Pressestimmen
"Robert Cormier has written a brilliant sequel, more finely crafted, denser in plotting, and more subtle in character nuance than at his debut ten years ago as a YA author. Beyond the Chocolate War is a Newberry Medal candidate-if not the hands-down winner."-Children's Book Review Service
"No one has read Robert Cormier's young adult novel The Chocolate War can forget the anguish of that fight under the spotlights at the Trinity School...Mr. Cormier is almost unique in his powerful integration of the personal, politcal, and moral. Beyond the Chocolate War is very much a sequel."-The New York Times Book Review
"Readers will be riveted to this suspensful novel...After reading this sequel readers will probably demand to read its predecessor if they haven't already read it. The best of Cormier's highly acclaimed novels..."-Voice of Youth Advocates

The story of this highschool boy attending a private school is a wonderful sequel to The Chocolate War. I read this book quite some time after reading the first, yet I still understood it perfectly. Someone that has never picked up a Cormier novel in their lives would be able to understand it. It recaps all that happened in the last novel without becoming so it sounded like it was just summarizing the entire thing for you. He worked it in beautifully. This is also something I can relate to. So many people have been teased or bullied into doing something against their will in highschool that practically anyone can relate. Students can relate because they understand the situation so well, but it is advanced enough reading that an adult would enjoy it also.

I normally think sequels in books and movies are dumb. take the great movie jurrasic park and its sequel the lost world and you'll see what i mean. but i must say.. robert cormier is one of the best writers i've come across. i love his books! the character of archie costello is so evil, so uncaring that i think he may have made him a bit unbelievable... the switching from scene to scene with different characters was a bit confusing at first but i caught on. i dont really understand what was going through jerry renaults head. why did he have to "fight" janza again? all in all, maybe i'm biased, but i believe all his books are excellent

This intricately woven sequel, though hard to begin, had more of a plot than the character study Chocolate War. The imagery of the Guillotine ... the suicide of David Caroni ... and even the problems of the heads of the Vigils. It was all worth the time spent reading it. Except for the rape, it was alot cleaner than the other book.

Cormier's unrelenting study in cruelty continues...
I used to admire, perhaps envy Robert Cormier's simply but provocatively written insights into the failings and deliberate cruelties of human character. Lesen Sie weiter...

I don't read much, but this book was wonderful.
Beyond the Chocolate War is the squel to The Chocolate War. The book is about a Catholic all boys school. There is a secret society called the Vigils. Lesen Sie weiter...

A book is only as smart as it's author.
