The Lollipop Shoes by Joanne Harris
4.0
3.5 STARS - MILD SPOILERS
As the second book in the Chocolat series, I was excited to read The Lollipop Shoes. And it was reasonably good, but I just hated Zozie so much! I mean, we were supposed to hate her (she's the antagonist in the book and you know that from the start) but I don't think you were supposed to hate her as much as I did. As I do . I just hated how she influenced Anouk/Annie and how Vianne/Yanne didn't notice that she was evil. I hated everything that she did - becoming friendly to everyone and taking over the shop - and how she secretly laughed at Vianne and Anouk. I hated her so much! (I'm not sure if you knew yet). And I honestly think that the amount of time that Zozie spent with Vianne could have been cut shorter. So I can't say that I loved this book, but it was well written and the ending brought it up an extra half a star. I don't think I'll read the next book quite yet, but I'll read it eventually. And hopefully I'll enjoy it a bit more!
