4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet treat, 16 Sep 2008
By J. Cronin "dudara" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
First of all, the author's name is just a coincidence. His surname is Almond, and he is a guy who likes chocolate. In fact, it is fair to say that he is obsessed with candy.

Being Irish, I didn't recognise a lot of the candy bars mentioned in this book (with the exception of dark Kit Kats), but what I did understand was this author's passion and humour when it came to the subject of candy. Parts of this book will have you laughing out loud. He is never afraid to be open and honest, and you will finish this book with a real sense of connection to the author.

As part of his research, Almond arranged to visit several small regional manufacturers throughout the states. The character portraits drawn of the factory owners and employees are endearing, but the author's fascination with the machinery used to create candy and his obsessional thieving of fresh bars from the production line when not being watched are hilarious. Also amusing are his efforts to avoid candies containing coconut.
