Summary: Charlie's Magical Funny Visit to the Chocolate Factory
Review: If you like funny books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl is the book for you. It is about a boy named Charlie Bucket who is kind, honest, and unselfish. He hears that Mr. Willy Wonka is having a contest. If you find a golden ticket in your candy bar, you win a tour of the chocolate factory and get to meet Mr. Wonka. Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee, and Charlie win the contest.

During the tour Willy Wonka tests the children, but they don't know it. Each time Willy Wonka gives them a test something funny happens. Violet blows up like a blueberry when she chews the gum that she isn't supposed to eat. The Oompa Loompas, who are Mr. Wonka's helpers, have to roll Violet to the Juicing Room so they can squeeze the juice out of her. Augustus Gloop, whose hobby is eating, falls into the Chocolate River when he is trying to eat the chocolate. He gets sucked into a skinny pipe, and he gets stuck in the middle of it. All the pressure of the chocolate builds up and Augustus shoots out the top of the pipe.

This book is funny and it has a lesson too. The lesson is not to be greedy. Each time one of the kids gets into trouble, it is because of being greedy. When Augustus falls into the Chocolate River he was trying to eat all the chocolate. That was greedy.

Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors. Each of his books that I have read has a good lesson and is very funny just like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Roald Dahl is very creative and writes books that are unique in every way. You should start reading Roald Dahl's books if you haven't already. You could start with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Summary: My book review
Review: The book that I am reading is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It is about a young boy named Charlie Bucket who lives in a small, run down old shack. The Buckets are a poor family that can't afford a decent meal. But in one lucky brake, he finds a golden ticket in a Wonka candy bar. He, and four other children were able to go into the Wonka chocolate factory that had not been open in forty years. When they went in, they saw many amazing things that people only dream about. One by one, the kids did something wrong and had to have something done. But Charlie was the only one who was left at the end of the journey. I don' t want to give away the ending but something amazing thing happens to Charlie and his family. But this is not the end. There is a sequel to the book, and it will tell more amazing things of what happens to them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have book!
Review: Forget the movie and read this book instead! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory takes you on a tour of the world's best, most inventive, most delightful, and most mysterious chocolate factory all from the perspective of a small child (Charlie). I loved this book as a child and couldn't wait to read it to my daughter. 9-12 year olds can read the book themselves; I read it to my 5 year old and she keeps asking for it over and again. Her eyes literally grew wide at some of the descriptions and she claimed that she could smell the chocolate in the air as we read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than the movie!
Review: I thought the book was cool to think that this boy could have won a ticket when he was so poor and everyone else was rich.

I think it was an awesome book - that's why I give it 5 stars

Summary: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Review: "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is the, second best book, only second to The B.F.G. the author is Roald Dahl. The illustrater is Quentin Blake. If you're a creative wacky unrealalistic fiction lover, then you'll love this book.

At first Charlie and his family are very poor and can bearly afford cabbage for each meal. Charlie only gets one chocolate bar a year. Then, Willy Wonka, the famous chocolate and candy maker decides to put 5 golden tickets in 5 chocolate bars. Five lucky kids will get them and will be let into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Then, amazing things happen to Charlie's life. I liked the flow of the book.

All fiction lovers, if you read this book I guarantee you will be satisfied. Read this book and see what happens to Charlie!

Summary: Good But Cruel
Review: I enjoyed CATCF up to a point. It was a charming story until something digsugting happened. as soon as Willy Wonka pushed the little girl thorugh the shredder and then fed her guts to the squirrels, I was ready to stop. However, I kept reading, until I came upon the part in which Willy Wonka burned up the little boy when he ws trapped in that room. Then I put the book down for good.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: A bit different from the movie
Review: If you've seen the cinematic version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you'll notice some differences between the book and the movie. Most notably perhaps are the Oompa-Loompas. In the film, they are orange creatures with bright green hair that work and sing in white overalls. In Dahl's book, the Oompa-Loompas are black pygmies from Dark Africa wearing deer skins and leaves. (Considering this book came out in 1964, one can easily see why the change was made for the film.) Also, there are no golden eggs in the book, instead Veruca is done in by intelligent squirrels. And everyone's favorite "bad guy" Slugworth is mentioned, but never appears. This then prevents Charlie from stealing an Everlasting Gobstopper (as in the film) as there is nobody to sell it to.

Other than some minor differences, the book is a good one. Granted changes were made for the film, most people have seen the film and haven't read Dahl's book. So if you intend to look it over (shouldn't take more than 45 minutes to an hour), be prepared to note some differences. And, if you haven't seen the movie, then all the better for you, so enjoy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: mmmm, chocolate.
Review: Although this is one of the few books I can think of that isn't as good as the movie version (Dahl wrote the screenplay), still, it's very very good and I would recommend it to anyone, movie fan or not. I like the way Charlie's father is fleshed out in the book, screwing on toothpaste caps. I also like the length and detail in the story. Great book!
