I honestly don't know what to say about this book. I haven't seen the musical, but I did look at the trailer about 3/4ths through reading the book--and it looked impressive. The book didn't impress me though. The character is not how I envision a young Willy Wonka (in my mind--that's the character played by Gene Wilder--not Johnny Depp). They've written him too naive and not very bright in dealing with questionable people. Also, how did he create everything they did in the book when he had no money whatsoever? The last third of the book is much more on target than the first part, so that was a relief. Oh, and I could have lived without all the whimsy typeset where they seemed to randomly pick words and enlarge/bold and change font on. It was distracting while reading and didn't add anything to the story--so why?
