## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A First Rate Social History
  

*by P***M on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2016*

Ms Kawash has done a tremendous amount of research, and her ability to effectively set a context for each era she explores is admirable.  (Candy in the 1830s was almost exclusively the food stuffs of the rich.  The average child could expect a special treat of sugared plums once a year at Xmas.)  She's also adept at showing the give and take flow of popular thought on contemporary foodstuffs, especially at the turn of the 20th Century where calorie counting was invented mostly to make sure people got enough nutrition, not to limit their food intake.  The book does bog down in a little as the author tries to use a unifying theme of the value/danger of candy, but that is a minor complaint.  It seems like this book didn't really take off; I managed to buy a nearly new copy for a penny, plus shipping, and I'm not really sure why it didn't.  It's a terrific read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fascinating History
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020*

The book was shipped promptly and arrived in great condition. I would buy from Trinh Ho again.The book itself is fascinating. Well worth reading for a person interested in food history.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An original and well-researched exploration of a long-overlooked aspect of American history
  

*by L***D on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2014*

Finally! Samira Kawash has written a long-overdue book, showing that candy is not just a fun and pleasurable indulgence but a significant part of American social, economic, industrial, gender, and cultural history. Historians for too long have overlooked candy and its role in American history. Kawash's lively and well-researched book takes candy out of the realm of nostalgia and gives it the analysis it deserves, revealing it to be twice as fascinating and much more deeply significant than as you thought it was. What a great book.
