- Combien d'astronautes à bord?- Aucun, répondit Shuckworth. Ça ne peut pas être des astronautes.- Et pourquoi?- Parce que trois d'entre eux sont en chemise de nuit!- Bien sûr que je suis là, dit Shanks. Comment osez-vous nous interrompre? Et qui êtes-vous?- Le président des États-Unis, dit la voix....

I really wanted to love this as I had with the first book but it was not to be. The plot was just a hot mess with the elevator going too high and into space. The plot with the first space hotel was baffling and the narrator, whilst doing a great job with most of the voices, really started to annoy m...

Meh.If you pick this book up hoping that you'd get to see how things would take off after Charlie had been chosen to become the next successor of Wonka's chocolate factory, don't. You'd be greatly disappointed. I don't know why I even bother with this one. I didn't even like Charlie and the Chocolat...

This book is really really nor worth reading. It feels inconsistent with the previous book, and lacks its magic.

This book takes off right where the Chocolate Factory left us. This should be fun and exciting. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a delightful, fun adventure so continuing the story would be even better! Errr.. not quite.The Glass Elevator’s biggest misstep is it tries to do a very different sto...

In the sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, author Roald Dahl picks up right where he left off. Literally. The book begins with the old ones still in their bed and the bed itself being squeezed into the Great Glass Elevator. From there a madcap adventure starts, shooting them into outer s...

I remember as a kid being quite disappointed by this book, having so thoroughly loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Now I can see why I wasn't that thrilled with this second one. I wasn't into anything smacking of sci-fi or space travel as a kid. There were probably a few exceptions, but I m...

I'm a BIG, BIG fan of Willy Wonka, but I can't say this book met my hopeful expectations. The family is moving in to the chocolate factory, but end up in space ... with knids ... meeting with the President ... Don't know, it wasn't horrible (gotta love Dahl's humour), but maybe I should've stopped ...
