Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

Gifted to my son, he is very happy!

My son really liked it

In my opinion, this is a great book because there's lots of excitement in it, especially in the part with Grandpa Joe where "He threw up his arms and yelled ‘Yippeeeeeeee!'" I love how all the characters have different personalities that make them stand out, like Violet Beauregarde's ferociousness and August Gloop's carefree attitude. I would personally recommend it to other people because it's enjoyable for all age groups as it's not too juvenile or too complicated.

a good story but papaer not that good

I received this book in very well condition. The quality of pages are very good. Amazon made me happy and received my order 3 days in advance.

„Ich, Willy Wonka, habe beschlossen fünf Kindern die Möglichkeit zu geben, dieses Jahr meine Fabrik zu besuchen." - so lautet die Titelschlagzeile des Evening Bulletin. Als diese Nachricht die Runde macht, macht sich die halbe Welt auf die Suche nach den fünf goldenen Tickets, die diesen Besuch ermöglichen. Vier Gewinner sind schnell gefunden: der übergewichtige Augustus, die verzogene Veruca, die Kaugummi-kauende Violet und der Fernsehjunkie Mike. Auch Charlie Bucket, ein junge aus einfachen Verhältnissen, hoffte auf ein Ticket. Und tatsächlich meint es das Schicksal gut mit ihm uns er findet das letzte Ticket und kann mit Grandpa Joe die verrückte Schokoladenfabrik besuchen. Viele kennen sicherlich die Buchverfilmung mit Johnny Depp - so auch ich und ich gebe zu ich bin nicht der größte Fan dieser Verfilmung. Nachdem ich nun "Matilda" von Dahl gelesen hatte und ganz begeistert war, dachte ich, man könnte sich auch dieses Buch einmal vornehmen. Und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Das Buch übertrifft die Verfilmung bei Weitem und es lohnt sich das Buch im Original zu lesen. Dahl hat ein wunderbares, fantasievolles Kinderbuch mit ausgefeilten, liebenswerten Charakteren geschaffen. Und einmal mehr schafft er es moderne Freizeitbeschäftigungen und Wertvorstellungen in Frage zu stellen, die hier als Veruca, Violet, Mike und Augustus daherkommen. Besonders der hinreißende Appell gegen das Fernsehen und für das Lesen hat mir gefallen. Daher gebe ich volle fünf Sterne! Fazit: Ein lohnenswertes Buch, das die Verfilmung weit in den Schatten stellt. ---------------------------------------- „I, Willy Wonka, have decided to allow five children [...] to visit my factory this year.“ – that’s the main headline of the Evening Bulletin. As the news spread around the world, nearly everybody is in search of the golden tickets, which guarantee the win. Four winners are found very quickly: the overweight Augustus, the spoiled Veruca, the chewing-gum-chewing Violet and the TV-junkie Mike. Charlie Bucket, a poor boy, hopes for another ticket. And luckily he gets the last one. So he can visit Wonkas chocolate factory with his grandpa Joe. A lot of people might know the movie with Johnny Depp – so do I and actually I’m not a huge fan of that movie. Having read „Matilda“ by Dahl, I was curious about this book and so I read it. And I don’t regret it. The book is much better than the movie. Dahl has written a wonderful, fantastic childrens book with lovely characters. Once more he questiones modern leisure time activities and moral concepts, which are characterizes by the figures of Veruca, Violet, Augustus and Mike. I liked especially his appell to read more and watch less television – or to not watch television at all. Therefor I give the book five stars. Conclusion: A worthwhile book, which is far better than the movie.

The book's cover was torn and there was an ugly white sellotape stuck to the torn cover part. Absolutely unacceptable service.

Very very good handling of the product. You really do care about your buyers feelings about books. AND FREE BOOKMARK. Thank you very much.

One of Roald Dahl's best and most popular story books, written with highly creative imagination and delightful humour. It is a story of Charlie Bucket, an endearing, good-natured and well-behaved boy living a life of poverty with his poor, loving parents and their aged parents all of whom are ungrudgingly suffering cold and daily pangs of hunger; how Charlie chances upon a golden ticket placed in a candy bar out of five tickets that allows him and his Grandfather Joe, and four other spoilt children and their proud and rich, doting parents, into enigmatic Mr. Willy Wonka's world-famous chocolate factory that is never open to the public; the wildly amazing chocolates and candies (like Candy-coated Pencils for sucking, Rainbow Drops - suck them and you can spit in six different colours, Square Candies that Look Round, Invisible Chocolate Bars for eating in class, Exploding Candy for your enemies, Cavity-filling Caramels - say good bye to dentists, Stickjaw for talkative parents, Strawberry-Juice Water Pistols, Magic Hand-Fudge - when you hold it in your hand, you taste it in your mouth, Mint Jajubes for the boy next door - they will give him green teeth for a month, etc.) being produced in the factory by some strange, laughing and singing Oompa-Loompa midget workers brought in by Mr. Wonka from Loompaland; and how fortune smiles on Charlie in the end. Songs sung by Oompa-Loompas are also full of fun and humour and delightful to read. Excellent book for the young and all those young at heart. Age no bar. I just read it at 63 and loved it. A perfect birthday present, together with "Matilda" also by Roald Dahl and "Crazy Times with Uncle Ken" by Ruskin Bond, to any young boy or girl.
