A review by draconicmama
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
3.0
While this is a classic I will continue to read at least once to each of my children, I do have some things I dislike about this book immensely.
First off, the formatting is horrendous. The paragraph structure is painful to read.
Secondly, there are some seriously heavy and sometimes toxic biases in this thing.
Lastly, the Oompa Loompa poems are excruciatingly long.
I definitely prefer the Gene Wilder movie version of this story, but I also like encouraging my children to compare and contrast the two.
