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.
