Perfect gift for the chocoholic. Clever. Artistic. And very funny. I not only laughed, I could practically taste the chocolate.

Cartoons for chocolate lovers! Elegant little drawings with a fresh, sophisticated humor. Bon Appetit!

Donna Barstow has hit on a subject that hits both women and men. This book would make a great gift. And it's funny, too!

I'm a collector of chocolate cookbooks, so I had to take a look at this. There aren't any recipes, but the cartoons more than make up for that, and some of the quotations made me laugh out loud, too. Maybe it sounds weird, but I also like the smooth chocolate cover and the expensive feeling paper! I actually gave copies of this to 3 friends already, and plan to give more. I've never seen a book of cartoons just on chocolate before, and it's a great addition to my collection!

What do women really want? They want this book! It's full of New Yorker style cartoons about a love in the lives of many women and men: chocolate. Although I personally "would not cross the street" for chocolate (a phrase I picked up from an Irish friend), I still find it very funny.

If you have any chocolate lovers in your life, this book is a MUST for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Christmas, your second date -- whatever! The only complaint is if I read it another time, I might start crossing the street, too.

I bought this book for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift and nearly kept it for myself. The humor is top-notch -- every joke tickled my funny bone. And after laughing myself from the first page to the last, what do I have to say? Men really want chocolate too.

One of the other comments said the cartoons are like the New Yorker...so she didn't like this book. Well, I do like the New Yorker cartoons, so I loved it! But these don't toe the line the way NY cartoons do, so kudos to the author for taking on a topic that's feminine and feisty.

I also like that it's a hardback. I deserve it!

This is an okay book. Some of the cartoons are amusing, and the art is good, I think that as an artist they are very similar to the New Yorker or dailies that you see. However, many of the jokes are a bit tedious, and I think some were meant to be funny but missed the mark. It makes a nice coffee table book.
