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.

Pre-read review:
I recently took on a book challenge to re-read a book I loved as a child. Right away, this book came to mind as my first choice. Now, as I read it again, I'm curious to see if I'll love it as much as I did back then or if my feelings will change. Either way, this book means a lot to me because it was a big part of my childhood.
I have my lovely sister to thank for that. Every day after coming home from university, she would read this book to me because my English wasn't very good back then. Her patience and the memories we shared made this book special. As I re-read it now, I remember both the story and the love my sister showed me by reading it to me.
