    elenchus: Both The Mysterious Benedict Society and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory feature children more capable than either their peers or they themselves give credit, and adults who could learn from them. I find in Dahl an undercurrent of misanthropy, which Stewart counters without becoming precious.… (more)

I really enjoyed this children's classic. I have watched the movie with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka many times and was seeing the movie while reading the book - it was closer to the book than I expected. I love the writing of Roald Dahl and I love his darker side. Willy Wonka is quite a villain, actually. ( )

Quotations
'Whips!’ cried Veruca Salt. ‘What on earth do you use whips for?’

‘For whipping cream, of course,’ said Mr Wonka. ‘How can you whip cream without whips? Whipped cream isn’t whipped cream at all unless it’s been whipped with whips. Just as a poached egg isn’t a poached egg unless it’s been stolen from the woods in the dead of night!'
