One of my favourite childhood stories

Roald Dahl is such a good author and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of my favourite books growing up. This book tells the tale of Charlie Bucket a boy that comes from a poor background. When announced that there are five golden tickets hidden in chocolate bars all over the world. With a coin, Charlie buys a bar of chocolate and finds the last golden ticket. With this once in a life time opportunity to go to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, Charlie takes his Grandpa Joe. This book tells the tale of Charlie's adventures in the chocolate factory.

Great children’s book

I really enjoyed reading this book as a kid. It was a good read for me. I also watched the movie as well, which I thought was a great depiction of what’s in the book.

Light read

This book is wonderful for children and also a really cute and light read for adults. This was a book I read when I was younger and I always enjoyed it. I love the details and writing style of Roald Dahl. He is a wonderful author and has a great imagination! His books are easy to read and full of great characters. I also love how children can read the book first and then watch the movie.

27 years old and this is still a favourite!!

Such a classic! Never really understood it as a kid, but since I'm older, it's really surprising what kind of themes the author slipped into the book (kind of dark!). Despite this, my imagination still goes wild reading this book! I would recommend this to young and old!

Classic Tale of Charlie Bucket

I remembering reading almost all of Roald Dahl's books as a pre-teen. This was one of my favorites, along with The Twits.

This is the story of a young boy named Charlie Bucket whose family is extremely poor. He finds a golden ticket in his candy bar, which allows him and a guest (he chooses his Grandpa Joe) to enter Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The book explores what happens in the chocolate factory, using a lot of humor. This is a book I will read to my children. It is a classic.

An imaginative story of a poor young boy named Charlie Bucket who is lucky enough to find a winning golden ticket in his chocolate bar that allows him and a guest to enter Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory with a chance of winning a lifetime supply of chocolate. Along the way Charlie learns life lessons and you see just how selfless a young boy can be. This is definitely a timeless story that teaches morals and one I will most definitely read to my daughter's when they are older? It's hard to believe this book has been around since the sixties and still going strong.

this has been one of my favorite authors in the whole world .
when i was younger i read all of his books and this one was one of my favortes, as an adult i still have it

This book was huge when it first came out. I used to check it out of the library all of the time. Then the movie came out. I used to dream about the chocolate factory and flying in the elevator. I still look at the movie whenever I catch it on television.

As a candy lover, this book helped me discover my love for Roald Dahl. His imaginative ways envelop readers young and old alike in a real life candy land.

Such a classic my favorite as a little girl cant wait to read this to my son once hes old enough.
