I just have to tell you - cracky crossover or not, this was an amazingly well-done (not to mention HILARIOUS) story. I found it via TV Tropes, and I have to say that as a longtime CSI fan, I think you did a great job of blending the show with the "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" universe. Mixing two such wildly different franchises is no mean feat, and you managed to do it without darkening up the "CCF" universe too much.

Great job! :)

I just finished reading this for the second time, I love this fic so much. It was great to see the mundane world of CSI with the fantastic world of Willy Wonka, as well as seeing what has become of the lucky contests (poor Charlie, though...) Still, excellent nice job of taking a strange concept and making it actually *work*.

Wow. Wowowowowwow. That was...Epic! :D

Very interesting and original. Poor Charlie though.

While the end was a bit bittersweet, it is a fun and exciting adventure throughout the story, especially with the investigation, following the members of Grissom's CSI team. The characters themselves are spot on, like I could hear them speak in their voices while reading; and the killer is quite unexpected. It is an entertaining read :)

that was just.. just.. wow.. at firs I was like what is this? how is it possible to combine thoise two bt now.. just wow.. i's amazing.. the story the plot how u stayed i character... incredible..

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! I was a little skeptical still, but kept reading...
OK, you won me at the song. This is awesome!

I'm not sure how to express my thoughts. They keep coming out something on the order of "This is not a crossover that it is possible for it to work and yet it works". The imagery is charming, the dialogue's excellent, and the characterizations are DEAD on: I could hear the characters' voices all the way through. Poor Grissom.

What a terrific crossover! I really enjoyed reading it.

Wow... okay... um... I feel that I can honestly say that that was one of the most interesting crossover stories that I've ever read. Entertaining, yet dramatic, and despite all the whimsy, it still works! This is definitely getting fav'd.

This shouldn't work. These are two completely different settings that in no way, shape, or form can be mixed together and still make sense. And yet, somehow, it totally works. Hat's off to you for doing the impossible.

Tv Tropes, you've done it again ! At first, when I stumbled upon this, the mere thought of Willy Wonka and CSI was awkward at best, disastrous at worst. However, after reading through the story and coming at last to the ending of it all, I can honestly say that; I'm proud, and humbled, to have been more wrong. In this site full of misspellings and broken fanfics, yours truly are a diamond in a dungheap. Amazing. Simply amazing.

Looks like my searches on TvTropes struck gold again. Anyway...

I haven't watched CSI in a long time, but the characterization seemed spot on.

Wow... this is... "Like magic"

Really! You managed to combine a crime show (of all things) with what was originally a childrens novel and it worked perfectly! This had to be one of the best fics I'll ever read!

Just... wow.
