The Girl with No Shadow (Chocolat #2) 
I read Joanne Harris's popular novel Chocolat and saw the movie based on it so long ago that I can barely remember what it was about - other than a chocolate shop in France. But, I do recall enjoying it and finding it quite magical. So, while at a bookstore recently, I was excited to discover this sequel. The Girl with No Shadow opens with Vianne and Anouk (of Chocolat fame) in a new city under new identities, Yanne and Annie. Yanne is struggling to keep her new chocolaterie afloat. She is
The book invites you. Try me, test me, taste me... I am not talking about chocolate. I am talking about the book. But why not to add some chocolate while reading, because the chocolaterie mood is in the air.You won't regret. Even though you're on diet (no matter if it's for books or sweets). Try it, test it, taste it...

I was pretty frustrated with this book. I enjoyed the writing and I thought the writing was good but the plot and the story just felt really drawn-out.Usually Harris' writing has a really lovely slowness, like the gradual unwinding of a ball of yarn, but I didn't feel that way with this book. I really like her characters, particularly her female characters and how they were written but parts of the novel just felt totally forced in there for plot purposes. Without spoiling it, I relished the big
3.5 STARS - MILD SPOILERSAs 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
Zozie de l'Alba has breezed into Vianne/ Yanne's life. What's she up to ? She who steals identities, is fun, has loads of magic. And Yanne (from Chocolat) why has she turned into such a wimp. Why is she trying to conform, be like "the others", of course its because she wants a normal life for her daughters Anouk/Annie and Rosette (who is mute). Although Zozie's intentions are far from good, she does manage to get Yanne back into business, she manages to inject a lot of life into the Chocolat
Having read chocolat I already had an interest and liked the character of viane. It was good to see the changes in the child as she has grown up and the development of the relationship with her mother.

Explanation Conducive To Books The Girl with No Shadow (Chocolat #2)
The wind has always dictated Vianne Rocher's every move, buffeting her from the French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes to the crowded streets of Paris. Cloaked in a new identity, that of widow Yanne Charbonneau, she opens a chocolaterie on a small Montmartre street, determined to still the wind at last and keep her daughters, Anouk and baby Rosette, safe. But the weather vane soon turns, and Zozie de l'Alba blows into their lives. Charming and enigmatic, Zozie provides the brightness that Yanne's life needs--as her vivacity and bold lollipop shoes dazzle rebellious and impressionable preadolescent Anouk. But beneath their new friend's benevolent facade lies a ruthless treachery--for devious, seductive Zozie has plans that will shake their world to pieces.Point Of Books The Girl with No Shadow (Chocolat #2)

I really, really wanted to like this book - I have such fond memories of *Chocolat* (probably because I read a borrowed copy on the plane home from a trip to Paris replete with French chocolates, but still...). I can't help but think that the sequel almost ruins the magic of the first one - it ended so...hopefully, and then *The Girl With No Shadow* happens and undercuts it all.As a stand-alone book, though (which it very well could be), I'm much happier with it (and if it were a stand-aloneI read Joanne Harris's popular novel Chocolat and saw the movie based on it so long ago that I can barely remember what it was about - other than a chocolate shop in France.
