The movie was my favorite growing up, but I wasn’t much of a reader back then. Glad to read the original story! Very similar, but some things were very different, especially the Oompa Loompa songs! Oh my… it was also nice to hear a bit more about Charlie and his family, and how truly dire the situation was for them. It makes the outcome even sweeter (pun intended). 
Favorite quote: “They’ll all come out in the wash, you know; every one of them.”

i reread this purely bc my friends told me i’m veruca salt and i wanted to verify
the result of my findings is that they’re very correct

3,5/5*

A bit over the top at times but overall a really cute and heart-warming children's story!
