A review by emmareadstoomuch
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl
2.0
who the hell told roald dahl the thing we liked from charlie and the chocolate factory was...the elevator?
like, here is a definitive ranking for me, personally, of everything i liked in order:
- the sweets (obviously)
- orange guys singing mean songs about children
- someone turning into a blueberry, as a concept
- the idea that a chocolate bar could be life-changing (this was a great life lesson)
- wallpaper you can lick (now this gives me the heebie-jeebies, but then it seemed rad)
- swimming in chocolate (ditto the above statement)
- permission to spend my old age living in a bed with my husband and my kid's spouse's parents (the dream, i guess, at least the lazy part)
notice that nowhere in that list is "whimsical ways to get from one floor of a building to another."
whatever. everything about this book is a disappointment, so at least the title makes that clear upfront.
