Loved it. It made me hungry though.

Just the average chicken soup book here. I liked the lighthearted chocolate lovers edition and loved the quick stories. While there were a few heart warming stories I missed that tear filled, pulling on every heartstring, feeling I got with the original chicken soup books.

My favorite quote from the book - and now MY favorite quote: "Every time I say the word exercise, I wash my mouth out with chocolate."

saya membaca versi indonesia dari buku ini. agak menyesal sih membacanya, soalnya nggak tepat sasaran. dengan kata lain, salah ambil, hihihi. tapi yah, overall buku ini enak dibaca, buat teman bersantai. aku jadi tahu bagaimana pandangan orang-orang, warna hidup mereka, dan kegelisahan-kegelisahan berikut kebahagian-kebahagiaannya.. (tentu orang yg dimaksud adalah para pecinta coklat fanatik)
setelah membaca buku ini, aku mendapatkan satu hal lain; yakni mengingat kembali salah satu impian sederhanaku: minum coklat panas di suhu dingin negeri 4 musim. nyaris lupa sih, hehe. suatu saat, insyaallah. :)

Like all the Chicken Soup books, this is a collection of short stories, and not surprisingly, chocolate is the focus of the stories.

I wasn’t sure how chocolate was going to make for a Chicken Soup book. There were stories of romance, first dates, families baking, and such. It wasn’t sappy like the others I’ve read, which was nice. Now, I feel the need to go bake something chocolate!

Sangat suka cokelat!
Saya sebagai penggemar cokelat juga menemukan banyak pengalaman dengan cokelat. Mulai dari cokelat murahan sampai yang mahal. Tapi sangat jarang memakan yang mahal.
Cokelat memang dapat membuat perasaan bahagia. Cokelat itu stimulan. Cokelat asli sangat menyehatkan, kalau cokelat yang banyak mengandung gula, itu akan membuatmu menjadi gemuk!
Siapkan cokelat di setiap petualanganmu!itu akan sangat membatumu melewati hari-hari dengan bahagia ^^
