Narrative In Pursuance Of 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.

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.I loved this book! It included lots of action, some romance, and some thrilling parts, too. The main character is a boy named Joe. He goes into town for a specialized doctor but ends up meeting a girl at a fast food restaurant. Not just any girl. She was amazing in Joes eyes. She was beautiful and kind! At that fast food restaurant he meets someone who seems to be her pimp and he thinks she's a prostitute. But even though Joe thinks she is a prostitute, it does not stop him from liking her or
Kevin Brooks will always amaze me I think. that's honestly everything I need to say
Joe Becks life is pretty run-of-the-mill. Parents separated, doesnt get on so well with his father, goes to school, plays with a band, tries to stay out of trouble. And then he meets Candy.Something about her draws him right in. He cant believe shes talking to him. That he could be so lucky. And when he gets chased off by a very large and very scary Iggy, who can only be her Pimp, he cant believe that either. He mulls it over for a week, after finding her number in his pocket, then calls to ask
I liked this book. It had a lot of suspense and is a quick read once you invest the time in it. I wish the ending had been less vague.. makes me wonder if there will ever be a sequel. If I could give this book a 3.5 I would, but since I can't I'm settling with a 3.
Everyone's always ranting about how this book is so great. It let me down SO much. Kevin Brooks does this thing where he leads to a conclusion in the end but doesn't explain it because the character never seems to care. It works in some of his books like Being or The road of the dead, but i honestly didn't like this one.
Loves Another Drug(A Book Review of Kevin Brookss Candy)Its hard to imagine life without Candy.Addiction is a word most of us are familiar with and all of us have his/her vices, fixes we hanker for from time to time. But how powerful can an addiction be and how far can we go to satisfy this burning need?Joe Beck is your average fifteen-year-old teen living a comfortable life in the suburbs of London; he gets by in his school studies and cares pretty much about his music playing bass for a band
