Author Steve 'Almond-joy' has a sweet tooth to say the least, as Candyfreak exposes: while his prior book topics have ranged through heavy metal music to literature and erotica, Candyfreak presents the author's personal exploration of 'vanished candy bars'. His visits to the candy factories and originators themselves provides a healthy dose of mouth-watering descriptions blended with insights into the politics, sociology and flavor methods of the industry as a whole. Anticipate not just a singular celebration of candy, but a seasoned and in-depth survey of the candy business as a whole.
