When Charlie Bucket finds himself the proud winner of a Golden Ticket in a chocolate bar, he knows he has the greatest treat in the world in store for him. Join Charlie on his fantastic world-famous adventures in Willy Wonka's miraculous chocolate factory, where he sees strawberry-juice water pistols, luminous lollipops, a chocolate river, and rainbow drops -- and has the time of his life. Performed by Eric Idle. Customer reviews: Charming, funny, happy, 2008-08-25 Illustrated by Quentin Blake
OK, so reading this after seeing the new movie, where Johnny Depp appears to channel Michael Jackson in one of the oddest performances ever on film, I must say that Johnny Depp actually captured the essence of Dahl's Wonka very closely.
Some of the things that I thought were added to the movie for special effects impacts (like the glass elevator crashing into Charlie's house) were actually direct from the book.
Dahl's story is much like the movie in sometimes reaching for oddity and coming up short, but it is charming, funning, and happy.
just right, 2008-08-13 it was just as advertised, in good shape and I was interested to read the original. There are some interesting differences from the original story and the original movie...
