5.0 out of 5 stars Chocolate lovers fight for the concoction they love the most, May 7, 2008
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) -
Chocolate lovers fight for the concoction they love the most in "The Chocolate Queen", the first and hopefully not last published novel of Lee Brooks. The people of Carmel, who view the delicious delight as sacred and divine, are invaded by the land of Reverent, which is strict with its laws and the dark indulgence has been outlawed for over one hundred fifty years. The people of Carmel are not about to abandon their love so easily though in this enthralling fantasy novel even though the concept seems a bit absurdist at first. Fantasy and chocolate lovers should grab this novel right away and community library fantasy collections should find it a popular lend.

Lee Brooks, a Chocolate lover and a member of The Red Hats Queen Bees of Brooklyn CT, lives in Connecticut with her husband and two cats. The chocolate Queen is her first published book.
The Chocolate Queen is a marvelous story that involves Chocolate, love and adventure. The land of Reverent consider Chocolate a taboo, while in the city of Carmel, hidden in the woods, a loving Queen lives and they all honor Chocolate. The residents of Carmel are in constant battle with the residents of Reverent, and in the course of events many bad things happen. What will be the outcome of their fight? Is Chocolate going to be banned for ever? Amidst the turmoil a love story unfolds and keeps the readers interest intact to the very end of the book.

The author has invented a code language that is based on the Greek alphabet and which is quite interesting to see! There is a table of contents at the back of the book to help readers decipher the code. This book is a beautiful tale for kids of all ages. The city of Carmel serves as a kind of Utopia where people live happily in a tropical paradise. Could this happen in the real world? The sketches throughout the book are cute. The cover is very attractive, chocolate lovers will just love it! To sum up, this is an unusual fantasy book for everyone who loves fantasy and chocolate.
