Summary: Charlie and the Chococalate Factory
Review: I think that this was a good book because it was very funny and it showed how to become a poor, unhealthy person to a good, healthy person with lots of chocilate. I think that this would be a good book for little kids because it is very funny and if they like funny books and mysterious books about weird people doing weird things they would like this book a whole lot.

Summary: The Best Children's Book Ever -- Scrumdiddlyumptious!
Review: This book ignited my love of reading when my second-grade teacher read it to the class over the course of a month in the middle of the day, a chapter or two at a time...I looked forward to going to school every day just so I could hear the next chapter. After it was over, I had to get my own copy, which I did -- and promptly wore it out and had to buy another. I think I have read it something like 30 times, and the story has capYou know the story -- about a poor kid in a poor family who has to eat cabbage soup every day, who loves chocolate but can not afford it. One day, however, the most magical thing ever happens to him -- he wins one of the five golden tickets to the nearby Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory. This is a wonderful book in so many ways, but especially in modern American suburbs where children often grow up spoiled with riches. This book shows them that, yes, some children grow up too poor for chocolate bars, and also shows them how loathesome spoiled children of various types are. There is the obnoxious bubble gum chewer, the TV-obsessed kid and the glutton.
Willy Wonka teaches each of them -- and the reader -- a valuable lesson. On top of that, it is such a fun story -- with amazing candies that will delight children of all ages (including their parents). Every child should read this book, or have it read to them. It is absolutely the best children's book ever written. I can give it no higher recommendation.

Summary: CRUEL, BUT FUN
Review: If you haven't read this book, where have you been??? The story is like the perfect childhood fantasy -- visiting a chocolate factory and seeing all the cool inventions!! Willy Wonka is a bizarre character who hides out in his factory, inventing candy with the help of Oompa Loompas (who only seem to show up when a naughty child is about to get into trouble!). It's a great book, and it teaches valuable lessons about greed. Charlie is a good kid who follows directions. The other children on the tour get themselves into trouble by not listening to Wonka's instructions. They're punished in strange and surreal ways, and we really don't know whether they live to tell the tale. That's why I'm giving this book 4 stars, not 5. I find it to be a little cruel, and I think Wonka is kind of sadistic toward children. For example, he shows everybody his brand new chewing gum invention that tastes like a 3-course dinner. Despite Wonka's warnings that it's not quite ready yet, a girl named Violet (who is famous for loving to chew gum!) grabs the gum and starts chewing it. When she tastes blueberry pie, her body turns blue. Before she knows what's happening to her and before she can spit it out, she starts blowing up and turning into a blueberry. While the poor girl is screaming helplessly, the Oompa Loompas surround her and start rolling her around the Inventing Room singing a song!! All of this struck me as a little mean. Wonka never tells Violet that she'll turn into a blueberry if she keeps chewing. All he says is it isn't ready yet. And the Loompas don't seem terribly worried about juicing her. They're joyfully rolling her around and singing about how naughty she is! Instead of learning any kind of lesson from Violet's "situation," I just ended up feeling sorry for her.

Summary: The worst book that I have ever read
Review: In third grade my teacher made us read this book and then made us watch the movie. That was the suppidest, lamest, dumbest, worst book that I have ever read and the worst movie that I have ever seen. Since, then I have been forced many times by teachers to watch that horrible movie. I don't know what Ronald Dahl was thinking when he wrote that horrid book. Or why anyone would want to make it into a movie. I happen to like all of the other books that I have read by Ronald Dahl, especially Matilda and the Witches.(And their movies) But, not that book. In conclusion, I HATE CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY! And I give it a ZERO, 0 for a rating. ZIP, ZERO, Zilch! Not even one star, like I had to put because zero wasn't a choice.

Summary: A wonderful book that shows Dahl mastering his skill
Review: This Roald Dahl book is merely his second major published work for children. Despite this, he manages to show the world that he has the skills necessary for writing children's books after a successful stint as an adult writer. The book is a delight from first to last, and is a real page-turner with twists and turns on every page. In addition, the pace and excitement are well-maintained and a keen sense of cohesion deeply felt. The story begins quite slowly and normally in introducing our hero Charlie, but it picks up a little earn about Wonka's chocolate factory, and meet the interesting, winsome and informative Grandpa Joe. It is when the Golden Tickets are announced then we are in for a real surprise. We end up rooting for Charlie to find one, following him on his adventures, and letting the unexpected surprises in the factory enthrall us as much as Charlie did. At the same time, we end up laughing at the four naughty children who find the other Golden Tickets, yet learn the vices of good behaviour at the same time. The results are often hilariously funny, and their exploits act as a kind of cautionary tale that shows the children's love of sweet things at the same time as they possess their youthful heart. Overall, this is a wonderfully written book that serves as one of the best introductions to Dahl's children's writing. It is still an enjoyable read for me despite the fact that I am still a teenager, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is starting to read.

Summary: How can one ignore this book
Review: I read this book because the lybrarian suggested it. I loved it! I liked the part when Veruca got thrown down the garbage chute. Little greedy thing she was I feel a bit sorry for her. I suggest this to people who love chocolate and want to hear about a world of it!

Summary: The Chocolate World
Review: This is a good book for kids under the age of 12. Charlie is chosen with five other people to go to the Chocolate Factory. He had always waited outside and smelled the chocolate. He doesn't know what mysterys are hidden behind the gate of the chocolate factory.
