Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl - 161 pages

I really enjoyed this audio version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  I'm kind of surprised I had not the read the book before.  It was a lot of fun.  The narration by Eric Idle was great.  Two things kind of bothered me about the audio though.  One was that it seemed a very abrupt ending.  It felt like the story should go on.  Which I guess it does in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.  The second thing was that I kept hearing Gene Wilder's version in my head while listening to the book -- how he didn't really try to stop the kids from misbehaving in the movie.  Still -- a lot of fun!
