Explanation To Books Candy

When Joe Beck, a fifteen-year-old suburban kid, gets lost in a disreputable neighborhood on his way to an appointment in London, he is struck dumb by his first sight of beautiful and seemingly innocent Candy. She talks with him, teases him, but reveals nothing about herself except her phone number. Later they have a perfect day at the London Zoo, and soon Joe is as addicted to Candy as she is to heroin, in spite of the threats of her menacing pimp Iggy. Almost nothing matters except his desire to free her from her terrible life-- not his band's chance for a recording contract, not the song he has written for her that has become a hit without him. But there is something that still matters to him, and when he rescues the young prostitute from her sordid rooming house and takes her into hiding to sweat out her addiction, Iggy finds and uses that one thing that is stronger than Joe's passion for Candy, in a heart-thumping, breathless conclusion.

Crit Out Of Books Candy

Candy can be addictive

Great book. Kevin Brooks is in my opinion the most amazing and underrated young adult writer. Although I did not enjoy this book as much as Lucas the first book of his I read, it was still a gripping story that I couldnt put down. This book much like Lucas, leaves me with deep and durable thoughts. Generally a Cool, easy to read and interesting story but with an ending that keeps you guessing and wanting more.

Give me the strength not finish books.Nothing happened in this, there was no character development, no reason for the mc to be so hopelessly in love with Candy. The writing sucked. Here's the climax: "it was just so... I don't know. Just so much."

I really need to review these books right after I read them... because I can't remember crap. Now... why did I give this one a B? Perhaps I should change it. Oh... because it was British. And anything British automatically gets a B in my book. But, looking back on it, the fact that it was British was really the only thing Candy had going for it.It's a trendy book. Does that make sense? I can see this book becoming really popular, with people saying that it really targets a younger audience. What

It was good, till the ending. In my opinion it ended so randomly, it went down hill at the part when Candy is going through withdrawal. I enjoyed the aspect of Joe's odd obsession for Candy, and I believed that the book would develop into something really awesome. I wish I did not even finish the book because the last little bit was just aweful ruined the whole thing for me, and it seemed as though the authour just wanted to wrap it up. The ending just did not make sense and left me completely

Joe beck was a normal teenage guy trying to make it through high school, practice with his band, and juggle family issues. He never would've guess how his life would turn around from a simple trip to the train station. Joe gets off the train and runs into a beautiful girl named Candy. He's baffled, and they end up making it to a mcdonalds when after grabbing some food, a big group of pimps walk in a start harassing Candy. Joe realizes what she does and doesn't know how to handle it.. his

meh...it took me an extremely long time to get through this (*gasp* I had to return it LATE to the library, astonishing I know) and that's coming from the girl who reads novels like it's an Olympic sport. Part of the reason is because of how Kevin Brooks writes, I swear if I read the words 'it was...I don't know, so much.' I WILL scream. You are a WRITER, for the book's sake get some dang adjectives! Plus, personally I don't like books where nothing really happens, and I mean things happen but
