Chocolate on a Stick

De: Carole Bellacera

Narrado por: Angie Hickman

Velma and Louie are in their 70s...and in love with each other. They met at the mailboxes in a retirement home in Memphis, Tennessee. But trouble is on the horizon for our sprightly senior citizens. The nursing home is closing, and their children are bound and determined to separate them - keeping Velma in Memphis with her nervous Elvis Presley-impersonator, car salesman son, Farvis, and sending Louie to South Carolina with his daughter, Jeneeva, who works in a sex toy factory pouring plastic into "pecker molds", as Velma calls it.

But Velma and Louie ain't gonna take this kind of treatment from their nutty offspring. They're "runnin' oft" In a red Corvette.

A little romantic humor...

This is a story about love, romance, respect and humor! If you found Thelma and Louise funny, you will find this book even funnier. This love story is about 2 people in their 70s that found each other and then the families decide they are going to split them up. Velma and Louie take off for California and lead the cops and families on a cross country chase. Good story and good supporting cast with loads of laughs. I loved the character Jack Bunn, what a great guy!

The author, Carole Bellacera did a good job writing this book. I laughed many times and even shed a few tears towards the end. The narrator did a fantastic job. Great on the Australian accent along with the southern accents. Loved the voices.

This book had me rooting for the protagonists from the get go. I hope in 20 years I will have the spunk of these two run aways. The adventures they experience had me laughing out loud. Never take senior citizens for granted, and don't try to tell them what to do!!!


The narration was well done. The characters were excellently portrayed.

Excellent fun!

This story is a rip roaring fun adventure! The characters are quirky in a very normal real way and the narration just dances. I'm going right back to chapter one for another listen.

Loved everything about this

This book was wonderful. I can honestly say that the narrator really made the characters in this book come to life. I was disappointed to see it end, but wow what a great adventure they had!

One of the Most Fun, Laugh Out Loud Books Ever

CHOCOLATE ON A STICK was such a fun, fun listen. It was laugh out loud cute and chock full of county slang and idioms. I loved it when Velma said "I swan." I can remember my grandma saying that as well as other phrases. Country folks really talk this way. The two main characters Velma and Louie are so awesome. They sort of run parallel with "Thelma and Louise' in the fact that they can only be together by running away from their busybody adult children who I might add are pretty colorful characters as well.

(I'm just going to make this interjection) If you're reading this review and considering this audiobook, get it. This is one of my favorite all time books.

I liked the way the chapters were alternating POV's from each character. It gave the story a complete fullness and insight into each person and why they were the way they were.

The whole book was super fun but a few of the places where I laughed a lot more were when Louie and Velma were with the pot smokers and Louie partook and then proceeded to moon the cop that was playing lane change with them in the 'vette they were driving. Another was when they were in the casino, and in the hot air balloon. There were so many good times in this book that I hope this awesome author, CAROLE BELLACERA writes more from this vein.

ANGIE HICKMAN- What can I say. She was superb narrating this book. She nailed each and every character and nuance. She is fantastic and took a great book over the top to complete awesomeness. She's a wonderfully skilled voice actor that I can't wait to hear more from.
