5.0 out of 5 stars Charming and delightful, 10 Feb 2004
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This is the story of Commander Caractacus Pott, a highly eccentric inventor, and his family. When they acquire a broken-down old automobile, Commander Pott goes to work on it, and seemingly with the help of the automobile itself, he rebuilds it into a car that is more than a little bit magic. Due to the sound it makes when it starts up, the Pott children name the car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! However, a trip in this car is like nothing you can imagine, anything can happen, and something fantastic invariably will! And so it's off to adventure and danger!

This is a charming and delightful children's story, one that you could hardly imagine was written by Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond books! My kids love this whimsical story and yours will too. My family highly recommends this book to yours. 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original and the best Chitty, 22 Nov 2006
By Cangarwbach (Shrewsbury, UK) - See all my reviews
I have been compelled to write a review to counter the absurd remarks made by other reviewers. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL STORY!!!! Ian Fleming wrote this book as a simple story of a magical car, thieves, channel-crossing and kids. None of this Hollywood soppy mush with Childcatchers and awfully titled Truly Scrumptious, the film and subsequent productions are completely Vulgarian. So clear your head of all that popularist nonsense and enjoy a much more enjoyable (and possible slightly more plausible?) version of a classic tale from a classic author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 8 Dec 1999
By A Customer
I thought the book was very well written, and the illustrations helped the book along. The story is very different to the film but still good. However, I was most surprised to find that the book was adapted for beginning readers by Al Perkins and not the original book by Ian Flemming.
