Rating: Summary: A Great Chocolate Book! Review: This book is about a boy called Charlie. Charlie was poor. He lived with his grandpa, Joe and his grandma, Josephine. One day a chocolate factory closes for many years. When they open the factory gates, whoever gets a golden ticket can visit the Wonka Chocolate Factory! But there are just five golden tickets in Wonka Cocolate bars. This book is about what happens when Charlie finds a golden ticket. The best characters are Charlie, Willy Wonka and Grandpa Joe. I liked this book because it was funny and it was about chocolate.
Rating: Summary: A TRULY ENJOYABLE BOOK! Review: Who says you need to read mystery and horror books to get excited? When my friend recommend it to me I didn't want to read as i thought it was dull. You see,I don't read any other type of books other than horror and mystery. I think other tyes of books were boring! So, I finally drag myself to read and you know what? I was not able to put it down. It was a great book and exciting. I got excited everytime Charlie bought a chocolate bar. I was waiting for the moment he was going to find the Golden Ticket inside! So, i finished the book in two hours time and right after that I went straight to the grocery store and I bought myself my all-time favorite chocolate, Cadbury's Roasted Almond and I ate it like it was the first time I ever tasted chocolate! The writer made me think of chocolate like it was the yummiest food on earth. I think after reading that book, I appreciated chocolate more! Thanks, Mr. Dahl.
Rating: Summary: Good book, but the movie is better... Review: This is a fairly good book--it presents its story effectively, and it shows how the world at large often views people who are "so poor [they] can only buy one candy bar a year," like Charlie Bucket. As a matter of fact, I could only find one thing wrong with it: Charlie has no faults! He seems to be the superhumanly good type of kid some parents held up to their own children as an example; i. e., "Why in the world can't you be more like X?" and who is hated by every other kid in the neighborhood as a result. My advice: buy the movie, because this is one time the Hollywood version of a story is actually an improvement over the original.
Rating: Summary: Roald Dahl is one of the BEST authors! Review: Charlie is a little boy who is very poor. He unwrapped a Whipped Fudgemello Delight and found a golden ticket. Then he went to Mr. Wonka's invention place and there were some other kids who were there and one guy went up a pipe and one girl went down a garbage chute with her parents and there was one girl was crazy about gum and she got just like a blueberry. Her body was a blueberry, but she had a head, and two arms, and legs.The book was really good and I think it's better than Harry Potter.
Rating: Summary: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl is a very good book to read. I think the book is easy to understand and I liked it. The book is about five children who win golden tickets to go to a chocolate factory owned by Willy Wonka, a famous inventor. One of the children is Charlie Bucket, a poor boy who loves chocolate. You should read this book because it is full of exciting events and interesting people.
Rating: Summary: charlie and the chocolate factory by Roald Dahl Review: It is hard to finish because in the chapter, there are many sentences. However, it is fun to read. I finished nearly half of the book. At the school, I played as Mrs. Teavee in Chalie and the Chocolate factory. I was very excited. Before I played in the play, I had KFC fries chicken. I like Pepsi best. I played for three times continuously. Now, I am on vacation. Next term, I will be in year four. I bought Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator too because it continue from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Rating: Summary: For ANYONE... Review: This is one of Roald Dahl's BEST. After ten years, Willy Wonka has opened the gates of his amazing chocolate factory to the public... only 5 members that is. Who will find the golden ticket wrapped in a Wonka chocolate? For Charlie Bucket it's a mere dream. Charlie is poor and only gets one chocolate bar a year. But one day, he finds a dollar bill in the snow and buys himself a chocolate bar... which just happens to contain the fifth golden ticket. You're swept in a marvelous journey in the chocolate factory with four brats... Mike Teavee who lives for tv...Veruca Salt a little brat with bratty parents...Violet Beauragarde a girl who love gum...and Augustus Gloop who'll eat ANYTHING. Don't worry they all get what they deserve. I recommend this book to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Please don't confuse this with the film! Review: This is really not much like that awful film that came out in the 70's...although I think that Gene Wilder was a good choice to play Willy Wonka. I first read this book in second grade, saw the film a year or so later -- what a disappointment. The book is WONDERFUL! Roald Dahl has a very droll way of writing that is all at once heart-touching, charming, and kind of grotesque -- just the thing that kids love to read! I especially enjoy the songs (in the book, not the movie!) that the Oompa-Loompas would sing: "Augustus Gloop! Augustus Gloop! the big fat dirty nincompoop!" If you like this book, I would also recommend "Fantastic Mr. Fox", an underrated Dahl masterpiece!
