I, too, had mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed the storytelling?it?s like a Dave Barry story with a purpose (and some factual?and interesting?information therein). Almond?s definitely a creative writer; he weaves his life into a story about candy in a very compelling way. What I wish he?d done, though, is to describe the components of some of the esoteric (and no-longer-produced) candy bars he mentioned, especially those with meat or vegetables in their names: Club Sandwich, Cold Turkey, Chicken Spanish, Vegetable Sandwich (see p. 94). What in the world might have been in those 'candy' bars? Also, I'm not too keen on the way the author refers to his marijuana use, however--especially since he makes it quite clear that marijuana was smoked during the time he was preparing this very book. (To me, although he may be an artist [pronounced as if it were French], recreational marijuana use at his age [upper 30s at the time of writing] seems immature and irresponsible.)
