Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I love this book. If I need to name a book that changed me most, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory must be the one. (Hmm.... one of the "most") Why?

This is the very book that brought me into the world of English book. I still remebered how 'we' met: I was wandering in the library and passed by the English section, there it was, lying at the corner of a bookshelf.

The cover strucked me, may be it was the book's name, may be it was the cute drawing, and I borrowed it and just love it. I love Charlie, he was poor but happy. I love Willy Wonka, he was so nice and so adorable. Then I went for the second book "Charlie and the Glass Elevator"... and went on and on and read a lot of English book since then.   hide

I read this novel in my seventh standard and being a chocolate freak I didn’t just liked the work of Roald Dahl but absolutely loved it. Roald Dahl has successfully captured all the dreams, imagination and fantasies of childrens, which they possess in early childhood. Story absolutely marvels and stuns the readers at suspense full twist and turns and readers find themselves absolutely glued to book particularly when Charlie’s visit to Mr. Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and event leading him to win the world most best and top ranked chocolate factory run by an unknown specie to the world (Omapa lompas). This book is definitely worth reading for young childrens who not just dream being into fantasy world in nite but also love craving all kind of sweet chocolate during the day.   hide

Charlie's journey from a pauper to the owner of the world's best chocolate factory is what every child dreams of (at least the children of my generation, I think). One of my all time favorite books from childhood, every time I read this book I felt an irresistible urge to unwrap a silky chocolate bar and let it satiate all my senses.

like this book

This book was alright, but that was jut it, it wasn't particularly good or bad. I think the movie is better.

I have watched the movie and for the book, you sure do need to read to change your thoughtware. G.O
