Book Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I know it's only been a couple days since my last book review, but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is only 155 pages and I'm still trying to reach my goal of 20 books in 2011. (This is book 4.) Anyway, I wanted to see whether the original or revamped version was closer to the book. Turns out it's a mixture of both. Between the two movies they cover pretty much everything in the book. There are still some candy inventions that make it worth the read. Plus, in my child-focused mind, Roald Dahl is a hero and Charlie is an iconic book. Definitely worth the read, especially if you read a chapter a night as a bedtime story.
