It's good, about an adult revenging childhood hurts, but not in a trite way. It is in the form of two narrators, but their voices were not distinguishable from each other, so I was a third of the way through before I realized they were not the same person. Once I figured that out I enjoyed it a little more. The plot is good; by the end I appreciated the character personalities. Good ending, bettter than the slow start. <br/>I'm still looking for another Chocolat!! Any ideas??? <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/151888?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
