Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Customer reviews:

A great book!, 2008-10-21
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl is about Charlie, a generous boy whose family is very poor. Charlie hopes to win admission to Wonka's fabulous chocolate factory which is finally open for five people. I enjoy how Road Dahl describes imaginary characters and the interesting machines in the factory. At the factory, Charlie meets four other children who all have one thing in common: they all represent naughty children in one way or another. The other children can be described as sassy or obsessed or bulging or lazy. They are all extremely unhelpful, and they expect other people to do all the work for them. Charlie is different. He is helpful, and he works hard to make his family happy. I think that there should be scene that shows Charlie making a good choice in the factory instead of just standing there watching the other kids make bad choices. I think that the book is good for readers in second to seventh grades because it is a complicated story with exciting and unpredictable characters. I liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so much that I chose to read the sequel!
