Is it just us or is Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator awful?

DD (P3) has been working through Roald Dhal books this year - I didn't read any of these as a child so have really been enjoying them (Fantastic Mr Fox, The Twits, CATCF). But now she has CATGGE - and it's awful! We've read 6 chapters and we hate it. DD is finding some of it really tricky - mainly because it's either very un-pc or un-funny jokes. Is it just us? They read about 3 or 4 chapters a week so we're going to be stuck with it for weeks yet. I'm dreading reading time - any ideas to get through it and more importantly not let it put DD off?

I'm embarrassed to say dd and I have given up on it. The Phantom Tollbooth is proving far more fun.
