5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, 20 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes (Mass Market Paperback)
Although it's not a classic, and I don't see why it's not, I love this book. It's probably not one of those books the school would recommend you read. But for any one who wants a good fun story, full of drama this book is it. I own the book, and I lend it out, very carefully of course, to anyone who loves to read, or doesn't, to show it off. I personally loved that this Mr. Crutcher wrote a great story from a 17 year old boy's point of view, with immaturity, he showed us probably exactly what a 17 year old boy would be thinking. I laughed at almost everything Moby said, his humour was unbelievable. The vocabulary was different, funny and clever. I know at times I sat down and talked to the book for what was going on, I yelled at Sarah's mother, I laughed at Moby for being a wuss, I cheered at parts too. I laugh at myself now, but I guess that's what this book does to you. So if you want to have a book that pisses you off and makes you feel good inside too, try this one, it's one of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book blew me away!!!!!, 27 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes (Mass Market Paperback)
I am an adult taking a Young Adult Novel class. I just finished Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes. I loved it so much, I am doing my final project on it. I cried like a baby at points throughout this book, and again at the end. It was so powerful to me. I, like Moby, am fat. It was enlightening to read from his perspective. He never lost hope or spirit. This novel just really blew me away. Kudos to Crutcher. This is the first time I have read him, but definately not the last. READ THIS BOOK kids and adults alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once you start, you just can't stop., 11 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes (Mass Market Paperback)
I've never read anything by Chris Crutcher before and I think this book is very interesting and very easy to read... not like some books that have too many adjectives in a sentence, it will make you bored. Usually it takes me more than a month to read a 200+ pages book but this book is so interesting that I read it within the week I bought it!! I recommand this book to 8th graders to 10th graders... Because it's my first summer reading for my high school.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hilariously heartbreaking trip to HS, even for adults!
Labeling "Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes" a Young Adult title does it a bit of a disservice, since it can also be a nostalgic (and safe) trip back to high school for... Read more
