Dahl's imaginative work is full of laughs and sometimes dead pan humor. Follow Charlie as he attempts to get used to the quirks and qualities of his new chocolate factory. A good book to read with a younger sibling, or by yourself. Plus, there's lots of talk about candy. Who doesn't love that? ( )

We just finished listening to this book (second or third time THIS decade) again. There are some really great bits and lines in this book. I read it as a kid and loved it then, though thought Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was better. This one is more subtle and not as tightly written, but enjoyable as well. ( )

Roald dahl made a wonderfully active and sort of really funny character called mr.wonka. Mr.wonka is really random and has really stupid inventions that are not useful at all. He's candy inventions are so retarded such like the square gum. But, still I really liked reading this book it was really funny.
