A review by bookfeyreads
The Discovery of Chocolate by James Runcie

3.0

The premise of the book is excellent however once the plot gets going it felt all over the place. The time travel isn't explained in any real way and makes no sense. The chocolate theme throughout the book is very sensual but is not strong enough to hold together the story. It felt like there were several books being sewn together like Frankenstein.

My favorite part was the beginning when the main character starts off in Mesoamerica. Everything about that section of the book was beautiful.

The book was interesting journey but not one that I would make again.
