Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator / Roald Dahl : 3 of 5

Even though I read all the time as a child, I seemed to have missed all the great books by Roald Dahl. However, I'm obsessed with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the film version of the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), so I recently decided I should start reading these great stories that inspired such great movies. My pal Dae sent me this book for Christmas, and being a sequel, it begins right where the original story ends, as the Great Glass Elevator (or Wonkavator) crashes through the roof of the factory and into space. The story is a wild one, with lots of funny commentary on human nature (always shown through the actions of silly adults). I really enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to reading more Dahl.
