“Combines the patter of a stand-up comic with the soul of a 10-year-old whose allowance is burning a hole in his pocket.”

Boston Globe

Part candy porn, part candy polemic, part social history, part confession, Candyfreak explores the role candy plays in our lives as both source of pleasure and escape from pain.

    Fun Book

    This was a fun book, especially for someone with a major sweet tooth. Steve Almond is one of my favorite fiction writers, but this is a great nonfiction exploration into candy, and specifically smaller independent candy companies. It's almost like David Sedaris doing more reportage and focusing on a single topic. The narrator was ok, but he tends to overdo it at times with his emphasizing certain passages and he gets a tone of voice that can only be construed as "cutesy." In the end this was definitely worth the time, though it made me hungry.
