Amazon Customer: “Who was Milton Hershey?” by James Buckley Jr., is a true story of one of the greatest chocolate companies and the person who created it! Milton Hershey was born in Derry Township, PA in 1857. He didn’t have an easy life growing up. His family was constantly moving around due to his father’s poor choices. Yet this didn’t stop Hershey from going into the candy industry. Hershey first learned to work with caramel and later decided to work with chocolate. Milton not only created his chocolate company, but the town of Hershey, Pennsylvania to run it. He also created Milton Hershey School to give orphaned boys a bright future.
I love eating Hershey chocolate! It is my favorite chocolate because it doesn’t have peanuts in it, so I can eat it without breaking out. (And before you ask, I am not being paid for this, I just really love Hershey chocolate). Before reading this book, I never gave much thought to the man behind my favorite chocolate bar. After reading the book, I was surprised he started off with basically nothing and now has left behind a legacy of one of the greatest candy companies ever! I would give this book a 4/5-star rating. I would recommend this for...

Hair Ball: He led an interesting life sad in some ways for money can not buy what you can not have
He was generous with his money helping many others
The only part that was not in the book was where he is buried? and a Picture of the Headstone would have been nice.
It will make a good book report for the grandson's assignment:)

Kenneth M. Henderson: I received this little book this week and have read it. Whilst aimed at younger folk it was an entertaining read and told Hershey information I was unaware before this book. RECOMMENDED.

Betsy: Got this book to help my 11 year old get into books more. He ended up using it for a book report, and learned so much about Milton Snavely Hershey..... I did too. It was a very fast read, both online (ebook) and soft cover (He left it at school, so we bought the online book as well). LOTS of photos, and details. Not too many names of characters.

Mousie: It was fascinating to learn about Hershey's life and the ingenuity, persistence and especially the generosity he showed. I've always loved Hershey chocolate and I've even been to Hershey Park - but this book has given me real appreciation of the guy.
