A review by gordonk
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl

4.0

The sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that never made it into Movie form and as much as I love it I can see why. Roald Dahl never was a stranger to silly elements in his writing but this one is like a silliness overdose. From a hotel in outer space to battling stretchy aliens to people who are too young and people who are too old and a President Of The United States who needs a nanny to keep an eye on him. So as much as I love this one it is hard to see how it would translate into movie format but that is ok because I’m quite sure Roald Dahl would have preferred his stories to be read and not seen!
