Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

How do you do!
I introduce my eighth book Charlie and the chocolate factory. This book was written by Roald Dahl and it has 155 pages. I choose this book because I want to know original story of this book I watched the movie which released in 2005 but I never read book version written by Roald Dahl, so I decided to try reading this.
Main character is Willy Wonka and Carlie Bucket. Willy Wonka is top of chocolate factory and making unique chocolate with funny staffs. Charlie is an ordinary boy but his family is too poor to buy just a bar of chocolate.
Story is beginning from Charlie’s story. One day, Willy Wokna announced about five golden tickets in all over the world. Eventually, five children gets the ticket and their parent or grandpapa goes to the Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. There are many many fanatics things happen in the factory.
I love this book because this story has some kind of black humor so very enjoyable. I late this book excellent and I recommend this book for everyone!
