The Chocolate War by Robert Comier definitely measures up to his other books, After the First Death and Tenderness. Cormier has an interesting writing style and writes about problems other authors don’t dare to write about. What starts out as a hazing ritual after refusing to sell fundraiser chocolates ends in a brutal beating. I had to sell chocolates while I was in junior high and they weren’t very good so I doubt people would buy them if it wasn’t to support the school. I liked how Jerry was able to stand his ground surrounded by peer pressure. It made it seem like all the teachers at the school were menacing.
