Review title: One of the best books ever written- A MUST!
Product review: The Chocolate War is a multileveled masterpiece! On the surface are Jerry and the other kids who attend a middle class private school, that seems to be religiously affiliated, but inside are issues of: authority, self-perception, puberty, decision making, good vs. evil, social responsibility, and so much more. Of course the adults in this story are evil and rotten, as are some of the boys. Jerry is the hero in more ways than one- sometimes vulnerable but always strong. It is possible that Cormier wanted to blast religion in this novel, but I see him as empowering kids, to not simply lie down and let the world happen to them.Don't I wish I'd read this book as a teenager? YES I DO!
