Wonka by Sibéal Pounder

i dont really have much to say with this one other than it felt like i was reading the movie script.
i knew it was based off of the film, but i didnt realise it would be word for word, action for action.
even though i love the movie, i didnt really need to read exactly what i watched.
i had the expectation that there wouldve been more added to the elements of the movie. for example, i thought we would get more of noodle teaching willy how to read, or more scenes with willy and the oompa loompa, or to see the friendship between the entire group develop more.
the only things added really were the actual details of the plan to break into the vault and some more details about noodles mum. other than that, nothing new.
i cant say i didnt like the book because i love the movie and theyre essentially the same. but i also gained nothing while reading this.
id suggest you either read the book or watch the movie. if you want to do both, read it first so you dont feel as indifferent as i do.
