Audible Editor Reviews

"Douglas Hodge delivers Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in a briskly melodic canter, and his rendering holds its own against memories of cinema's Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp." (Gregory Maguire, The New York Times Book Review)

    "fanciful fun for five-year-olds"
    Would you listen to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory again? Why?

    We have listened to this book over and over again! The author is very engaging with voices and sound effects able keep the attention of even the youngest audience.

    "Roald Dahl is a still my favorite"

    This may not be as magical as my mother reading it to me when I was a kid, but it was an absolute joy to listen to, I will be buying more of his books.

    "Cool"

    The fact I can get it right now is to get the hang of it and it was the best of the day before I get a follow back on my way home from work to be the first half of the day before I get a follow back on my way home.

    "Top Shelf Narration. Professional Production"

    Complete professional narration. With sound effects and the many voices of the narrator who is a true professional actor makes all the difference we listen to this book over and over due to the quality of the production.
