Roald Dahl's imagination man.. I listen this through my walk with the dogs and I couldn't find the answer for one question : Is the author crazy or extremely extraordinary

At my very young age, the first book I read of Roald Dahl was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I always love reading fantasy books, but this was something special. People wish for Hogwarts Express ticket, and I wished for Willy Wonka's golden ticket. I badly wanted to be a part of Charlie Bucket's journey to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, as I am always a crazy chocolate lover like Charlie. This book was very engaging, but the ending was the best part of the entire story.

This is one book I wish I'd read as a kid, because there are things in it that, as an adult reading it for the first time, I just can't get past. It's the whole Oompa Loompa story line. It's just so wrong on every level!

I can find no fault with this book. It's whimsical, fun, challenging, and has a point. Good read for any kid.

I loved this book as a kid. I read it with my second grade class, and they enjoyed it enough but I don’t think I will read it again. It was long and I had to edit as I went a lot for talk about shooting guns and fat phobic comments. the first third was long and kids were not into it until we got to the factory.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a classic children's book.
