Lockwood's prose becomes crisp and matter-of-fact: "The tech could see everything - the head that was measuring ten weeks ahead of the rest of the body, the asymmetry in arms and legs, the eyes that would not close - but she wasn't allowed to say anything about it." The main character's pregnant sister, a cheerful participant in a world of vulgar, amusement-driven prattle, discovers that something is wrong with her child in utero: "Proteus syndrome," the chances of which were "one in a billion." The novel sustains this tone for so long that the reader must scramble to adjust when the lacquer of inanity cracks and all-consuming sorrow pours forth. ![]() Lockwood's narrator both mocks the portal and mirrors it, leaping from one subject to another, often in service of a punch line. ![]() ![]() ![]() The narrator reveals that a girl called Miranda Grope has already vanished into the chocolate river with Augustus Pottle: she is gone for ever, but the greedy boy was reincarnated as Augustus Gloop.

In the chapter Charlie Bucket – accompanied by his mother, not his sprightly grandfather – and the other children are led into the Vanilla Fudge Room, where they face the sinister prospect of the Pounding and Cutting Room. ![]() |
