Summary: Blood is just as sweet as Chocolate
Review: This book (Blood and Chocolate) is such a good book for teens. I say for teens because younger kids will get, well, bad influences from the book since they cuss a good amount in there. But then it is sssoooo descriptive! Whenever the characters kiss, Anette Curtis Klause makes it sound everlasting, well, like passionate. It is a real page-turner! I mean you WANT to turn the page to see what happens next, when you read it, at one point, you won't be able to put it down. I mean, it takes you to a whole other world with werewolves and fantisy. Bottom Line: This book has everything you would want in a fictional fantisy book. It's really terrific. ;)

Summary: It Is The best Book for any one 13 and 17
Review: I really enjoyed the book. I liked how she used different ways to tell what the Charecter is feeling. I read The Blooding I thought it was the best book until I saw what the other people wrote So I decied to buy the bookB&C. I thought the book would be corny because the cover was not to convesing. But I was glad i listened to the Review's. I think The book was worth it. The Reason Why I turened to this book was because I love to read about WereWolves

Summary: YOU GOTTA READ THIS BOOK!
Review: I enjoy reading novels about werewolves, vampires and witchesand when I found this book I realized that every other werewolf novelwas nowhere close to being this good. The book is so good you won't wanna put it down. I've had this book several years and I never get tired of reading it. In fact I read it just last nite for the umpteenth time! If you like a little mystery, romance thats not sappy, and characters that are believable cause they act like real people (Aiden the innocent, Vivian-pulled between two worlds, and Gabriel the bad boy!) then you'll enjoy this book. I read alot and I know that if you can't really get into a book by the end of the first chapter then its usually not worth reading so trust me when I tell you this is a good read!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Blood and Chocolate
Review: I totally loved this book. It had allot of pages to read but since it was interesting, I paid no attention to that. Annette sure knows how to add detail. I absolutely love the fantasy of it. She portrayed each character brilliantly! I would recommend any teen buy this book, go ahead buy it.

Summary: A modern day Romeo & Juliet story
Review: Vivian is in love, but this is not a normal teen crush...she's in love with a "meat boy". Vivian misses her father, who was killed in a fire, her mom is running around with a new boyfriend and Vivian is just trying to find herself. A modern "Romeo and Juliette" recently praised by Seventeen magazine(although the book is 3 years old). Oh...by the way Vivian is a werewolf, so can she and Aiden overcome their differences? A great book, full of fights, broken hearts and it will leave you wanting more...so be sure to pick up The _Silver Kiss_ by Klause, a novel about mysterious stranger, with a secret as big as Vivian's.

Waiting with great interest for a new book by Ms. Klause

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excitment all the way.......
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read! I love the waythat the plot is put together. It really takes you on a rollercoaster ride that never stops untill your done! The characters blow you away, but still have flaws that make them seem real.

The book is a great read to anyone that doesn't mind the language in it, although I still recomened it.

Klause is a brillent genious and has truley woven one of the best story plots together. My only complaint is that there is no sequal that I have heard of.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: To bloom in the dark....
Review: Of the many books I read in a class about children's and young adult literature, "Blood and Chocolate" ranks as one my favorites. Teenager Vivian Gandillon comes from a family of "loups garoux," or werewolves. After a massacre in which her father was killed, Vivian and members of her pack begin life elsewhere. She also develops an attraction for poetic Aiden Teague, a "meat boy" (a loup-garou euphemism for a human) at her new high school.

Vivian's struggles to live as a "normal" human and lycanthrope, as well as the pleasures and pains of her relationship with Aiden, provide the book with its primary strengths. Vivian is also a fully-developed character, with readers able to know her thoughts. From them, we learn she is strong, vulnerable, sardonic, and in touch with her feelings. Vivian is also worthy of the reader's sympathy, even empathy: "Blood and Chocolate" provided me with the vicarious experience of feeling for Vivian, especially after she reveals her hidden self to Aiden in a scene filled with psychological and sexual symbolism. (Her mounting desire for total acceptance from Aiden reminds me of the words of another "dangerously" sensuous sixteen-year-old from literature and opera, addressed to the severed head of the man she desired: "If you had seen me, you would have loved me.") Of course, this is one one of many scenes that symbolize the perils of adolescence: the angst, insecurity, and desire for acceptance that occur no matter how beautiful one may look, or how confident one may act. "Blood and Chocolate" is also teasingly sensual (as one can imagine from the mortally seductive cover), whether describing Vivian's feelings for Aiden or her transformations into a creature of the Moon. Through these scenes, the book addresses the fresh adolescent passions that many forgetful adults hate and try to control (out of jealousy would be my guess).

An unfortunate weakness I must note (though this may just be me): the plot becomes bogged down in a murder mystery involving the pack. While it may provide "Blood and Chocolate" with suspense, it detracts from the book's essential strengths and magic.

While "Blood and Chocolate" may be a young adult book, I as a not-so-young adult enjoyed it. Whatever age you are, get in touch with your inner loup-garou and enjoy this howler of a book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!
