Delectable
15 Aug 2003
Format:Hardcover
A sparkling sugary gem of a book. Although her taste in desserts is questionable (if I had written this book, it would have been all about dark chocolate), Liftin's endearing personality is evident on every page. I borrowed this one from the local library, and was reluctant to return it.

Charmingly Sweet
2 Jun 2003
Format:Hardcover
I am completely crazy about this book and wild about Hilary. She has the most delicious way of turning a phrase and somehow managed to capture exactly what it was like to grow up feeling out of step and a little awkward and always hoping that someone would recognize how fabulous you really were. Her evolution into a flawed, yet balanced and wise and -finally - happy woman made me grin with recognition and wish that she and I were pals.
An insatiable love of candy (and ice cream and maybe a little frosting straight out of the tub) is not at all needed to love this book. It is funny and smart and rings true page after page. Without question it is a recommended read.

Yummy!
24 July 2003
Format:Hardcover
I love this book. I'm a little miffed I didn't think to write it first, but other than that I just love it. Its good to see that people other than my best friend and I have a hardcore sugar addiction. This book starts with the author's childhood sneaky treat of confectioners sugar mixed with milk or water (been there) to stealing her brother's Halloween candy (done that) to the international treats found in other countries (have you have tasted the perfection that is an Australian Caramello Koala?) I'd say she and I were separated at birth. What I particularly like is that this book is 90% about pure sugar candy - smarties, candy corn (one of the great loves of my life), bottle caps, canned frosting etc. and only 10% about chocolates. In this world there are the sugar candy people and there are the chocoholics, the author and I are sugar candy people. There are very brief histories of some of the candies mentioned, which could have been expanded on but overall this is just a great read for a sugar junkie. The very best part is the resources section in the back of the book which lists several websites to order your favorite candies in BULK. Heaven!
