Yummy! - Rated
The thought of a book celebrating everything sweet really appealed to me, especially at a time when those of us with a sweet tooth are made to feel guilty every time we indulge! The book handles this brilliantly ( and the comments about Gillian McKeith, were particularly enjoyable!!)

The early chapters brought my own childhood back in glorious technicolour, who could forget the joy of receiving a mini-dairy milk chocolate dispenser, or having your Christmas presents delivered in pillow cases? I particularly enjoyed the description of the syrup sponge that was so sweet, 'I could almost feel the enamel hissing on my teeth' and the thought that someone wouldn't mind having their tonsils out becasue it guarenteed them ice cream for two weeks.

For me, the early chapters were a bit better that the later ones, but the whole book was hugely enjoyable.

Recommended.
