Can’t believe I was never read this when I was a child! I’ll be diving into his other books soon. 

My 6 year old was not as into this book as Matilda and it had lots of unnecessary fat-phobic language. The movie is better.

It was an entertaining and fun read. I've always loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory film, and it's just nice to see that Tim Burton's film stayed true to the book about 80%. Both Wonkas are definitely slightly unsettlingly creepy, but that's exactly what makes this book so good.
