Book Reviews of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: A Play
Book Review: Read along to take a trip through a chocolate factory!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. This was a great book to read. Though this was fictional, it was also realistic because you could picture the story going on in your head. I also found myself feeling like I was going through the experiences along with the story. Enough with the rating, let's get to the story so you can read it and rate it yourself! A young, poor child, Charlie, lived with a very poor family. Once a year, on his birthday, his grandparents along with his parents (to chip in with money) would give him one measly little Willie Wonka's chocolate candy bar. His clothes were in rags, he was all dirty and very sad that he was this way. One day he saw that there was a contest that had to do with Willie Wonka's chocolate factory. Mr. Wonka would put 5 golden tickets in his Willie Wonka chocolate bars. Charlie wanted to win the contest so bad, but he only got candy bars once a year, so he didn't have a good chance of winning one of the golden tickets. His grandfather decided that since the contest was so important to Charlie, he would get him a candy bar. The next day, his grandfather got him a chocolate candy bar. Everyone was so eager for him to open and win because you wouldn't just get a golden ticket, but a tour through the factory and a 1 year supply of candy bars! When Charlie opened the wrapper, so eager to win, there was no golden ticket. Charlie was so upset because he really thought that he had a chance. Until.... The next day, to his surprise, he found money in the sewer to buy a candy bar at the candy shop. He was kind of scared and eager to win because he wouldn't have anymore money to take a second chance. He opened the door to the candy shop and stepped in the shop, hoping that he would win a golden ticket, for there was only one more left. He selected a bar and carefully peeled open the wrapper. In amazement, he found the golden ticket! Yes, it was the last golden ticket and he had won it! Everyone crowded around Charlie in hope that maybe they could grab it from him. He was very excited, but also scared that maybe some adult or kid would grab the golden ticket for themselves. Finally the storekeeper said to go home and show his family what he had won in his candy bar. When Charlie went home and screamed that he had won the golden ticket everyone cheered. It was now ready to go to the front gate of the factory. I'm sure that you know how little Charlie must have felt winning the prize. You'll have to read the book to find out what happens along the tour with Mr. Wonka himself.
