Search - Chocolat

I enjoyed this book very, very much. The author's style of writing was wonderful. However, the ending, and I mean literally the very, very last few pages of the book, caught me off guard for how I believed it was going to end. And this is one of those rare instances where I actually believe that the movie version was better than the book. I would still highly recommend this to my friends though, and will more than likely be picking up more books written by the author.

This was an entertaining quick read. I make it a point not to compare different art forms (books vs. movies), but I would recommend reading this whether or not you liked the movie.

Different from the movie, but it retains its on sort of magic. Makes you nostalgic for travel.

This is a delightful read. Vianne Rocher's character has the ability to transform people. From her own life's struggles, she shares her encouragement. I found Rocher's pick of character names funny; Rocher-a brand of chocolate for Vianne- the chocolatier, & Muscat -a wine; for the town drunk. Rocher's writing is a great novel, well-written, a little of French gastronomy; imaginary, but believable characters. It will keep you reading to the end...

What a beautiful, fairy-tale like story. I love the characters.

One of my favorite go to books. The story of the how a township can be changed for the better with the acceptance of those different from themselves and the magic of chocolat.
