Summary: a real classic
Review: Every child in the United States should read this book. It is a real classic in literature. Dahl does a wonderful job combining reality and fantasy, andn created a novel that can be read over many times with interest. All of Dahl's stories are amazing. I was very disappointed with the movies that were based on his novels, however (Willy Wonka, Matilda, James & the Giant Peach).

Summary: A classic innocent fantasy
Review: Roald Dahl's dark humor is far enough beyond reality that children can laugh at the ridiculous situations. A modern day fable with a creative twist that will intrigue any imagination. Much better than the movie.

Summary: This will hold your interest for summer reading.
Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a book about a boy named Charlie who lives in a small shack outside of town with several relatives. The house is very crowded. Everyday on his paper route Charlie passes the Wonka Chocolate Factory and lifts his nose to smell the scent of melted chocolate in the air. Charlie wishes he could just have a chance to go into the factory. Then one day Charlie walks by the factory and notices it is in operation again after ten years. It was inoperative because Mr. Willy Wonka couldn't trust his workers. They were all spies. So he found and rescued the Oompa Loompas so they could work for him. Later, Mr. Wonka had an idea for a contest. There would be 5 golden tickets wrapped in 5 Wonka Bars in the world. The lucky finders would be able to enter the factory and bring two guests...I suggest you read this book because it is a funny, well written, easy to understand book for a 10-12 year old.

Summary: Our local librarian recommended this book.
Review: My son is 3 1/2 yrs old and loves to "read" books together. I asked the librarian for a chapter book that we could read a little each night. (The books for 3 yr olds are pretty short.) She recommended Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I wasn't sure that it would hold his attention - the illustrations are simple line drawings and only one every few pages. He loves it! The language is expressive and captivating. And the strange things that happen really catch his attention. We will definitely read Roald Dahl again .

Summary: too much fantasy!
Review: I viewed this book just because it was mentioned by many people I'm talking with. It is fine, Dahl has done good for selling his dream. I, however, still don't understand his point to add fantasy in most part of this book. I consider it too much fantastic. Even if you are young, this book will give you not much more thing than making you hungry!

Summary: You'll love this book if you like fun and imaginative ones.
Review: I read the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. This book is awesome, imaginative, funny and once you start it you can not put it down. Even though it is fiction, it has a lot to do with real-life problems and how irresponsible and careless human beings can be. I would give this book a 5 star rating. This book is about a really poor boy coming from a poor family who does not have a lot of things or any toys to play with. The best birthday present he can get is just a chocolate bar from Willie Wonka's chocolate factory, which he loves. It may not sound like much of a birthday present to you, but from a really, really poor family with absolutely no money, it is a pretty big deal. Also Charlie is very grateful for all of his presents even if they are small. Charlie is a very kind and loving child, and he is not a bragger or a bully. Mr. Wonka, the chocolate factory owner, starts to put golden tickets into chocolate bars and if you find one of the 5 golden tickets in the world in your chocolate bar, you would be very lucky. The reason is because you would get a special tour of the Wonka factory. Then one day, to Charlie's surprise, he found money in the sewer to buy a chocolate bar and found a golden ticket in it! Charlie is very excited when he goes on the tour with his grandfather. That reminds me to tell you that Charlie's grandfather is another very important character. That is because the grandfather is very inspirational and keeps Charlie out of trouble in the factory. Cause Charlie's grandfather is also very kind and caring. But I am not going to give everything away. I will tell you that it is wonderful inside because everything in the factory is made of candy which makes your mouth water. I think it's the best book in the world because it is funny and imaginative. It is funny because some of the people on the tour are very spoiled and irresponsible so they get punished in funny ways, but I won't tell. You will have to

Summary: The book that made me want to read more books! (In 4th grade
Review: I remember my 4th grade teacher reading this book to us. (Something that nobody does for you anymore when your'e 10). I loved just being able to relax and hear a good kids' fantasy! Recently I bought this book for my son. He loved the story (and the time we spent at bedtime). I then loaned "Charlie" to my stepson. He read it himself AND THEN read it to his younger sister. What great memories this book has created for so many in my family! A classic is a classic. And all we have to do is share it with a child to experience it again and again! Don't miss this chance! You never know, in another 30 years, your kids may not only remember this as one of the best times of their lives, but may read about "charlie & willie" to your grandkids. And whether you'll be their or not, you'll be remembered over and over again.

Summary: A Classic
Review: Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" remains a classic in children's literature thirty years after it was first published. I remember reading it as a child and still enjoy looking over my old copy. Dahl perfectly understands what children like to read about: wacky characters, nonsense, funny words, candy, and the good side winning out in the end. Though the classic fairy tales of the Grimm brothers, famous for their uncompromising endings, are also important children's stories, Dahl almost always, without shame, shoots and scores with a happy ending. The characters are all unforgettable, and the movie is likewise a "scrumdiddlyumptious" treat. Treat a child you know to this wonderful book.

Summary: This is a great fantisy book that will catch your eye!!!
Review: I read the book called, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl. It is about a poor family, with a little boy named Charlie. They live off of one meager meal a day. Then their luck changes, when Mr. Willy Wonka wraps only five Golden Tickets that enable the winner to go into his factory. This is exciting because the factory has been closed to visitors, but you can see little figures in the windows and nobody comes in or out. Everyone all over the world tries to get Golden Tickets. All these rich snobby kids get the tickets. Charlie gets a chocolate bar for his birthday but there is no Golden Ticket. He also found money on the street and gets a chocolate bar with the last Golden Ticket. To find out about Charlie and his family, you will have to read this book. I would really recommend it, it is so exciting!
