Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Product Information

The cover photo of the 50th anniversary edition, published by Penguin Modern Classics for sale in the UK and aimed at the adult market, received widespread commentary and criticism. During the tour, the other four children give in to their impulses and are ejected from the tour in darkly comical ways: Augustus falls into the Chocolate River and is sucked up a pipe, Violet turns into a giant blueberry after chewing an experimental stick of three-course dinner gum, Veruca and her parents fall down a garbage chute after the former tries to capture one of the nut-testing squirrels, and Mike is shrunk down to the size of a chocolate bar after misusing the Television Chocolate device despite Wonka's warnings. It is not a real-world chocolate factory like the one that once offered tours in Hershey, Pennsylvania; rather, it is a vast underground complex, where one travels by boat down a river of chocolate, from the Chocolate Room to the Inventing Room to the Nut Room to the Television-Chocolate Room – or can travel even faster, in all directions, via a Great Glass Elevator!

He was like a squirrel in the quickness of his movements, like a quick clever old squirrel from the park. My favorite part was the actual tour and reading about all the crazy thing that Wonka had hidden in his factory. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been filmed twice – once in 1971, as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka; and once in 2005, under the novel’s original title, with Johnny Depp in the Wonka role. There is Augustus Gloop, a compulsive overeater; Violet Beauregarde, a comparably compulsive gum-chewer; Mike Teavee, an inveterate viewer of vapid and violent television programs; and Veruca Salt, a thoroughly spoiled girl who is always demanding more and more from her wealthy and indulgent parents.Truth be told, since this is a morality tale, except for Charlie perhaps, all the other kids are insufferable sinful brats.

It may seem strange that the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory can be creepy and uplifting at once; but then again, it seems strange that chocolate and peanut butter taste so good together. The liquid is dispensed one drop at a time, where it cools and forms a hard shell, storing the heat and "by a magic process .looks at the children at the center of the story, and highlights the way Roald Dahl’s writing manages to embrace both the light and the dark aspects of life. Memorable grandparent characters are relatively rare in literature; but Grandpa Joe, Charlie’s loyal companion and wise counselor, embodies what a good grandparent should be, and may remind many readers of their own favourite grandparent. I cried, she cried, we both cried and laughed and cheered when those nasty, nasty kids got their just deserts. The first time I read this book, when I was a kid, there was only one Charlie and the chocolate Factory movie, and I had never seen it.
