Stands up! Great for a 6 year old’s first long chapter book :)

A childhood memory!

I love this version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It has very vivid descriptions of what the narrator is experiencing and has a very rich vocabulary. I would reccomend this book to fifth grade through seventh grade. It is a decently sized chapter book and is a good confidence builder for readers who are just beginning to explore chapter books. It also has valuable lessons and very heart-warming scenes throughout the story.

Charlie and the chocolate factory is a wonderful book for children that like books that have super suprises.There are some accidents and some people get lost in this amazing adventure by awesome author,Roald Dahl.

A book you’ll reread with the family and by yourself regularly! It never gets old. Better than the movie, even!

They are making to many filmsss

Although the movie has been released already, I took time to read the scripted version used for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, transmitted by Richard R. George, story by Roald Dahl.

The story starts off with a poor bloke, which whom is named Charlie Bucket. Charlie has an obsession of being kind. He lives with his mother and father, along with his four grandparents. As you can tell it's a tight squeeze. Charlie wins a golden ticket to a mysterious chocolate factory.

Does he go alone? No. In fact, George (his mother's father) is able to attend the magical tour with him. In this story you meet wild characters, like the obese Augustus Gloop, witty Mike Teevee, sweetheart Verruca Salt, deceiving Violet Beauregard, and the loony Willy Wonka. Odd sets are used in the play, along with brilliant dialogue.

Reading this was the highlight of my script reading week. The pace was bearable and the dialogue was fun. I understand that Richard R. George did not write the actual story, but he did a good job on translating it to what it’s become. My favorite part was when Violet turned into a blueberry. I could imagine how that would have played out in a live performance. The Oompa Loopa’s were great. They only came out when some terrible event occurred with one of the children, other than that they remained in the background. Willy made a great chaperon, and is just a great character in general. To me, he comes off a bit insane.

What sets this apart from the actual book is the way it's written; formatted without poetic narration. This script read was indeed good, but it had its cons. To be honest, I felt like it was way too short. I’m not much of a book reader, but I know enough that it should at least have been fifty pages longer, minimum. Also, what’s with the parents? In my opinion, they should be a big part of the story. Their characters feel dead, it’s like a talking zombie following the weirdest kid ever. These children are abnormal, yet they come from depressed, non active parents? That makes sense. Now, I’ve read the actual book and seen both movies too. All of them are approached differently. The scripted writing lets you approach it in any way you want, and that’s what I love most. I felt as if I was on the tour with them, is that weird to say?

All in all, I enjoyed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I recommend you check out the scripted version. I’m looking forward to expanding my imagination through literature. I’m Zack Oliver, you have a nice day.
