A boy who only gets to eat cabbage soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner finds a Golden Ticket that will take him into Willy Wonka's magical chocolate factory.

Joining him on the tour are four horrible blighters:

Augustus Gloop - a great big greedy nincompoop, Veruca Salt - a spoiled brat, Violet Beauregarde - a repulsive little gum-chewer and Mike Teavee - a TV addict.

With a chocolate river, crafty squirrels and mysterious Oompa Loompas, Mr Wonka's chocolate factory is the strangest, most magnificent place Charlie has ever seen.

What other surprises are in store for the lucky ticket winners?

This story is about a boy named Charlie Bucket who lived with his family. His family barely managed to survive with very little money. There would be some days when Charlie would survive on cabbage soup or just starve. His life was totally miserable.
.
.
.
But there was on thing that made Charlie happy and that was the smell of the chocolate factory, he used to pass by, twice a day while going and coming back from school. He always used to look at the giant chocolate factory and was eager to know that how would it look from inside.
.
.
The chocolate factory, belonged to Willy Wonka who manufactured the most magical, mouth watering, beautiful and scrumptious chocolates in the whole world. One day, he held a contest for children where he announced that a Golden Ticket would be hidden underneath the ordinary wrapping paper of 5 ordinary bars of chocolate. The 5 lucky finders of these 5 Golden tickets would earn a free day tour in his giant chocolate factory and would also be allowed to see the secrets and magic of his factory.
.
.
A visit to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory is nothing less than a dream come true for any child in the world. His chocolate factory is every chocolate lover's paradise.
.
.
Who would be the 5 luckiest kids who would get a chance to win a free day tour to the chocolate factory ?
Would Charlie be one those 5 kids who would win a day tour to the chocolate factory ?
.
.
This book is soo good that after reading it you are surely going to crave for chocolates 😜😜

.
I give 5 / 5.

What is the story about?
It is a story of Charlie Bucket, , good-natured and well-behaved boy living a life of poverty with his poor, loving parents and their aged parents all of who are suffering cold and have of hunger; how Charlie chances upon a golden ticket placed in a candy bar out of five tickets that allows him and his Grandfather Joe, and four other spoilt children and they rich selfish parents, into Mr. Willy Wonka's world, famous chocolate factory that is never open to the public; the wildly amazing chocolates and candies Being produced in the factory by some strange, laughing and singing Oompa-Loompa tiny workers brought in by Mr. Wonka from Loompaland; and how fortune smiles on Charlie in the end. Songs sung by Oompa-Loompas are also full of fun and humor and delightful to read

HOW WAS THE STORY?
This story is incredibly cool , brilliant and enchanting and it is also the best story i have read and if anyone starts reading it he can’t put it down back, it also has the power to make us change our minds and it is full of charm , Songs sung by Oompa-Loompas are also full of fun and humor and delightful to read.

WHICH IS THE FAVOURITE PART OF THE STORY?
The favorite part of mine in this book was when the girl who was champion in taekwondo became into a big fat purple plum by a chu-gum and her name was Violet and her was very selfish about her. The second favorite part of mine in this story was when Charlie was scared by getting a chocolate from, inside the glass where there were small or tiny chimpanzees

Bye! Have a nice time reading it!

A Most Delighful Story Book by Master Story-writer

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 4 January 2014

Verified Purchase

One of Roald Dahl's best and most popular story books, written with highly creative imagination and delightful humour. It is a story of Charlie Bucket, an endearing, good-natured and well-behaved boy living a life of poverty with his poor, loving parents and their aged parents all of whom are ungrudgingly suffering cold and daily pangs of hunger; how Charlie chances upon a golden ticket placed in a candy bar out of five tickets that allows him and his Grandfather Joe, and four other spoilt children and their proud and rich, doting parents, into enigmatic Mr. Willy Wonka's world-famous chocolate factory that is never open to the public; the wildly amazing chocolates and candies (like Candy-coated Pencils for sucking, Rainbow Drops - suck them and you can spit in six different colours, Square Candies that Look Round, Invisible Chocolate Bars for eating in class, Exploding Candy for your enemies, Cavity-filling Caramels - say good bye to dentists, Stickjaw for talkative parents, Strawberry-Juice Water Pistols, Magic Hand-Fudge - when you hold it in your hand, you taste it in your mouth, Mint Jajubes for the boy next door - they will give him green teeth for a month, etc.) being produced in the factory by some strange, laughing and singing Oompa-Loompa midget workers brought in by Mr. Wonka from Loompaland; and how fortune smiles on Charlie in the end. Songs sung by Oompa-Loompas are also full of fun and humour and delightful to read. Excellent book for the young and all those young at heart. Age no bar. I just read it at 63 and loved it. A perfect birthday present, together with "Matilda" also by Roald Dahl and "Crazy Times with Uncle Ken" by Ruskin Bond, to any young boy or girl.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Roald Dahl

My son wrote this review as he was the one that read and enjoyed this book, I've read this book myself but it was many a moons ago...

A really good book and is the first book of the 'Charlie and The...' series. And is the most popular Roald Dahl book to this date, well I think so anyway. It's about a boy called 'Charlie' that can't afford to buy chocolate bars but luckily finds some money and buys some and shares the chocolate with his family. There's a few golden tickets available hidden in chocolate bars and his grandpa gives him his savings to buy one more bar of chocolate hoping to find the golden ticket which de does.

He takes a tour around the secret chocolate factory with his grandpa with a group of misbehaved children. Eventually Charlie is the only one left at the end and ignore the offer to him by Mr Wonkas employee which led Mr Wonka to give him the factory and Charlies whole family move in living happily ever after.

The characters are:

Charlie Bucket;

Mr and Mrs Bucket;

Grandpa Joe;

Grandma Josephine;

Grandpa George;

Mr Willy Wonka;

The Oompa Loompas;

Mr and Mrs Gloop and Augustus Gloop;

Mr and Mrs Teavee and Mike Teavee;

Mr and Mrs Beauregarde and Violet Beauregarde

Mr and Mrs Salt and Veruca Salt

Overall very well-done book with a very good storyline, I just wish there was a competition so that I could win a chocolate factory, I wouldn't mind any factory just so long as it makes chocolate.

Highly recommended.

Regular paperback with monochrome illustrations.

Other reviewers were excited to receive a large-sized, colour-illustrated version. But I just received a normal paperback version with a few black/white illustrations on some pages. I didn’t need the fancy version and the description didn’t promise it but it was disappointing anyway.

Can’t add a photo as given to our 9 year old granddaughter to read ….after I had read it first !
It was bought for our Ukrainian 11 year old but proved to be too difficult for him to get a grasp off. I enjoyed it though, I read it twice!

Excellent chocolaty fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 23 April 2012

As a child I had mixed feelings about Dahl's books, but loved the films, especially the classic Gene Wilder version. Now that I have a little boy of my own I'm working on instilling the magic of books, and decided to try him on a paperback of the Fantastic Mr Fox - he loved it, and so did I. Next up some more substantial fare - enter Charlie. I have to say the book is great - I'm enjoying reading it and my son (very nearly 4) is fascinated by all the details - cabbage soup for dinner and mattresses on the floor etc.

I was particularly interested to see how he'd take to being read to from my tablet - he loves it and likes watching me flick the pages - I was a little worried the medium would be intrusive, but actually I think it works really well.

I haven't yet picked up any of the page-setting errors other reviewers have noted,so these may well have been remedied now, and the illustrations are luminous and lovely on my Blackberry Playbook (with side-loaded android kindle). I am particularly pleased to see that the kindle version is appropriately priced at £1.99 compared to the full price for the paperback.
