I just reread this book and like it all over again. Sarah Byrnes stops speaking and is placed in a psychiatric ward. Eric "Moby" her best friend since middle school visits her daily to try to get to the root of what has happened. Sarah has burn scars all over her hands and face that she got during

a household incident when she was young. When the truth comes out that her dad is the reason for her injuries, things start to escalate. Eric has tried to prove his loyalty to Sarah a number of ways. First he tried to stay fat for her even after he started swimming with the team and losing weight. He also has always refused any outing where Sarah was not welcome. The book traces the relationship of the two from the beginning of their friendship. There are also several interesting subplots and characters. There is Mrs. Lemry, the strong progressive teacher and swim coach, who serves as a mentor to Eric. The subplot with Mark Britton and his religious beliefs and suicide attempt. The Ellerby's, the power hungry assistant principal, and the CAT class. For all that is going on in the book and the tidy endings despite all the messiness in the storyline, there is a lot of meat in this book to think about.

My older son read this in his eight grade English class this fall. It raised controversy from some parents who were concerned about some of the themes raised in this book (abortion, suicide, and religion to name a few). I tend to prefer that my son be discussing these themes in the classroom than
Despite my reasons for reading this book, I was barely passed the first chapter when I became completely enthralled in the story. The story is told from the perspective of Eric Calhoune (aka Moby). Eric was overweight when we was younger. He was also a bit of an outcast, and that is how he became friends with Sarah Byrnes, a girl whose face was terribly burned when she was three. Her father, a cruel man, didn't allow any reconstructive surgery, saying that growing up disfigured would make her tough. Sarah and Eric coped with the challenges of middle school together, and when Eric joined the swim team in high school, he ate even more so that he could stay fat for Sarah Byrnes. But as the story begins, Sarah Byrnes has been admitted to the hospital and is refusing to talk. With the help of his friend Ellerby, his swim coach Mrs. Lemry, and an old nemesis Dale, Eric has to figure out how to help Sarah Byrnes deal with a situation that seems unsolvable.
Crutcher captures the voices and trials of high school in voices that are authentic and complex. The issues that Eric, Sarah Byrnes, and others face are difficult ones, and Crutcher doesn't shy from the conflicting viewpoints that are raised in these debates. The story moves quickly, and for the final third, I could barely put it down. I wasn't surprised to learn in the author's sketch at the end of the book that Crutcher has worked as a family therapist and a child protection specialist. He clearly has firsthand knowledge of the struggles that he writes about.

I think I could write a one-word review of this book (obviously I've exceeded that already, but I'm making a point here). The problem is that if I drop this one word on you, you'll be like, "What?!" It's a racy word, and I think it might be okay to use it because it's not like I go
FAN-_ _ _ _ _ _ _-TASTIC. Seriously. I know a lot of people say that using foul language is the hobgoblin of little minds (along with routine), and that if you can't say it more creatively than you're a loser, but the situation called for it. Read this one-word review, and tell me which is better: FANTASTIC. The middle part of the first review had an impact, didn't it?
Here's why this book is FAN-_ _ _ _ _ _ _-TASTIC:
1. The characters are amazing. Crutcher used to be a child therapist, and he's got this stuff nailed down tight. I loved it, it was gripping, moving, heart-wrenching, and beautifully drawn. Everybody--Eric, Sarah Byrnes, his parents, friends, foes, everyone--was fully developed.
2. The plot is hands-down dynamite. There's angst, there's sports, there's all kinds of lovey-dovey beauty. Strong friendships, lies, fears, everything you need for a good hard-boiled story.
3. The themes are tough to handle, but complex and thought-provoking. I work at a camp for abused and neglected kids every summer, and I don't think I'll ever be the same. This book is reach-down-into-your-chest-and-rip-your-heart-out writing. I actually gave my sister a summary of what the book was about, I only got through two sentences before she broke me off and said she couldn't handle any more, it was too much. I said, "You read books where the protagonist is a rape victim, but this is too much for you?" (This was in reference to some books by Charlaine Harris). My sister said crimes against adults, although awful, are nothing compared with crimes against children.
Tough to read, but totally worth it. I'm going to have to go out and get every last one of Crutcher's books. The guy is FAN-_ _ _ _ _ _ _-TASTIC.

I was intrigued by the concept of this book when it was presented to me: fat boy and deformed girl have been friends since childhood, united by their outsider status. What happens to the friendship when fat boy slims down and starts to get popular?
But that wasn't what this book was about at all.
Another thing that bothered me is the degree to which adults ultimately solved all the problems in the book. It's supposed to be a coming of age novel, about teenagers making their first forays into adulthood, but it seemed like in the end, all the characters were infantilizined by the adults swooping in to the rescue.
And finally, I was disturbed by the way that every Christian in the book (except the sainted Episcopalians) was portrayed as an amoral hypocrite. Laying it on a bit thick, perhaps?
But that wasn't what this book was about at all.

