Summary: The books live up, the packaging needs help
Review: I bought these for my daughter, they were the first real book I'd ever read and I wanted her to have a nice hardcover set. Well, the set is nice, the stories are classic (... that horrible film) but the "box" this box set comes in is wimpy and hardly collectable Mine came smashed, looks like ... Don't order this perticular set if you want astetics.

Summary: Still love this set
Review: There are few books I actually WANT to pick up and read again just for the heck of it, and in this package you actually get 2! Many people have never even heard of the Great Glass Elevator, so this is a great way to expose them to it. I must have read each of these books a dozen times over the years and I never tire of them. As I grow older I am also seeing more and reading more into them then I ever noticed before, making each read more interesting than the next. Of course, if you plan on reading Chocolate Factory, be sure to have plenty of choclates around, you can't hardly help yourself.

Review: When I received my box set --my eyes nearly burst from the sockets. These books are absolutely PERFECT! A must have for Roald Dahl fans -for sure. You have not experienced the Chocolate Factory until you have READ the book. For those that seem to thrive off the movie (and I love the movie, don't get me wrong) but the book -ahh, now you are going to get into the sinister mind of Dahl through these pages of delights. The character and their punishments are just a little more .....well, you be the judge and read the book! Let's just say, Dahl is quite brutal but poetically just. Charlie and the Glass Elevator is a bonus in this set!! I highly encourage book lovers and Dahl fans alike to get this set --you will only find yourself as a child again enjoying the mystery and magic of Charlie's sweet adventure. These scrumptious delights will entertain even adults. If you haven't read "Matilda" (which I classify Dahl's best work) you have truly deprived yourself. "The Witches" another of Dahl's handwork. These are only the icing on the cake of his works! (the books are TOP quality and well worth the price -and then some)
