My Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (book review)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Book review

“Charlie and chocolate factory”. This is one of my favorite books. The reason being the way that Roald Dahl wrote the book. It felt like I was in the story, (lots of adjectives that made me imagine the scene) among the characters. And all those ridiculous ideas of marshmallow pillows, lockable wall paper, ice cream that never melts, all these were ideas that I would have not thought. So some of the big high lights for me in the book were, the chewing gum that had a full course dinner!!, and a huge chocolate river falling from a huge water fall. Also the idea of teleportation of chocolate into a TV, which is really awesome. I am the type guy who would really love a chocolate bar right out of The TV. My favorite character in the book is little Charlie. He is a very nice and humble kid who never thinks about himself and cares about other people.  

So, the basic story line is that, Mr. Wonka, the great chocolate maker in history decides to put five golden tickets in his ordinary chocolate bars underneath the wrapping (and his chocolates are shipped all around the world). Who ever found the ticket would have a life time supply of chocolates for their life and be allowed to be toured by Willy Wonka around his factory (the great deal about the factory is that no one knows how the factory works. Nobody has seen any workers go in or out for a long time and still the factory is supplying chocolate). After the five golden tickets were found by five lucky children they read the ticket and it said that they would have to be at the gate of the factory on February the first………. Then when the day arrived, all the children that found the golden tickets were lined up in front of the huge factory with their mothers and fathers. Then the gates opened and they walked in. After meeting Mr. Wonka, the group went to different places in the factory that had lot of fascinating things but all the naughty children that did not have patience or wanted something that they saw or had hideous chewing gum habits got them into trouble. For example, one fell in the chocolate river because they were leaning too far trying to drink the chocolate and one ate a special chewing gum that was a full course dinner that Mr. Wonka showed, but he warned that when the taste turned in to blueberry flavor something really bad would happen. Then the girl ignored Mr. Wonka and ate the chewing gum and turned into a huge plump blueberry.

So, in all, I think that the book is very funny and creative. I recommend not only to youngsters but to all ages.
