Charlie and the Chocolate Factory showed me the wondrous journey of candy. It showed me fun and adventure. It made me think that the kid went from poor to the magical place in the world and he won the chocolate. I loved the book cause it shows a poor kid living with his whole family turning into a boy who got the famous ticket for the Chocolate factory.

-I decided to read this book because I have watched the movie and I enjoyed it.
-The category on the bingo board that this book completes is a play.
-What I liked about this book was the imaginative descriptions. I loved all of the vivid descriptions of the different rooms in Willy Wonka's factory and the characters. I liked the way that the author created unique personalities for the different characters.
-What I didn't like about the play was the way that the author wrote song lyrics for the Oompa Loompas to sing when they could have just said some lines.
-I would recommend this book to people of all ages ranging from 5 to 100. This book was an enjoyable read because it talks about a factory that makes sweets etc that have never been created before and there are unique characters. I'm sure that anyone who read it would enjoy it as much as I did.

A classical legend. One of the best books I have ever read, In fact one the best not only for me but other readers as well. I doubt this books ratings will ever go below 4.5 or maximum 4.0. Seriously this book is that good.The story and the characters both will grasp you till the very end of the book and you can't even say no. First this book was planned to be written in such a plot were there was no trace of children. I wonder what the story would have been then. But in the end the story revolves around the children and the children (in the book) are those who made it a hit. I recommend it to all the readers out there. If you don' read this book then you have certainly missed out something so please read this book if you want to enjoy a funny, intriguing, classic book. In the end I would like to tell you that it is a gem stone in the world of storybooks and it will be never forgotten. I really can't stop praising the book but I won't take your more time so go and start reading this and getting intrigued for 192 pages

I loved the book and it was very exciting to read

It's a very pretty story. The way Roald Dalh writes the story is very realistic and true I loved this book very much.

Charlie gets the last ticket to go to wonka's factory and he runs home to tell everyone. He took his grandpa with him. Charlie lives in a very poor house, but Charlie was the only one that got all the way round the factory. Willy wonka was getting old so he give the chocolate factory to Charlie and his family to run.

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, the inspiration for Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder and later on, the motion picture with the outré, controversial Johnny Depp http://realini.blogspot.com/2019/10/c...

The mesmerizing Memoirs http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/12/m... of the Magister Ludi Kingsley Amis are cathartic - the reader is enraptured by the magnum opera of this King of Comedy –and they offer insight into some very interesting personalities, men and women of letters, but not only, we read about John Cleese being the most insecure comedian (and Sir Kingsley Amis speculates that maybe there is good reason), the meeting with Peter Sellers, Groucho Marx being the least amusing comic, and so on, the episode with Margaret Thatcher is just one of the multitude of delights, the august Anthony Powell, Evelyn Waugh and other luminaries are in the pages

However, there are peculiar, awkward or even outright outrageous appearances, such as Francis Bacon (was he the protagonist, I wonder, and this should normally have to be edited out, deleted, but then who is reading it, so that we pay attention) who came to see the Magister Ludi in Wales, and then showed him some pornographic, gay material (unless, again, I am awfully mistaken, and the memory plays tricks, which is it does these days…what was I talking about anyway) intending to test the waters, maybe…
Speaking of which, there is another (oh, they are so many actually) passage, where the author meets with a foreigner (was he) and the latter is somehow disturbed, unhappy with the language used by some ‘poofters’, and when our Godhead tries to explain, or just indicate that this homophobe is wrong (the intentions are not clear to yours truly, but then the Godhead was such a sage fellow) the fool immediately (or belatedly) considered that Kingsley Amis was just one of them, and thus defending his own

Since I mentioned the Godhead and I am clearly not about to write something on the subject of the note (what was it, do you remember) not yet, if ever, let me tell you about another Absolute Giant, the Hermes of literature-(let us just go with that, and praise the ancient Greeks for their decision to enlist quite a number of celestials, so that we could assign in jest Hermes to Anthony Powell, maybe Athena to Flannery O’Connor http://realini.blogspot.com/2014/03/j...
'The Essence of the All is the Godhead of the True* Anthony Powell says in his glorious, divine A Dance to The Music of Time http://realini.blogspot.com/2013/08/t... he may have mentioned to the Godhead of Literature that maybe ‘in vino veritas’, but clearly there is truth in writing, speaking of the idea that writers put the truth in their oeuvres, even if it is not an autobiography, we are dealing with fiction, the author is present on every page, with his experiences…

