Negative Positive
Title: Bitter aftertaste
Review: Like overly bitter chocolate, this book tempts you with a delicious idea but leaves you ultimately unsatisfied. It's really more of a journey through the underbelly of Steve Almond, a place I never intended or wanted to go. For example, what does the fact that he once used (or may still use -- it's left unclear) marijuana have to do with the candy industry? Not a thing, but we're "treated" to lots of tidbits like that throughout the book, which in my opinion reveals more about the author's vanity than it does the candy industry.
Is the review positive or negative?
