Title: Not at all what I expected
Review: I thought this would be a lighthearted look at the candy industry and to some extent that's what I got. There are some interesting tidbits about the candy industry and the people associated with it, but the overall tone of of the book is kind of dark and mean-spirited. Then as others have observed there are the countless references to the author's personal likes and dislikes. Yes, it is indeed a semi-autobiographical book for adults with four-letter words and drug use which is fine if that's what you're interested in. That's just not what I expected when I bought it. If you can relate to Almond's negative worldview and his extreme left politics then you might enjoy this book, but otherwise you'd be well advised to avoid it.
