Gene Wilder
Everything
I loved watching this film as a kid, and still do. I've never compared this movie to the novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Gene Wilder was perfect as Willy Wonka, his sarcasm is tops. The songs are one of the best parts, accept Cheer Up Charlie, that song is boring. I always fast-forwarded the video tape to pass over it.
I believe this movie has held up through the ages, and will always be superior.

Nov 25, 2020 (Updated Aug 14, 2023)
THE HIGH PRIESTESS is the second book in The Necronomicon Guardian series and we reunite with klutzy Charlie and her sidekicks - Tia, the human, and Glenda, the Seer. Of course, no book of Ms Daniels would be complete with a hottie and rising to that occasion is Nigel.
Charlie is suffering as she tries to bond with the book and she also finds out she has a whole new world to learn about. Tia has no fear apart from her fear that Charlie will get injured or crack under pressure. Glenda is coming out of her shell and I loved the bit with the tea - in fact, the bit with both characters and the tea! Nigel is showing his protective side, whether Charlie wants that or not.
Being as the book is called The High Priestess, I can't say the big bad actually came as a surprise. There was plenty of action in the fight near the end but I do wonder how Charlie will cope with the next 'card'.
A great addition to the series and definitely recommended by me, although I would also recommend you read book one first as you will need the information in that book for this one to make sense.

a thoroughly delightful read!
I really, REALLY enjoyed this!
It's a delightful read, that kept me fully engaged from start to finish!
I loved Lanie's expletives, they made me chuckle, they really did. I loved that Charlie was quick to try to appease the grumpy neighbour by keeping quiet first thing in the morning, but also that it enabled Charlie to refind his joy at using his grandad's hand tools.
I LOVED the thing with the grandmas! I must admit, I saw that coming at me a mile off, but I didn't quite see it going down like that and Charlie and Lanie finding out in the manner they did.
It's not overly explicit, but then again, Pratt's work never is, but it's not about that. Its about the getting to know someone, and the falling in love with someone. It's about the emotions involved in a new relationship, for Charlie especially here rather than the physical aspect.
And OH!!
That cover is just PERFECT! I love the covers this author uses, I really do.
A thoroughly enjoyable 4 star read.
