Bootleg is by far the best book i have ever read and i have read many books. This book is my favourite for many good reasons. Have you ever dreamed of a world without chocolate? Well this book is a dream come true. You can imagine the panic and the exitement. This book is action packed right from the beggining and it never stops!!!

This book is utterly fantastic. I read it in 8 days because it is such a great read. It starts off fantastically but it is also kind of a shock as the 'Good For You Party" came into power and ruled the UK, its first move was making choclate illegal.
It is a fantastic, daring and adventuress book, just as good as it's drama series (if you saw it), and it definitely should be read even if you hate chocolate.

Bootleg is a great read. The book was made into a three-part BBC TV drama in 2002 and it recently won "best drama" at the Children's BAFTA'S. If you have seen the drama you will definitely love the book. It tells the story about what the world would be like if there was not any chocolate. Even though this is not one of Alex Shearer's more well known books, I think this one is his best!
