A review by rubyshmuby
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Ian Fleming

3.0

I actually liked the movie better which is really rare because the book is almost always better. Maybe if I had read the book before I saw the movie...maybe...The story was completely different though. Their name is Pott, not Potts, but Pott. Also, Caratacus(?) has a wife?! I mean from the very beginning...no Truly...where did they get Truly anyway?! But of course, if there is no Truly then the candy company accepts Caratacus's offer about the candy. So there is no dancing and singing with Truly in the candy factory which made me super sad...because it's my favorite scene. Then, they figure out that Chitty can fly in a TRAFFIC jam....ugh....and then, Chitty floats away from an island and on to FRANCE....what? I did not like this as much as the movie yet I gave it 3 stars because I love the movie (:
