Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Ian Fleming
3.0
3/5 stars.
I won't be writing a full review for this one. I loved the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie adaptation with Dick Van Dyke when I was little... Even though I don't remember all the details of the movie and it has been at least 20 years since I last saw it, I was curious to see what the original story was like. I'm not sure if my memory completely failed me, but this definitely wasn't what I remembered of the movie, and I wasn't all that impressed by what I found to be honest... I felt the spark the movie had was missing, and the plot and writing style just didn't do it for me. The illustrations were a nice touch though! But mostly this book made me want to watch the movie again and experience its magic instead of continuing with the rest of the books.
