Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Book Review




Because I am a fan of Roald Dahl, I decided to read another book that he wrote. I had seen the 1971 movie version titled Willy wonka and the Chocolate factory, then the 2005 version starring Johnny Depp.
There were some differences, but in the book there is a young boy named Charlie Bucket, who lives in a small cottage with six family members, his grandparents from both sides and his parents. Charlie is very poor and every year as his birthday gift he gets a small bar of chocolate. He nibbles on it for a long time until he couldn’t help himself and shoves it all in his mouth.
One day he sits on his grandparent’s bed and turned on the radio. He hears that Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory is going to be reopened after many years. He also hears that there would be five lucky kids who would be able to go in if they find the golden ticket in their chocolate bar.
The next morning he sits down on his grandparent’s warm bed and once again turned on the radio. “Agustus Gloop is the first kid to find the first golden ticket"said a voice very firmly. Charlie gets very anxious at the news he had just heard. He wants to find one of the tickets. Every day one new kid finds a ticket until there is only one left.
As Charlie is walking home from school, he finds a dollar in the gutter. Charlie already knows what he was going to do with it. He rushes into the chocolate store and buys one of Wonka’s chocolate bars and quickly opens it thinking he would come across a golden ticket. He sure did find the last ticket. People are trying to give him money for the ticket but Charlie keeps the ticket for himself.
Charlie rushes home, quickly opens the door and yells, “I have the last ticket I have it.” All of a sudden, Grandpa Joe jumped out of bed and begsto go with him.
The day of the opening, they all wonder around the factory and see things they have never seen before: square candies that look round, chocolate rivers and a fizzy lifting drinks. I can tell you more but let’s move on.
Every child get themselves into trouble and has to get help from the oompa loompas. Had I not told you who they are? They are Mr. Wonka’s workers.
Since Charlie has not gotten in trouble Mr. Wonka lets him and his family live in the factory.


They had a year supply of chocolate, and Charlie is now the owner of the chocolate factory.
