As the dust settles on a productive chocolate fundraiser at Trinity Boys School in Monument, Massachusetts, there is much still to be decided. The curious reader who enjoyed Robert Cormiers first novel geared towards a teenage audience will surely want to take some time to read this sequel, set mere months after the fiasco of the chocolate war. As the students at Trinity remember the events of the fall fundraiser, Jerry Renault continues to suffer the after-effects of defying the school and its
Good wins over evil in this book ... and that is why I think it and the original are banned a lot. This book is the sequel to The Chocolate War. It picks up at the end of the year from hell for the main character Jerry Renault. In the first book, Archie Costello, the assigner for the Vigils made life miserable for Jerry, and in the end he was physically assaulted and almost killed. In the sequel the readers are able to experience Jerry's recovery both physically and mentally and see the impact
After reading The Chocolate War, I decided I should read the sequel. I'd been told it wasn't that good, but I actually ended up quite liking it despite its flaws. It's a different book from the first; it definitely continues the same tone and themes, but it's not quite as focused -- instead of one strong plot that winds tighter and tighter as the book progresses, this one has several different focal points. Beyond the Chocolate War is more of a horror novel than the first. I realized after
God I really love this one.It's not the subtle adoration I have of the first one, it's not a, "I really like how the message is just under the surface and every word is necessary and god this is beautiful ". It's more of a: the first book was fantastic on an unearthly level and this book is fantastic in a sequel way. In a, all of your favorite characters are back, the events of the first book have rocked them, and now there's also a guillotine. It's phenomenal. I love it so much. I love how
I have really mixed feelings about this one, but I think that is mostly because my outlook of life differs so considerably from the book's. Despite this, Cormier really probes the depths of the weakness and commonality of the sheep mentality. The characters in this book are very richly developed and completely believable. Plenty of people like them exist (I went to high school with a few of them), and some really poignant and painful points are illustrated throughout the unfolding of the story.
I decided to read this book because I had read its prequel, The Chocolate War. This book is about the continuation of the year at Trinity from The Chocolate War, this time focusing on the Vigils and Archie. After trying to foil a plot that would embarrass the Bishops visit, Carter and Obie get into deep trouble as they attempt to overthrow Archie from the Vigils. My favorite quote was You could have said no anytime, anytime at all, but you didnt. Archies voice was filled with contempt because it
