Book Review: Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator


Review:  #335
Title:  Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
Series:  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - 2nd book
Author:  Roald Dahl
Read Before:  yes
My Comments:  A very imaginative and excellent sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  One thing that I did find weird was how the book was cleanly split into two main sections.  The first part dwells upon Charlie and his family (along with Wonka) heading into space, while the second part speaks upon the pills that make a person younger.  As mentioned, the events that happen here are quite imaginative, I mean, the knids were cool and Minusland somehow makes sense.  There’s a lot of ‘nonsense’ here, in that things that doesn’t make sense.  Yet you can't stop reading and wanting to find out what happens next.  The illustrations are great and lend a hand to visualising the world.
Rating:  6.5/10
