The Chocolate Factory by Mary-Lou Stephens

4.0

adventurous emotional lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It gave me so much more than I was expecting. Firstly, I enjoyed the fact that it was set in a part of Australia that I have never been to and there is always talk about visiting the Cadbury factory when we eventually go there. Secondly, the characters I fell in love with. Even those characters that had smaller parts and not a main role. They were all well suited. Gertie, Maisie and Dot were my favourite females. Frank by far was my favourite and I could picture him in my head. Bringing together the war and chocolate was a great read. I loved how the book was written in chapters with a different character and the story flowed perfectly. I also loved the fact that it ended with closure! With each page I turned at the end I was hoping it wasn't the actual finish because I needed to know some things, but the author finished it so well.
