I thoroughly enjoyed n  'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 'n.. throughout the book there are lessons to be learned from the downfall of each child and the songs that the Oompa Loompas sing contain some very important morals.. and Oh, by the way, I would strongly recommend eating chocolate while reading it..

I personally didn't like n  'Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator'n all that much..

This book has so many lessons that I forgot life could be fantastic and tricky at the same time. An important reminder that we should be contented and settled with what we have played an imperative nudge so that we can avoid the trials life may be given us. But sometimes, we do risk, right? We should never stop growing and learning. Just be on the right path.

I liked this book. It had a lot of adventure.

I'm glad I waited to read this as an adult. I don't think a child can appreciate all the messages about class inequality and politicians

Anyone who knows me, knows I absolutely love both movie adaptations of Roald Dahl's wonderful Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It occurred to me a few months ago that this story was a book first before it became two movies. So I set out to find the book.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: 5/5. I love so much that both movies captured everything in the book. What one movie lacked, the other made up for. This is a brilliant story for the dreamers, the ones who think they have no hope or chance. This story gives you hope as you ride through the day with Charlie, feeling all his emotions along with him. I am extremely happy I read the book!

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator: 3.5/5. When I first started reading, I wondered why this hasnt been made into a movie, or if it has why I havent seen it. After finishing, I knew why. This kind of made me anxious. So much was going on, so many things that just seemed far more unbelievable than "Chocolate Factory." I couldn't stand either of the grandmothers. But I enjoyed watching Charlie take charge and learn. The Wonka-Vite was just creepy, so was Minusland. This story definitely didn't have the same whimiscal feeling as "Chocolate Factory" does. My review is just as chaotic as the story felt. Nevertheless, being in Charlie's and Wonka's world is what I love about "Chocolate Factory," so I held on to that and finished the story.

Imagine going to a chocolate factory all day long with a very "interesting" owner that has one or two tricks up his sleeve. Of course I am talking about "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". One of the best books in the world. This book is about a young poor boy named Charlie, duuuuuuuuuuuh, and his journey through Willy Wonkas Choclate Factory with a bunch of really spoiled kids that end up disappearing one by one. Follow Charlie through this tasty journey full of magic, singing Oompa Loompas, and Choclate waterfalls to the surprising reward at the end. Read to find out.

Fun to read. Read it to my son, he enjoyed it as well.

So this edition has both Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Great Glass Elevator. I found Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to be preferable to Glass Elevator, which for me had one too many Cold War references.

I just love the part about space aliens and where almost all the kids got kicked out of the the factory for not listening

Roald Dahl is just THAT good — he approaches tough subjects and lessons with a slapstick sort of humor that I did not get as a 9 year old but appreciate so much now. Definitely worth the read again now that I’m older, and definitely one I’m excited to pass down to my kids one day !!

As I remembered

This is one of the only times I'll say this but the movie was better than the book. This was one of Rhod Dhal's first books. I think the director of Charlie and the Chocolate factory was better than the book. I wouldn't read it.
