superb!

I wanted to know what it was about. I loved it. It was a good story.

I got this book on the of 15 of june for my birthday I turned 9

Charlie's a true wonder with a idea to win a golden ticket soon he does but that's not the end of the contest Mr. wW plans a contest to see who is smart enough to get the company after he dies

This is an old classic that is humorous and has a great meaning. Charlie is a boy living in poverty with four grandparents and two parents. They are very poor, and the only money is received from Charlie's father who screws caps onto toothpaste. Charlie lives near a giant chocolate factory made by Willy Wonka, who is the best chocolate and candy maker in the world, but no one enters the factory. Willy Wonka gives everyone a chance to enter by having some chocolates with golden tickets inside. If you find a golden ticket, you can enter the factory one day with a tour from Willy Wonka himself! At first, the only people who find tickets are rich people who spend all their money on chocolate. Charlie ends up being the very last person to find his ticket, and he invites his oldest grandfather to come. They enter the factory… and let's just say there are surprises around every corner. Read the story to figure out them, or watch the movie…but I believe that books out rule movies any day.

This book was such a good book. I just don't like it I LOVE it. To me while the book was great The book was sad because it shows how a poor family got a miracle. I felt like a tear on my face. Otherwise this book is awesomw

I loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Although there wasn't much action, the book included a few hilarious points. I was eager to read more when the kids that came to Mr. Wonka's started getting into trouble. I would rate this book 4 and a half stars, due to the lack of mystery and adventure. This is an ideal book for kids in 2nd and 3rd grade. It is meant for people who want the humor.

This book was filled with adventure , i loved it! I was practically laughing every second! I rate this book 5 stars. If it were out of 10, i'd give it a 11. I would recommend this book for people who like adventure and humor.

I personally love this book it has a lot of detail and it makes me feel like I am at Mr. Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

I love the part where the ommpa-lommas sing and it's a great book so far
