Review: I haven't enjoyed an aduio book this much. Never. So smoothly delivered by Eric Idle, that you are drawn into the story from moment one. I have never read the book. So, it was enchanting to learn the differences in comparison to the film. Such a terrific family book done absolutely perfectly for audio cd.

Summary: Charlie and the Golden Ticket
Review: In the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there is a little boy named Charlie Bucket. Everyone in the town is looking for five golden tickets so they could finally see Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory as guests. "Four people have already found golden tickets, so far!", the news report said. One day as Charlie was walking into the candy store, he asked the cashier for a Willy Wonka Chocolate Bar, as he was walking out of the store, he slowly unwrapped the candy and saw something shiny. He found the last Golden Ticket! He was so excited, that he invited his Grandpa to the factory. They had so much fun! My favorite part was when they went into the Bubble Room and everyone started to float in the air. They figured out that they needed to start burping to finally land on the ground again. I hope you have fun reading this book and I hope you enjoyed my review too!

Summary: Do Not Buy the Quentin Blake Illustrated Editions!
Review: *** A Purist's Review ***Joseph Schindelman's illustrations are to Roald Dahl's text like Peanut Butter is to Jelly. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of those exciting and unexpected reading experiences that makes an impression when you are young and then years later comes to mind when choosing books for your own children. It is an exploration into a whimsical universe but yet grounded in a real and recognizable Victorian place... Nice for those who have not yet acquired a taste for complicated science fiction and fantasy. My favorite part of the book was the characterizations of the children and their families and a critical part of my enjoyment was the hilarious and classical Joseph Schindelman illustrations. His pictures are truly inspired and cleverly silly... and appear to so accurately portray the essence of each character and scene... as though he knew exactly what Roald Dahl meant - even though this is a fantasy that could have many different visual interpretations. They captured my imagination and added immeasureably to the fun of the story. As a child I had absolutely no desire to see the Gene Wilder movie because the illustrations were so integral to the story in my mind. They remind me of the illustrations in the "Le Petit Nicholas" series (illustrated by Jean Jacque Sempe). . .which are so expressive and cute and elegantly done that they don't even need to be in color. The new edition illustrations are so disappointing in comparison. It's really too bad that the new generation of young readers will be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with no peanut butter. I will instead look for a used copy of the older edition to give as a gift because introducing this wonderful book to a young child without those original illustrations would not be doing it justice.

Summary: The young Factory Owner
Review: I thought the book was very good. At first I thought the book was going to be about old people when I opened the book, but I was wrong, after the first page Ijust could not stop reading the book.The book had me in a diffrent world I was there in the book I can see the people.
The story takes place in a great big city and in the chocolate factory. The characters in the story Augusturs Gloop,Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee, Charlie Bucket last but not least Mr.Willy Wonka. My favorite is Carlie Bucket because he is a nice young man and he's poor and he like wonka's chocolate

Summary: Charlie and the Chocolate Factroy Book Review
Review: Imagine a home, when sometimes you go to bed with an empty stomach. And sometimes you can't have breakfast in the morning before you go to school. Would you like to live this life? But what if then you got the opportunity of a lifetime, and it changed your perception of your life forever. Well this is the situation for Charlie Bucket, the main character in Roald Dahl's fantasy book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Charlie is a normal boy living a minimal life, until a miracle happens.
There are five children in this book: Augustus Gloop; a greedy and big boned boy, Veruca Salt; a girl who is spoiled by her parents, Violet Beauregarde; a girl who chews gum all day, Mike Teavee; a boy who does nothing but watch television all day. And then there's Charlie, a blonde haired boy with blue eyes who is very polite and calm. He lives in a small house with his mother, father, grandfather, and grandmother. Near his house is a humongous candy factory managed by Mr. Willy Wonka, which has been closed down to visitors for years. But now Charlie has found out that there is a worldwide competition to find five golden tickets that are special vouchers to get in the factory for a tour.
After four tickets that have been found, and after several tries to find one Charlie almost gives up all hope. But then one day he finds a dollar on the street, and decides to buy one more candy bar and try again. When he opens it he sees a spec of gold, then rips it open to find he has found the last golden ticket. After an apprehensive wait, he finally gets to enter the factory. Over the next couple of hours they encounter strange rooms and situations in which one child is eliminated each time.
I recommend this book to anyone who has a large imagination and to anyone who likes candy! Roald Dahl likes to right simple with bits and pieces of tough vocabulary and rhyming. I think this book is a good fantasy and imagination builder with lots of humor and some attitude. If you enjoyed this book, be sure to check out the sequel: Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, also written by Roald Dahl.

December 1, 2003 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
By: Roald Dahl
ISBN 0-14-130115-5 If you owned a huge, big, giant factory what would you do? The plot or story takes place were a boy Charlie Bucket and his family is poor. They can barley make and when this famous Chocolate Factory owner Mr. Willie Wonka tells the nation about his contest. If you get the golden ticket in a Wonka bar you will be able to see the famous Wonka factory. Then tons of kids and adults look for these tickets. One by one the tickets disappear then the last ticket is none other than Charlie Bucket. Now he has a chance to save his family from hunger.
The book was very good as a kid I read it and enjoyed it very much. So I checked it back out to read the book I loved before. I very much recommend this book to a child for a holiday or just as a gift. Any kids to read to at night or for fun. Children from five to 10 would love it. This book was not boring at all it was filled with action and comedy.
There were pages that were great and left you in suspense, for example in the begging of the book there are kids finding the golden ticket and you never know whom, how, or what there names are!

Summary: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Review: Chalie and the Chocolate Factory is writt4en by Roald Dahl. Roald Dahl has written other books such as, James and the Giant Peach, The Witches, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Charlie and the Glass Elevator. All of these books have humor and splendid plots.
Charlie, a poor boy who lives with his parents and grandparents, finds the last golden ticket. The ticket allows him to have a tour in the famous Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Four other lucky winners and himself get the tour. Crazy things happen to the five winners.
The book has similarities to the movie, but the book is much, much better. I recommend this book to kids in the age of 8-12, and people that like humorous books. This book is so funny that you might laugh out loud without even trying to.
