Loved it

It was a very nice, seasonal kind of story. Definitely would’ve been better in December!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST BOOK EVER!!!

BEST BOOK EVER!!! As you know by now the movie is out and as it says, "Every good thing in this world started with a dream", I think every good movie started with a book either way you should definitely buy this book whether as an audio book or e-book A.K.A. Kindle book or physical book it is a great book and that is my opinion!

An adventure!

I loved all of the voices and how it bought Wonka to life. I love all of the twist and turns in the plot. I hope there is a novella sequel.

I loved it. This one of the best origin stories I’ve ever read. I’m hoping to get the movie when it comes out.

So magical and sweet with chocolate!

I first saw the movie, and I thought it was very funny and fantastic.
The audio book also was very realistic.
