Summary: The best book in the world
Review: Roald Dahl1s description in the chocolate factory is glamorous and truly amazing. I liked the book very much. It is one of my favorite books. Roald Dahl can really write books which are funny, exciting with a lot of fantasy and you like to read his books over and over again. What is good about the book is that Dahl writes so many details and you can see everything so clear in front of you. I would recommend the book to all children and maybe teenagers.

Summary: good
Review: The movie and book are both good, but the movie is bettter because it amplifies the mystical, evil, horrifying side of the story which excited me at a very young age. It is a great horror movie, because it is so off from reality that it is just evil. It acknowledges nothing that has to do with the real world, and is grotesque to the point of terrifying perfection.

Summary: charlie and the chocolate factory is great!
Review: What a great book! scary at times yes, but fun! Can't believe there was so much contreversy when this book first was released in 1964. Roald Dahl was perhaps one of the best children's books best authors. I reccomend this book to adults too, as this book is filled with great adventures.

Summary: This book is only for those with vivid imaginations & minds
Review: If the highest goal of any author is to create a picture in the mind of those who read his or her works, Roald Dahl can rest easy. I read this book when I was 10 or 11, and the vivid images that raced through my mind as I read were incredible. I feel sorry for anyone who can only see on the poverty of the Bucket family, the fate of the four less than saintly children, or the evasive turn of phrase used by Willy Wonka. This is a wonderful work of literature for those who see the good in Charlie Bucket and understand as he does that goodness is its own reward. The chocolate factory is just, if you will pardon the expression, double fudge icing on the heavenly devil's food cake. I hope my 10 year old niece has the same wonder-filled experience with her Christmas present this year.

Summary: It was very exiting, and I couldn't put it down!
Review: I heard about it from my mom, who heard about from a friend. I went to the library and found it, and began to read that night. At first it didn't seem so good (like most books seem to me at the bigining), but then as I read on, it started to turn into one of the best books I had ever read! I highly reccomend this book to people who like adventure, inventions, and of course, choclate!

Summary: Cute, but mean-spirited
Review: I was sorry to read the experience of [e-mail] below. I read this book when I was young, and I read it to my son when he was about seven. The story is cute and you really feel sympathetic to Charlie. But it is also somewhat mean-spirited. What happens to each child in the Chocolate Factory is not fair, and would be tragic if it happened in real life. Try to think of the characters as cartoons and you will really enjoy the book.

Summary: A very imaginative book
Review: This book is one of my favourite books and I like it because it is about chocolate and I love chocolate and I like it also because it is very creative and exciting.

Summary: Hatred of Evil
Review: I hate this book SOOOO much. I was seven when I read it for the first time. It scarred me to irrevocable fear and forced its malicious, acrid depiction of the murder of four innocent children down my vulnerable throat. Many have argued with me and have said that the children didn't die. However, I argue intensely. First of all, Willy Wonka is a liar and anything that expels from his horrid monstrous mouth can be regarded only for the sake of malevolence and remain at that. Second of all, even if they didn't die, they most certainly lost their sanity - for who would not if one was nearly drowned and sucked up a pipe only to be despensed in a boiler, turned into a blueberry only to be mocked and rolled by evil little creatures, forced to fall down an opening into a garbage disposal to be burned in a nightmarish furnace, or shrunken beyond recognition by harmful rays of light? This book has caused horrible nightmares to haunt me and every movement I make for the past nine years. I have not even tasted a blueberry or anything blue colored since for fear I will suffer the same fate as the characters. I hate this book and movie with all the hatred I could possibly hate anything with. Do yourself a favor and read The Neverending Story - a wonderful fantasy allegory that holds the children reading it with respect and save you and your children's sanity.
