  4. Book Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

    My eleven-year-old daughter read it before me, and she liked it a lot too. The characters and situations are often over the top, which certainly adds to the fantastic feel that the factory and Wonka's inventions provide.

  5. Book Review: "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl

  11. Book Review: "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl (1964)

    This book is such an enjoyable trip that gleefully punishes the brats we all know (and the parents who've helped create them to be what they are): the screen addicts, the carelessly obese, the selfish screamers, and the greedy egoists. Only Charlie Bucket is a kind and loveable soul, and in that there exists the nut of the book's lesson.
