Beyond the Chocolate War by Robert Cormier (1986)   Francostudies | Feb 5, 2009 |  An unrelenting, unflinching look at high school, this book provides a window into the way some high school students look at the world. A more in-depth review is definitely forthcoming, eventually, because this book deserves it. But not today, alas. (  ) Kplatypus | Jun 7, 2008 | This is a wonderful novel for teen age boys to read. The characters are realistic and the author allows the reader to see inside the head of the boys. Their thoughts are like the thoughts many young adults are afraid to admit they have. (  ) mmallory | Mar 8, 2008 | Enjoyed it just as much as the first. If you can believe it, this book is even darker! Life has changed for everyone at Trinity High. Brother Leon is now headmaster. Jerry has been in Canada recuperating. Obie is in love. Goober is in a haze. Only Archie remains the same. However, he doesn't like that his fellow graduating Vigils' attentions have strayed to other avenues. What will he do to prove to himself he's still in charge and who will he pick to carry on the Vigil legacy? ( ) punkypower | Feb 17, 2008 | This was intensely creepy, and full of horrific incidents. Like The Chocolate War, this novel tells the stories of various students at a private school, especially those affected by the actions of a secret society dedicated to disruption. I wished there had been more segments from Archie's point of view. (  ) francescadefreitas | Jan 6, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
