Something that we liked was the easy language of the book, so it was easy to read it in english, but we maybe think that one reason the book was easy were because we already knew the story.

One thing that we really liked about the meaning of the story is that it showes us that even poor people can be succsesfull. Charlie comes from a very poor family but since he is sutch a good person and does the right things, the right things happen to him. Therfor we love this story because it shows the world that everyone can have their dreams come true as long as they are good persons.