Let us see if we can dignify Roald Dahl with some words, for he has been in the ‘news’ lately –‘Words Including 'Fat,' 'Ugly,' 'Crazy,' Removed From Roald Dahl’s books, says one title, while one from The Guardian spells ‘Roald Dahl’s mean and nasty books don’t deserve all this attention’…Chris Townsend, Anthony Lawton and others weigh in on the decision to edit the author’s books to make them less offensive to a modern audience’ https://www.theguardian.com/books/202...
With the caveat that this is from memory (and let me just do some silly, preposterous mea cuipa, flavored with an attempt to be jestful – if I have read so many books, maybe around 3,000 by now, how could anyone expect me to remember much from one, or any in particular) what I recall is that The Godhead was at a party or event, where Roald Dahl comes in a…helicopter, the mean individual was quite, or very wealthy by now

And he tells our King of Comedy that he should write children’s books, because the buggers take them in no matter what, or words to that effect, implying a clear contempt for the readers and a character that was vile (if that is true, and this recollection is not just some made up concoction, misremembered and invented notions mixed together)…Contempt is incidentally one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work http://realini.blogspot.com/2015/07/t... by John Gottman is a quintessential read, the author is the Ultimate Expert ion relationships, he has an accuracy rate of over ninety percent in his assessments, he is even able to tell what couples stay together and which ones will split when entering a restaurant and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are Contempt, Criticism, Stonewalling and Defensiveness…the latter is a form of criticism

To move from one notion to another, and evidently as far away from the loathsome (if this is true) Roald Dahl let us say here that the one some say is the most influential psychologist of our time, Malcolm Gladwell uses the fast and correct verdict given by John Gottman as evidence in his monumental Blink The Power of Thinking Without Thinking http://realini.blogspot.com/2013/05/b... which argues that in seconds we take decisions, form opinions and experiments prove that the same take that participants in tests have on a two second video, without sound, belongs to students who attend the lectures of the man in the video for a semester – we could not say that two seconds equals some months, but hey, let us think of Albert Einstein “When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute…But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute — and it's longer than any hour…That's relativity…to conclude- is Dahl worth it, lo beseder, if you ask me

Now for a question, and invitation – maybe you have a good idea on how we could make more than a million dollars with this http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/u... – as it is, this is a unique technique, which we could promote, sell, open the Oscars show with or something and then make lots of money together, if you have the how, I have the product, I just do not know how to get the befits from it, other than the exercise per se

As for my role in the Revolution that killed Ceausescu, a smaller Mao, there it is http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/r...

I love this book! For children, the main message is very clear in the story: good children are rewarded for their deeds and acts and bad children are not.

The book Charlie and the Chocolate factory is an American classic that should bring joy to anyone that reads the story. My belief is that the author purpose of writing this book is to express his creative imagination. Also the author's purpose was to spark interest in the reader's mind. The book leaves an impression on the audience with great story telling skills. Also it reminds readers of their childhood that leaves a lasting value of the book. The book is a good read.
The book is also really well written for people who have descent vocabulary. An example of this would be “Mr. Wonka: "Don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he wanted."
Charlie Bucket: "What happened?"
Mr. Wonka: "He lived happily ever after.”
― Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The book was very captivating and the characters are very relatable. The Character that related to me the most was Grandpa Joe. Grandpa Joe reminds me a lot of myself and how I act. This book is very funny but has it's dramatic moments.
The greatest strength of the book is the way its was written. An example of that would be Whipped cream isn't whipped cream at all if it hasn't been whipped with whips, just like poached eggs isn't poached eggs unless it's been stolen in the dead of the night.”
― Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Their is no major weakness of the book or if any. I believe that this book near flawless. I would recommend this book to a friend because it's a classic. Charlie and the chocolate factory is a great book.

I read this play with my son, who has since he was a toddler been obsessed with Roald Dahl's stories, none so much as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's easy to see the appeal of the work for children (and adults), it's a dream come true with moral lessons not unlike one would find in Aesop's Fables, and with a good deal of humor. My son has read and watched the musicals (West End and Broadway), has seen the 1971 film and the Tim Burton version countless times, and has read the original text at least three or four times. So when I found this little book online, I thought I would get it for him for his birthday. We read it together, each acting out parts, but I couldn't get over how bad the writing was when the lines weren't lifted directly from Dahl's text. The work was also filled with contradictions, which both my son and I noticed, though he was more forgiving of them than I. The most puzzling thing of all for me was that the work earned the praise of Roald Dahl himself, and I couldn't help but ask myself, 'Did he read the same play that I did?'
