Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is so much fun and so good and this sequel pales in comparison. There are some memorable elements but the actual story felt like one pass and an author who was too big for an editor to stand up and say he…

Excellent book, both my nephew and I enjoyed it. I love their adventures in space, slightly keeping me at the edge of my seat. The medicines are also highly desirable- something humankind has sought for for decades.

The further adventures of Charlie, cheerfully disrespectful of almost everything: physics, youth tonics, NASA, the afterlife, and the U.S. president. The Great Glass Elevator is more a collection of ideas than a full story. Basically, it's…

I hadn't heard of this sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory until I placed holds on books by Roald Dahl at SPL. This story is fascinating! It literally picks up right where the previous book left off. And Roald Dahl proceeds to take…
Who said that sequals are always worse than the first book?!? I mean, who wouldn't like pernicious kinids threatening to take over the world (actually, they're just taking over an American space hotel, but that's beside the point. It's…
