I am a grate fan of Charlie and the chocolate factory; I have been ever since the age of 5.
This magical story has been written by one of my favourite authors (Roald Dahl), it is about a young adventurous boy named Charlie who is given the opportunity to vist a chocolate factory owned by a man called Mr Wonker.
Charlie had won this opportunity from a chocolate bar with a lucky ticket inside it for the trip to the Factory. Charlie was absolutely delighted when he had found the winning ticket inside the chocolate bar and felt very, very lucky to actually come so close to it. As there where only a few of these tickets around. Fortunately Charlie was one of the people to come so close and to win the ticket and also this ticket was the only one left to be won around.
As the ticket said that a person could go along with the winner Charlie decided to take along his granddad. Before all of the places were taken up for the winning trip to the chocolate factory, people were going mad buying the chocolate to see if they had a winning ticket, this was mainly the kids.
The Chocolate factory hadn’t been opened for years; it was very rare to see anyone come in or out of the factory. The only thing that was common was the smoke that came out of the big, tall and long chimneys. This is what people came more suspicious about and very interested about, this made Charlie even more excited though!
… At the Chocolate factory, Charlie meets lots of new people, not all of them nice, but he does have a wicked time with his granddad. In the end the story has a happy ending.
If you want to find how it ended READ THE BOOK! It is highly recommended.
The pictures in this book are amazingly drawn, its interesting that Quentin Blake (the illustrator) has drawn characters that are very different from the way I had imagined them to look.
The cover of the book is blended with lots of different colours which make someone want to pick it up as it is bright colourful and also appealing which makes people wanting to read it non stop without putting the book down again.
I have come across two different covers so far. In one of the covers it has a golden plated title and the ticket, which is also gold, plated so it stands out well. The other cover is just a basic one with some of the characters; a cool font title and the whole front cover colourful which also look great.
I would recommend this book to people of all ages, from a very young age up into elderly age.
I have read this book lots and lots of times because its so good! (I think personally)
So far when my mates have had there birthdays, guess wot.... YES! I each gave them a Charlie and the chocolate factory book as I really do think they would also love the book just like me!
Overall I would NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THIS BOOK. I would rate this book 5 out of 5 easily.
Thanks for reading my review and remember to rate it well. RAJIV1

I had a much older double edition put together with Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. It had a plain white colour background and simple line drawings of the main characters. But I didn't love it any less! Sharron xxx
