Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
5.0
I've been going through and reading books that classic movies are based off of, so I picked this up since it was half off,
The fact that the oompa loompa's songs were way longer than in the movie was unexpected, but also really fun! The Gene Wilder movie is probably the closest to its book than any book adaptations I've seen, even the boat scene and how the people reacted were similar. However, in both versions of the movie Charlie does something to mess up and then redeems himself. In this book, he is the only one to follow all the rules that Wonka gives them, which is how he ends up winning in the end.
Still, a fun read!!!
