And in true candyfreak fashion, Almond lusciously describes the rich tastes that he has loved since childhood and continues to crave today. Steve Almond has written a comic but ultimately bittersweet story of how he grew up on candy-and how, for better and worse, the candy industry has grown up, too. \u003cbr\u003eCandyfreak is the delicious story of one man's lifelong obsession with candy and his quest to discover its origins in America.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Candyfreak: A Journey Through the Chocolate Underbelly of America | Steve Almond | Paperback | 9780156032933 | Used: Very Good | Humor 1589930","offer_id":50641738039554,"sku":"1589930","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61oSQG52D8L.jpg?v=1791245492","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/candyfreak-a-journey-through-the-chocolate-underbelly-of-america","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
