Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Dahl Roald




Charlie and the Chocolate Factory  











Charlie lives with his parents and both sets of his grandparents, his father works in a toothpaste factory; he his bound to feed and take care of his big family, unfortunately their conditions were very miserable and sometimes they starve to death.

Charlie adore the taste of Chocolate, hopefully he could get one bar of it from his family. He was yearning to get inside the chocolate factory and discover  that mysterious world, his dream came true when he won  the golden ticket.

Mr Willy Wonka the owner of the factory gave five kids the opportunity to show them his magnificent building. The four children were amazed during that visit because they discovered heaps of fabulous things inside they even didn't recognize that truly exist here. But the nasty children behaved beastly, they ended up leaving the factory and eliminated from gaining a specific gift.

On contrary, Charlie could patiently maintain his stillness and good manners ,thus he was rewarded by being the new lifelong owner of the chocolate factory!

The story was delightful from the outset; literally I enjoyed reading and imagining the tiny details in the tale, I felt a quite bored in the last two chapters but I admit that the ending was  a surprise  surprised for me.

What I like more was Wonka's character, I loved his sarcasm and his funny expression about the kids.

The Witches by Roald Dahl





The Witches




The Witches by  Roald Dahl






A creepy fantastic story by Roald Dahl . It is about an intelligent little boy and his grandmother who beated the community of witches in England and planned to get rid of all the witches all around the world.

Obviously it is an imaginary tale, addressed to children but it made me shiver :D especially when the old lady described the witches' features to her grandson.

The story is amusing, cosy but honestly I would not read it to my future child; when I was a kid I used to believe everything about anything ;I won't frighten my lovely child.

I recommend it to grown-ups and for those who want to improve their English. I think all of  Roald Dahl's books are suitable for beginners.
