I really wanted to love this as I had with the first book but it was not to be. The plot was just a hot mess with the elevator going too high and into space. The plot with the first space hotel was baffling and the narrator, whilst doing a great job with most of the voices, really started to annoy me when he was doing the president and his aides.
It did settle back into something resembling a story half way through when they returned to the factory but by then I was finding it hard to really care too much.
Disappointing

an unfortunately often overlooked sequel to the Chocolate Factory... explores even more magical mysteries of the universe and imagination.

While this Wonka story definitely packs in some unique adventures (orbiting the earth in a glass elevator, alien interactions & minus land!) it’s not nearly as whimsical (or delicious
