Willy Wonka is a sassy king and we don’t give him enough credit for that 

A Roald Dahl favourite
adventurous funny lighthearted medium-paced

Reading this as an adult was really interesting. I've always loved the story and the imagination is lovely. But it was really strange to read it through the lens of someone whos read about child development and it seems like he didnt (or Wonka anyway) like kids. Or fat people. So that was sad and disappointing. For that it lost a star and its a 4/5.

An interesting cautionary/moral tale. But a bit twisted. Notoriously so, I'd say.
