Book Reviews of Pure Imagination: The Making of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Book Review: Great book for a Wonka fan.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book as a gift for my cousin's birthday. He's not a huge Willy Wonka fan persay but we have fond memories of watching the movie together when we were younger and we like to randomly quote lines from the movie. What a perfect gift idea this would be, I thought. So I bought it online, not knowing what the pages inside looked like. And I was thrilled when I finally received it!
The first thing I must point out is the great pictures. They're high quality and are probably the best parts of the book. There are pictures from the actual movie which are wonderful but my favorite pictures are the behind the scenes pictures. It's neat to see the characters when the camera isn't rolling. There are also a couple of sketches of different scenes (including the "Pure Imagination" scene).
The book is also filled with stories and facts that the average Willy Wonka fan might not know. The book is seperated into chapters so if you're not into, say, how the movie was put together and edited, you can skip right over that part. Being able to see how certain scenes were created and how they casted the movie and where the actors are now (one of the most intriguing sections) makes this book a rather interesting read.
If you know someone who loves Willy Wonka, this would make an excellent gift. I highly recommend it.
