But only five lucky children will be allowed inside.

My Review: I always wondered how similar the book was to the movies. I had heard that the new movie followed the book much much better than the original movie. So I went ahead and read this book and you know what? It is soo much more like the new movie than the old. The Oompa Loompas are a little different but the characters and events are very similar. The story is fun and quirky just like the movie.