The formerly fat boy never really considers abandoning his friend, so instead the conflict revolves around a fairly ludicrous and melodramatic storyline involving horrific child abuse, catatonia, cross-country pursuit, and a knife-wielding villain lurking in dark shadows. I guess I can see why kids would be grabbed by that kind of drama, but it all seemed a little silly and far-fetched to me, frequently depending on HUGE coincidences.

out life. I don't hate it as literature, I hate the very fact that it exists. Crutcher handles the topics very sensitively. I think the principals in each book are very similar. Mr. Mautz from this book is a clone to Mr. Caldwell in [Chinese Handcuffs], which I'm currently reading. But something that does bug me are the liberal politics interspersed in the books. I started to read [Whale Talk] and in all 4 of these books, I find that the bad guys are stereotypes ... conservative, sometimes Christian jocks. It's tiring. I could use a good story without any political soapboxing. It definitely detracts from the story. Show Less

The misleading title suggests something on the order of a romantic comedy to be made in 2012 starring a be-fatsuited Ryan Reynolds as an ad exec who must try his hardest not to lose weight so that his heft-conscious best friend, played by Sandra Bullock, can look comparatively slinky in time for

her wedding, yet she falls in love with Reynolds and—well, you get the point. At any rate, Crutcher’s novel is not a romantic comedy. A complex tale of suffering, abuse, love, and friendship, his novel concerns two best friends—the swimmer Eric Calhoune (cruelly nicknamed “Moby” because of his girth) and Sarah Byrnes, who has horrible scars on her hands and face because of a childhood incident the true nature of which is revealed later in the story. Eric tries to get Sarah Byrnes (who insists on the addition of her homophonic last name) to snap out of a sort of catatonia and eventually discovers the horrible, systematic abuse she has suffered at the hands of her satanic father, Virgil Byrnes. A subplot about a Christian fundamentalist boy whose girlfriend has an abortion (as it turns out on his urging) reflects the early-90sness of this novel but remains in its own melodramatic way moving.

I particularly like the fact that adults to play a pivotal role in this book. Most Young Adult books keep the adults in the background, so as to allow the young characters more freedom.

I guess I don't really care for the way that Crutcher writes. This is the second book I've read by him, and neither of the books I've read by him have really spoken to me. I just don't really like them at all. They're alright, but they always seem to
I'd say that Eric himself was a good character, but he had some flaws. For one, he was forever trying to get Mark's beef, and generally driving everyone in the vicinity insane. Not that Mark wasn't a total ass, but he made up for it, just a little, in the end. Now Eric though, he drove me insane the entire time. I could not get him to shut up. Really. It was that bad. His character's voice is literally in my head now. He won't shut up. But I guess some people look for that in a character. Not me. Never.
I really would have liked to have read some of the story through Dale Thorton's point of view, because it seemed like he could have been an amazing character. He was just so.....interesting. And that's what I look for in a character. One's that'll keep me interested. He did. I wish that this book had been as fast in the beginning as it was in the end, because I think that would've improved the book somewhat. Not that we'd ever get over Eric's voice in my head!

super long - only 295 pages - so I was able to read it rather quickly. I guess that's a good thing, but a short book always means that you get to the end faster and spend less time with the characters than you would have liked. That was definitely true for this book. The main character, Eric, is an athlete (not something I can relate to, having left behind the dread and exhaustion of middle school sports and summer swim teams 2 years ago). Though he is still overweight, he is a really good long distance swimmer and kicks butt. His best friend, Sarah Byrnes, has a really badly scared face, and is as tough as anything. As in any good book, there is more to them than either of their appearances. Their friendship is really interesting - not in the gossipy/secrets way, but in the I-need-your-friendship and lean-on-me way. Other characters include Eric's swimming coach (my favorite character), the guy who bullied Sarah Byrnes and Eric in middle school, and Sarah Byrnes' father.

I really wanted to like this book. The synopsis was so promising: Sarah Byrnes, whose face was disfigured in a fire at the age of three, befriends a boy who is an outcast because of his weight. As Moby, the boy, joins the swim team and gets in shape, the friendship is threatened. Except that's not

actually what the book is about. Moby is the narrator, and the book is as much about his life on the swim team, his current events class, and his clash with a Christian Fundamentalist at his school. The friendship and conflict with Sarah developed before the main part of the narrative, and though her mental breakdown fuels the plot, Moby's life and experiences receive far more weight. I was frustrated that just when the book developed some real emotional resonance, it devolved into a gratuitous action scene that strained the story's teetering credibility past its breaking point. This might be easier to forgive if Sarah had been more involved in the crazy denouement, but we hear her story mostly through others' words. The book really should have been her story, and I constantly felt that she had been displaced by the narrator's far less interesting character. Show Less
