"It was an unhappy truth...that nearly all people in the world behave badly when there is something really big at take". --Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator This book actually exceeded my expectations. In my thinking, it is almost certainly the most hilarious Roald Dahl book that I have ever read. Especially in the interactions very early on with the U.S. President, I was laughing out loud big-time, and very frequently, a first for me with Roald Dahl Stories. The humor is one of this book's strengths; the other is the same common sense rationale set forth through Willy Wonka in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", that all the information necessary not to crash and burn would be concisely provided, but it would be up to the people to hear it for themselves and make it work. If they didn't listen to Wonka, then there would be definite consequences; the exact consequences, in fact, that he had spelled out so clearly. Willy Wonka would always be willing to warn them of unknown pitfalls, but ultimately he could not save them from themselves if they were not willing to listen. A good lesson, and a good story.
Definately the best book out of the series. The series should have ended with this book because the next one sounded so silly that I didn't even bother to read it.
Loved this story--such hot sex and romance!
