Semi-fascinating story about a few classic traditional candy business'. It was an OK read but lacked breadth. I'd only had a few of the candies described and I really would have enjoyed less depth on more candies. Still......I read it in two sittings and it made my mouth water!

Fast paced but fairly predictable. Good read but not many surprises.(15 of 28 readers found this comment helpful)
