Summary: Movie is Much Better
Review: I read this book hoping for some real symbolism -- something on par with Orwell's Animal Farm. After all, the film gives you the impression that the story is that cutting edge. I was wrong. The movie is far superior to the book. Don't waste your time reading this book. Incidentally, you should know that Wonka did enslave the Oompa Loompas though and then lied about it by making up that proposterous story of "saving them". The portrayal of Wonka in the film is far more entertaining as his sarcasm and lies are far more apparent. You got to love "children's" movies that are made for adults. Neverthless, I don't completely pan the book - otherwise no movie.

Summary: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - read this book!
Review: Roald Dahl's books never fail to captivate, amuse, and entertain, and none more so than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The picture on the front cover grabs your attention, and after you read the description on the back cover you can't wait to start reading! The main character is a small boy named Charlie, whose family is very poor. Charlie loves chocolate, and he becomes very excited when he finds out that Willy Wonka is opening the doors of his enormous chocolate factory to the lucky finders of five Golden tickets. Unfortunately, the tickets are hidden inside five Wonka chocolate bars, and Charlie's family can't afford to buy chocolate. Charlie is desolate until one day he finds a dollar bill in the street, uses it to buy two chocolate bars, and, lo and behold, the fifth Golden Ticket is in the second bar! Charlie and the other four greedy ticket holders, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee, Augustus Gloop, and Veruca Salt see strange and astonishing things in the factory, and some of them come out looking a bit worse for wear. I liked the author's ability to come up with wacky and unpredictable events at every turn; the surprise at the end was both unexpected and rewarding. I didn't really find any major problems with the book, although by my standards it was a bit short. I highly recommend this book and its sequel(Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator) to anybody from age 8 to 12.

Summary: Obedience Counts
Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a great book by Roald Dahl. In this story Charlie Bucket is the main character. He is a poor boy that lives in a shabby house. Charlie and four other children (Mike, Veruca, Violet, and Augustus) all win a tour of Mr. Wonka's secret chocolate factory. Each of the children had found a golden ticket in a Wonka bar. Once they were inside the factory each kid, one by one, got into trouble, except Charlie. Some were so bad they were changed for life! But Charlie obeyed Mr. Wonka and got a big surprise. I like this book because it has lots of excitement, action, and humor on every page. My favorite part is the end when Charlie's grandparents, who have not been out of bed in years, are put into Mr. Wonka's great glass elevator screaming and howling. The funny thing about it was they did not know they were going to live with Mr. Wonka in his chocolate factory! People can learn to obey from this book. Four children disobeyed Mr. Wonka and got hurt, but Charlie obeyed and got a reward. I recommend this book for kids age six to eleven. It is also fun and exciting so you will definitely want to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Summary: Kev
Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The book I read was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. The year it was published was in 1964. The main characters are Charlie Bucket, Grandpa Joe, Agustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Mike Teavee. This book is about Charlie Bucket who wants to get a golden ticket in a Wonka bar so that he and four other children can go inside Wonka's factory. Unfortunatly, he can't even afford a candy bar! So one day when he was walking down the street he found some money in a gutter, which was enough to buy a candy bar! So he bought a Wonka bar and what was inside? A golden ticket! This was the last golden ticket. Now he gets to go inside Wonka's factory! The moral of the story is to live your dreams and don't give up. Charlie learns that being spoiled gets you nowhere, because all the other children get such as shrunk or sucked up a pipe. Charlie changes because he gets to own a big chocolate factory in the end. I gave this book a five out of five.
