I loved the book, which I read because a new version is due in theaters in December. Yesterday I was thinking of buying it for a co-worker’s daughter. Now I think I’ll get it for my neighbor.

Every child should read this classic. So much more to the story than just what’s in the movie, which is never a surprise. Read this story as a child, and still remember how much I loved it. A true classic.

I think that it was funny at the end. When the old lady said, when she was scared and was like “ARGHHH!” It was a ridiculous book (ridiculous means silly)!

Roald Dahl's writing is like F. Scott Fitzgerald's in that it cannot be filmed. It is too tactile. There are some things in the book that could have been attempted on screen like the underground rooms as big as football fields but these do…

There's a lot to love in this fantastical tale (though I do wish Dahl wasn't so keen on dismissing characters base on their looks). Watch young eyes grow wide imagining the delights and hazards of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
