Editorial Review: Product Description: The gates of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory are opening at last . . . and only five children will be allowed inside. Amazon.com Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, along with Roald Dahl's other tales for younger readers, make him a true star of children's literature. Dahl seems to know just how far to go with his oddball fantasies; in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, for example, nasty Violet Beauregarde blows up into a blueberry from sneaking forbidden chewing gum, and bratty Augustus Gloop is carried away on the river of chocolate he wouldn't resist. In fact, all manner of disasters can happen to the most obnoxiously deserving of children because Dahl portrays each incident with such resourcefulness and humor. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a singular delight, crammed with mad fantasy, childhood justice and revenge, and as much candy as you can eat. The book is also available in Spanish (Charlie y la Fabrica de Chocolate). (The suggested age range for this book is 9-12, but nobody this reviewer has met can resist it, including New York City bellhops, flight attendants, and grumpy teenagers.) Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A great book!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 ...

Read More: Rating:  - From man that doesn't like childrenDahl is a misogynistic creep who was probably abused as a child. Hurting children is NOT funny. Roald Dahl, and most British childrens' book authors, love to write stories about tormented, punished, starving, suffering children. I don't think British people like children, period. Just read David Copperfield or Oliver Twist by Dickens, any Harry Potter book, Alice in Wonderland among others. British children freeze and are chronically abused until they one day discover a "magical world" where it's warm, ...

I like the little boy Charlie very much and like most children, he is full of curiosity. He is also obedient for he listens to his parents, Mr and Mrs Bucket, and his very old grandparents. His family is poor and the seven of them live in a tiny, worn-down house. It is heartbreaking reading his family situation. One day, Mr Willy Wonka, a well-known chocolate maker who was missing ...
