- A real treat, absolutely unputdownable!
I could not stop reading this fascinating, mesmerising, magical novel by the talented Joanne Harris. It wove a spell over me (for the 48 hours it took to read at any rate) as seductive and tantalising as a cup of Vianne's hot chocolate.

Beautifully written and characterized, I was sorry to finish it.

- Another magical tale of chocolate and love
What an amazing follow-on from Chocolat. Set four years later, this book marks the continuing narrative of Vianne Rocher (now going by the name of Yanne). Just like in Chocolat Harris continues to write her story in 3 first person narratives, this time we see Anouk giving her account of events, along with a new character Zozie. This form of narrative is used far more successfully in Lollipop Shoes than it was in Chocolat. Seeing events from the perspective of Anouk, still a child, really adds flavour to the book - Harris accurately captures all the struggles that a teen can go through with family and friends - it will have you sympathizing with her interpretation of the world.

Magic features more obviously in this book, compared ... Read More:

- Not amazing, not dreadful.....
.....just a bit disappointing. I got really excited about this and bought it hardback as soon as it came out, however I don't feel it matched up to Joanna Harris's other works. Don't get me wrong, its well written, the descriptions of the chocolate still make your mouth water, and the magic is ever present, there is just something missing. I loved Vianne's unique and quirky character in 'Chocolat' but in lollipop shoes there is something that doesn't quite follow. A must if you've read Chocolat, but probably very frustrating if you haven't.

Rating:

- A great summer or rainy days read
Loved this book and had difficulty putting it down until I'd finished it. You definitely need to read Chocolat first in order to set the scene for this sequel.

Loved to hate the character of Zozie, who I'd expect to be the star character if the book is made into a film. Bit disappointed in the "wimpiness" of Vianne (the main character from Chocolat) but, for me, that made this book refreshingly different and I'd say it was a brave move by the author.

Loved the way the narrative switched from one character to another too.

Rating:

- well usually sequels are
- derivative and boring, but this one certainly wasn't. Joanne Harris is a real storyteller and the book just kept me hooked from beginning to end. In fact I think was better than Chocolat. Harris has matured as a writer without ever selling out. Long may she continue!
