 One of the best July 20, 1999

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.
Once you start, you just can't stop. July 12, 1999
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.
 Wonderfully written book about surviving through hard times June 24, 1999
Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes is a touching story that made me both laugh and cry. Chris Crutcher sucessfully incorporates humor into his tale as he teaches his readers that we all have troubles in our lives. In Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, Crutcher shows his readers that it is possibles to overcome our struggles while also showing them the importance of forgiveness, friendships and love. Crutcher's main character, Eric, is a truly likable character whose witty comments had me laughing out loud many times. I would recommend this book to anyone.
 I didn't like it.. June 16, 1999

I didn't like this book. It was too weird and spooky for me. I couldn't even bring myself to finish it! Still, my friend read it and enjoyed it, so maybe I'm paranoid. Give it a try and see what you think-if you don't like it after 4 chapters, then stop reading it!
THIS IS ONE FANTASTIC BOOK!!!!! May 26, 1999
I am currently not finished with this book but already I know it is one of my favorites. In the simplest terms and most convenient definition, it is a great book and I totally recommend it! checyalater
