It’s funny how you forget how racist old books can be.

Willy Wonka is from Gallifrey; there can be no other explanation.

This book was the weirdest sequel I've ever read, if I'm being honest.

I truly expected some more crazy chocolate factory action, but involving a glass elevator. Welp, I hope you wanted Charlie, Willy and Grandpa Joe heading to space and a dumb American government, because that's whatcha got.

I will say that Roald Dahl is a marvelous writer and a lot of this book is amusing! He's got a unique style that made me laugh as an adult but also see how a child could love this book just as much. At the same time, this book wasn't as interesting to me. The big adventure was really cool and seemed totally "out of this world" (pun intended) but it didn't feel as fun as the first book. There's no way I would have been able to guess the ending to this book.

In that regards, that's probably why it makes such a fun kids book. Kids love adventure, fun and comedy so they'll really dig this book. As an adult, I'd rather read it my kids or reading buddies instead of enjoying it myself. I want to finish off this series and read more by Roald Dahl because of his pure genius. 

Alas, it's still a classic and beautifully written. I'd highly recommend it as a children's novel or if you love a good classic book. 

Two out of five stars.

Well, this was an unnecessary sequel. I really enjoyed the first book, though that might be a little bit because of nostalgia – this book fell completely flat for me. I didn’t like the characters (honestly why are they all written so CHILDISH?!) and I wasn’t a fan of the way the story went. I think if they hadn’t added the whole space part, this book would have been a bit better.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but it was a decent read.

The amount of absurdity was a little bit too much in this one. I definitely liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory better.

It took days for me to finish this 159 pages. I hate to say this, but not like ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ (which I really, really enjoyed reading it), I had no idea how was I supposed to like this story. The imagination was surely great, but the story was kinda’ absurd. Children will probably gonna love this story. But honestly, I felt nothing when I read it. All I want was to finish it as soon as possible because I couldn’t just let it without finish it. I don’t really think it’s a fun read just like ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’.

From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG! Last seen flying through the sky in a giant elevator in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie Bucket's back for another adventure. When the giant elevator picks up speed, Charlie, Willy Wonka, and the gang are sent hurtling through space and time. Visiting the world’' first space hotel, battling the dreaded Vermicious Knids, and saving the world are only a few stops along this remarkable, intergalactic joyride.

Phizzwhizzing new cover look and branding for the World's NUMBER ONE Storyteller! WHOOSH! Inside the Great Glass Elevator, Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket and his family are cruising a thousand feet above the chocolate factory. They can see the whole world below them, but they're not alone. The American Space Hotel has just launched. Lurking inside are the Vernicious Knids - the most brutal, vindictive murderous beasts in the universe. So grab your gizzard! Hold your hats! Only Charlie and Willy Wonka can stop the Knids from destroying everything! Listen to CHARLIE AND THE GREAT GLASS ELEVATOR and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios! Look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits.
