A review by madmadmaddymad
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl

funny lighthearted fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I liked it as much as chocolate but
Oompa Loompa’s rhyme kind of lazily 
And towards the end - their songs become tedious 
If you like songs - it might make you crazy 

Heartwarming, sort of, we all know the story 
Willy Wonka has the ability to make me feel like a child  
There’s candy and whimsy and lessons about love and kindness 
Thank you Roald Dahl for a book that’s both worthwhile and wild
