Chocolat Review,
By Jenny Godwin (Portland, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chocolat (Tie-In) (Paperback)
I thought the book Chocolat was great and I enjoyed reading it. It was definitely a change of pace from all other books I have read in school which made it that much more enjoyable. I think that it was a good decision for Joanne Harris to have the book set up in journal entries by both Vianne and Reynaud because it allowed us to see both of their points of view instead of only one perspective throughout the entire novel.I thought the details in the book were amazing especially about the chocolates because most of the time I could almost taste the chocolates in my mouth as I was reading it. Vianne Rocher was a very admirable character in this novel. She demonstrated the strengths of a woman and the courage to stand up against a society for your beliefs. She remained strong even when she became pregnant and when Roux left her for Josephine. I think that she was portrayed very well in the novel.

chocolat review,
By Julie (haddam, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chocolat (Tie-In) (Paperback)
Chocolat by Joanne Harris can be depicted as an inspirational novel. Vianne Rocher, the main character, is a unique woman who will not conform to the ways of society. This is an amazing story that relates to happiness, sorrow and romance. Harris reflects Vianne as a woman worthy of praise. Vianne easily disregards the opinions of society. She is deeply rooted in her own morals and beliefs. The author captures the spirit of the characters as well as fulfilling the beauty and magic of the town. She also provides vivid descriptions and images of the townspeople and their reactions to Vianne and her daughter Anouk. However nothing compares to the images the author provides when Vianne is brewing up her famous chocolate recipes. My favorite scene was the arrival Roux. I knew something special was going to happen between him and Vianne. Joanne Harris is more than capable of grabbing the reader's attention, in fact she is able to leave their emotions rising and falling with every turn of the page.

delicious,
By "mgmidget66" (Providence, RI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chocolat (Tie-In) (Paperback)
Wow- this was a quick read. Considering I'm a mother with two young children and never get a chance to see a movie. So low and behold I pick up the novel and boy was I happy. I began reading the book on Ash Wednesday and was completed on on the first Friday lent. Also coming from a very strict religious family during lent and its odd sacrifices that we must endure through this book really made me smile through out. A must read for all who need a realistic novel that any one who went to church can relate too.
