I grew up with this so my liking of it is nostalgia based for a large part. But saying that, it is still a great story with a lot happening.

They're flat as cardboard. Couldn't tell you much about any of them. The father's a stereotypical mad scientist. There were a couple other people in the story but I couldn't tell you a thing about them. In a couple chapters the family adopts the car. The car's pretty interesting, what little we get to see of it. Car's kind of snooty, though. That wasn't cool. Then the family goes to the beach and acts very stupid. I can't remember much after that. After seven chapters I had enough.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang book

I've wanted to read this book since I first found out it was written by Ian Fleming. This is the only novel he ever wrote that wasn't part of the James Bond series and it's a bizarre little oddity.
