Review title: Easy to put down
Product review: The Chocolate War, by Robert Cormier, is hard to get into. It has a poor plot and skips around too much. It gives great detail on topics irrelevant to the story line. Cormier goes off on long drawn-out accounts of characters' personal lives and histories. This novel is boring, monotonous, and altogether poorly written. For some odd reason Cormier was compelled to include more about the lusts of a fat, teenage boy than major issues concerning the plot. Also, this novel has no real age-appropriate level. It combines mature topics with elementary school grammar. Cormier tried to add a realistic air to an improbable setting and did a poor job of it. He used a clever little ending which completes the book in what would be the middle of any normal novel. The book leaves you not wanting to read more, just wanting to forget what you just read. I could hardly recommend this book. It is worth neither your time nor money.
