This review is from: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Movie-Tie In CD (Audio CD)

This audio book is absolutely fabulous! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of my favorite books growing up, so I was delighted to find it read by Eric Idle, my favorite Python. Roald Dahl's text is charming, witty, and slightly dark, and Idle brings all of those dimensions to life. I am amazed by how many different voices Idle uses for the characters. Each character has a distinct voice and personality. My personal favorite voice is Veruca Salt. "Daddy, I want a squirrel!" His Wonka voice is hilarious. Idle definitely could have played Willy Wonka. This is a great product. It's so much fun to listen to at any time. You will get many hours of enjoyment listening to the magic of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
