Summary: It was a finger-licking good book!
Review: CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is truly a fantastic book. Dahl's ability to write "wacky" stories is amazing. In CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, Charlie , a young boy living with a very poor family, gets the surprise of his life when he finds a Golden Ticket! Golden tickets are invitions to come to the WONKA chocolate factory. Willy Wonka ,head of the factory, is a candy making genius! He can make all sorts of magical candies such as Candy Balloons, Hair Toffee, Everlasting Gobbstoppers, and Wonka's Scruptious Fudge-Mellow Delights! The main adventure begins when Charlie and his grandfather visit the factory with a group of other children. Then it really gets wild! I won't spoil the ending so pick the book up and read it yourself!

Summary: Outstanding Romp
Review: A childhood favorite of mine, I recently re-read this Dahl classic with my wife. We were whisked along through the thrill of Charlie obtaining one of the prized Golden Tickets and his tour through Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with his Grandpa. It's a bit of a moralistic romp; what sets this volume apart from other children's works?The dark, almost maleficent flippancy of Willy Wonka is brilliant--the person handing out the moralistic lessons is not some smarmy do-gooder. The manic playfulness of Willy Wonka combined with the general tall-tale quality of this book create a wonderful escape from the dreary world we and Charlie typically inhabit.

Summary: Gruesome Fun
Review: Never mind the painfully literal film version: Charlie's adventures in the chocolate factory are more akin to the Brothers Grimm than popular cinematic fantasy. Both children and adults will be amused by the appropriate symbolic way in which the wicked are punished and the good rewarded. An excellent "read aloud" book that older children--and grown-ups too--will enjoy reading on their own as well!

Summary: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Review: What is the probability of you getting one of five golden tickets in the world? Not very big. That is exactly what Charlie thought. But, every time he bought the one and only 'Wonka Bar' he felt a feeling that he was going to win. He never gave up, that is what made him a winner.
I am a lot like Charlie in some ways. Charlie never gave up until he knew that there was no possible chance of him wining, just like me. I liked this book, because I can relate to most characters, and recommended it to people of all ages.

Summary: Roald Dahl at his gruesome best
Review: The reason that I liked Roald Dahl so much is because he refuses to patronize its readers, children included. As a kid, I couldn't stand the fluffy tripe that passed as children's fare (I remember Snoopy was de rigeur at the time). "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is different...Indeed, what 10-year-old wouldn't want to read about gruesome, creative ends for bad children? A TV fiend shrunk and then pulled into a thin string? A snotty spoiled brat dragged off by squirrels and covered in garbage? Nice. The alternative is "Carebears" and "Hello Kitty"....give me a chocolate glutton squeezed through a pipe anytime.

Summary: The great Adventures of Charlie In the Chocolate Factory
Review: This book was a magnificant book! I highly suggest everyone reads it, of all ages. Through out the whole thing it was packed with action. It was not a complicated book to follow, it was very easy to follow. It has tons of GATS or great appeal to senses as my English teacher would say. I would tell the part i liked the most but it would give the whole book away! So get out and get reading Charlie And The Chocolate Factory!

Summary: FUN! FUN! FUN!
Review: I saw the "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" movie in the sixth grade and some time after, read the book. The book is a treat. As I read, I remembered how exciting the movie was and wondering if I'd ever write a children's story. If you have only seen the movie, definitely get your hands on a copy of the book! There were a number of changes made in the film. Charlie and four other kids win a contest and the prize is a tour of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The factory had been closed to the public for years. Are the rumors about the factory and the mysterious Willy Wonka true? Roald Dahl's love of children is reflected in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." The story moves fast and the excitement feels real. It's fun to read about Charlie Bucket and the other characters. As a children's book author, I highly recommend "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" to kids and grown-ups. Richard W. Carlson Jr., Children's Book Author

Summary: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Review: I think that "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is a great book. This book was interesting to read because it was funny and all of the characters are different. Some of the characters in this book are Charlie Bucket, Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregarde, Veruca Salt, and Mike Teavee. I think that kids from the age of 9-12 would enjoy this book. This is why I like this book.

Summary: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - J.P.J.
Review: This book is about a poor boy named charlie. He has blonde hair and lives with his four grandparents and his two parents. He also loves chocolate very dearly.They live in a small cottage on the edge of the town with only one bed which the grandparents sleep in and don't ever get out of.
Charlie and four other kids win a free tour of Willy Wonka's factory. They get in trouble, taste marvolous treats and see marvelous cites.
I think everyone old and young should get a chance to read this book. It is absolutly spectacular. It relates to everyone some how. The lesson is "Loyalty earns you trust!" I say this because everybody no matter who you are has wanted something and tried to get it the wrong way. Then someone eventually says "You should have just have been honest and asked for it."

The story is about 5 children who are spoilt silly and 1 who cant buy a single candybar. These blessed children are given the golden oppurtunity of visiting Mr.Willy Wonkas choclate factory.
The 5 winners are
Augustus Gloop who eats everything in his midst
Veruca Salt who has her parents on leash
Violet Bearegarde who chews gum 24/7
Mike Teavee who is hooked to the television
And of course theres Charlie who is honest,kindhearted,lovable and generous. He comes from an impoverished famil and stumbles upon this chance of a lifetime by pure luck.
Together these 5 children enter a Dreamworld ,A paradise of Chocolate. It is here that Charlie realizes his wildest dreams and has the most fun of his life!!
This book is an excellent chronicle of the feelings that many children act upon each and everyday.This book has many dimensions of human nature instilled in it.
This book is a must read for everysingle person child or adult especially for those who like an inspiring tale of dreams and fantasies...
