[Summary]
Charlie Bucket is a young boy who comes from a poor but loving family and would love nothing more than to find a golden ticket to enter the amazing chocolate factory run by inventor and owner Willy Wonka. Fortunally, Charlie finds the last golden ticket and goes on this once in a lifetime adventure with his grandpa Joe. Among the other four winners are Veruca Salt, a spoiled rich girl; Augustus Gloop, a fat kid who stuffs his face with sweets; Violet Beuragarde, a champion of chewing gum; and Mike Teavee, a kid who spends too much time watching TV and playing video games than anything else. Most fascinating is the mysterious Willy Wonka who in turn had a troubled childhood and has a special grand prize at the end for one of the kids. Also along the tour are Wonka's staff the singing, working Oommpa Loompas. At the Wonka’s chocolate factory Charlie and the other kids are saw amazing chocolate world. There was a chocolate waterfall, the Oommpa Loompas are working on the huge chocolate mountain. Also they got on the candy boat that shape in dragon. Except Charlie the other four kids are not really interested in amazing invention from Wonka, just think about how they can be a winner and acting like really selfish and rude.

[Opinion]
I think except Charlie, the other four kids are have some problem with their mental age. They are not interested in the Wonka’s inventions, just want to be a winner. Also acting like really naughty and rude kids. And also the chocolate factory’s owner the Wanka, he doesn’t looks normal person. He has some bad memory about his childhood, so he couldn’t speak the word ‘parents’. I think he’s so wired. Everyone is in the factory trip was so wired for me. The Oommpa Loompas also not very normal. Anyway when I was reading this book, I can imagine about the beautiful chocolate factory, with chocolate mountain, chocolate apple tree, chocolate grasses, with the fantastic color. After I read this part, I really wanted to eat some chocolate. I love this novel.
