glass Elevator. In the sequel, (they're still in the elevator,)they find the Grea Space Hoteland the Commuter Capsule in space. They decide to be th first ones to to enter the Space Hotel, so they go inside. Inside, they find the Vermicious Knids.(a kind of green-brown upside down eggs with eyes) So they scream run away back into the elevator. There are Knids everywhere! Even outside the Hotel! But fortunately, the Elevator is Knid-proof. The Elevator flies all the way around the world, but they end up where they left! They decide to save the Commuter capsule, so they hook onto it with Knid-proof rope, and fly back to the Earth, unhooking from the Capsule and the Elevator ends up in the Chocolate Factory. I liked this book alot bcause it's funny. Roald Dhal always writes funny, confusing, and imaginary books. I also liked his "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." (hint hint hint, READ THE BOOK!)

Summary: Disappointing and Pointless
Review: I've read the positive reviews for this book, and I just can't understand them. It's fairly obvious to me what happened -- in 1972, with the success of the movie version (1971) of the first book, the author probably answered the call for a sequel to the 1964 classic. Too bad. While the original is a timeless and charming (with a thoughtful message), this book is choppy, disjointed, and poorly written. Worse, there's just no point to it at all. Pages and pages are devoted to a rather silly saga of the elevator in space, which perhaps would have been marginally interesting in 1972, but badly dated at this point. That's the first half of the book. The rest of the book is wasted on the grandparents getting younger, then older, then younger again, by means of Mr. Wonka's concoctions. That really is all that it is about. Does that sound interesting to you? Again, no point at all. It just rambles on page after page as if Mr. Dahl's advance were based on the page count. Mercifully, the book ends. Nothing about the factory. Nothing about Charlie growing up. Nothing about Mr. Wonka teaching Charlie anything. I suggest you avoid it.

Summary: The Witches
Review: I think this book was flawless. It had very little appeal to me when I started reading it but as I read the story became as realistic as apart of my life. When I finished the book I had strong respect for the author. I think Roal Dahl should be congratulated for writing such a masterwork.

Summary: A Really Really Really Really GREAT BOOK
Review: I thought this book was awesome. It was always interesting. To understand this book better you should read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory first. It was funny when the old people, besides Grampa Joe, got really angery with Willy Wonka when they had to go so fast. I liked the craziness of Willy Wonka like when he wanted to make a 2nd hole in the celling. I hope you enjoy this book.

Summary: CHARLIE AND THE GREAT GLASS ELEVATOR
Review: My brother had this book when he was a little boy. My mother was cleaning out his closet and found this book of "CHARLIE AND THE GREAT GLASS EVEVATOR". She gave to my 8 years old son and I read to him and his 6 years old sister. They loved it every minutes of it. Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is a GREAT BOOK and VERY FUNNY. There favorites is the Battle of the Knids. It was very funny and the kids loved it. I recommended this book to my other friends.

Summary: Quite unlike "Chocolate Factory"
Review: I'm very surprised at the positive reviews. This confusingbook has almost none of the charm and grace of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". The characters are often surly and sour, the attempts at humor are often spiteful, there's a paranoid overtone to the whole sorry mess that left me very, very sad. Halfway through, my young son and I decided to put it down, which resulted in a pretty good conversation between us about how even talented writers can go far astray. I can't help thinking that Mr. Dahl was in a pretty dank personal space when he knocked this insipid sequel out.

Summary: THIS BOOK WAS GREAT! I LOVED IT!
Review: Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is a GREAT BOOK! It stinked so much I loved it. There is two plotlines that don't go together, which is okay! Commander Dahl(he was a Commander in the RAF during World War 2.), your a genius. I know it got bad reviews,etc., but it was a pleasure reading it, even though Dahl hated writing the thin book.
