I've just completed reading "Charlie and the Choc Factory" by Roald Dahl....just in time before i catch the movie on N'day. :) It's such a delicious read...n the illustrations are an absolute delight. It's fun being a kid again...n remembering that our imagination shld never be dulled or limited by the stresses or even monotony of adulthood.
I was so excited to find proof of my theory that choc milk comes from choc cows, in this bk!(it's true u know) Ah...Mr Dahl is a fine man indeed!
Do give this charming bk a read if u can. It is quite a short bk...only took me 1 hr 30mins to read.
Here are some extracts from the bk tt gave me quite a few chuckles:
-------------------------------------------------------------
"They streaked past a black door. STORE-ROOM NUMBER 71, it said on it. WHIPS-ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.
'Whips!' cried Veruca Salt. 'What on earth do you use whips for?'
'For whipping cream, of course,' said Mr Wonka. 'How can you whip cream without whips? Whipped cream isn't whipped cream at all unless it's been whipped with whips. Just as a poached egg isn't a poached egg unless it's been stolen from the woods in the dead of night! Row on, please!'
They passed a yellow door on which it said: STOREROOM NUMBER 77 - ALL THE BEANS, CACAO BEANS, COFFEE BEANS, JELLY BEANs, AND HAS BEANS.
'Has beans?' cried Violet Beauregarde.

My my, look who has just joined the blogging community. hehe! Everyone's jumping on the wagon it seems. :)
Yes, do read the bk! It's very short anyway. The movie was fun, but I think I preferred the bk. I didn't really like how Tim Burton deviated from the bk in certain areas.
