biggiantloser 's review for:
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
by Roald Dahl
i can't believe how awful this book was. i always wondered why they never made a film out of the chocolate factory sequel but now having read it as an adult i completely understand.
honestly I don't even know if I can count this as a read book. i read the first few chapters, skimmed through the next eight or so until the space travel stuff was over, and they were back at the factory. then read almost to the end again before having to start skimming again because it was so boring and senseless.
I get that dahls books are generally senseless but this was just.... the first half particular was like reading some alternate universe fan fiction and then the second half was absolutely pointless and not at all what I wanted from the sequel. i wanted a book about charlie and his family learning all the other secrets of the factory, i wanted to see crazy inventions and shit.... not this.
