Book Reviews of the Beyond the Chocolate War
Customer Review: It goes Beyond Chocolate
Summary: 3 Stars
When I first read The Chocolate War, I felt very interested to read Beyond The Chocollate War. I chose this book because I read The Chocolate War, and I thought it was very interesting. Therefore I was eager to finish and start the sequel. Yet I was disappointed in it. This book is about how Jerry Renault gets into a fight with Emile Janza, and how he goes to the hospital to heal. His friend the "Goober" gets involved with this "Vigil" thing, and starts to hate them even more for what they did to Jerry. The "Vigil's" yet are on another goal to do something to Obie, Archie's used to be right hand man. Also, the "Goober" goes and visits Jerry and feels bad that he didn't do anything to stop it. What else happend in this book is that Obie stands up to Archie and Archie gets a new person to keep track of the assignments and other things.
What I didn't like about this book is that they didn't talk about Jerry Renault much. A little bit of this book was given to him. Yet last time Jerry was the main character. In that case, it does not make any sense to me because the "Vigils" go unpunished and Jerry is still hurting. Also, the "Vigils" are still giving "assignments" out to other people. Therefore nothing is really solved in this book. If I had to give a better mark to The Chocolate War, or Beyond The Chocolate War, I'd definitely choose The Chocolate War. Not only does it express what happens and gives everything in detail, Beyond The Chocolate War doesn't even explain what happend to Jerry much.
