I like the creepy people...they seem very real. I'll have to pick up this one, too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896965284887025639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-81776190937330313602009-06-14T06:47:40.678-07:002009-06-14T06:47:40.678-07:00He's always shady, even in his "children&...He's always shady, even in his "children's" fiction.

I never got the feeling he liked children, even as he used them as characters in his books. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, in particular, has this anti-child undertone to it that kind of creeps me out.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745786643511417426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-86276556278942167562009-06-13T16:47:47.730-07:002009-06-13T16:47:47.730-07:00True -- not much market for nose porn!

Thank heavens.<br /><br />Oddly, I never read his children's books, so I was surprised to learn that he wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a favorite childhood movie of mine. I thought he just wrote very clever and sometimes very weird stories for adults.<br /><br />A couple of my big favorites are "Man From the South" where they bet Gilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-61082226640567065012009-06-13T12:43:16.849-07:002009-06-13T12:43:16.849-07:00I'm adding both My Uncle Oswald and Switch Bit...I'm adding both My Uncle Oswald and Switch Bitch to my list - thanks for your review!Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131924592639030353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-30416094764397912052009-06-13T11:54:52.699-07:002009-06-13T11:54:52.699-07:00And I doubt nose-picking porn would sell as well. ...And I doubt nose-picking porn would sell as well.

He said he was amazed at the level of morbid humor from the entire family.
