This has always been one of my favorite books. I have always loved the sense the of wonder and excite that this books exudes. I remember the first time I read this book; I had seen the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the one with Gene Wilder) and never really thought about it actually being a book. I was so excited to discover that it was based on a book and decided that I just had to read the book. If I remember correctly I sat down and read it completly through in one day. Ever since then I always come back to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. For some reason there is just something about this book that reminds me of my childhood. I sometimes think that it is the books ability to make you believe that anything can happen (something I often don't believe anymore, I am far too cynical for that now). So if you feel that you are becoming jaded and cynical this is definately to book to bring back into the world of infinate possiblities.
