"Judy Blume's novel chronicles Peter's adventures living with his younger brother Fudge. It seems Fudge is the most stubborn creature alive, refusing to do pretty much whatever his parents need him to do. Often times Peter is used to change Fudge's mind in a "look what Peter is doing... bet you can't do that" kind of way, and it always works, since Fudge looks up to Peter so much. There is a predominate theme throughout the book involving Peter's turtle's struggles for survival."
"If I create a category in my booklists for humor, this is probably the first book I would add. My favorite line from the book is "Eat it or wear it" - of course, Fudge ends up wearing it (his cereal, that is). Peter Hatcher is the older brother of one of the most loud, obnoxious, trouble seeking brothers known to man - in a loveable way. Life with Fudge around certainly has it's surprising moments, to say the least. But somehow, Peter manages to survive to the next book...Superfudge!"
"I know I've read this book numerous times, but Judy Blume is such a great writer that I still enjoy it. Poor Peter, with the parents that don't understand him, the rotten little brother and the weird situations he ends up in, usually trying to save his parents from Fudge's situations. It seems most unfair when he is blamed for everything Fudge gets into. As an older sister, my sympathies lie with him!
I liked reading a story set in NYC. And even though it feels a bit dated, the writing holds up well."
"I haven't read this book for years, but found it in the audio book section and had to listen to it. The author does a good job reading it, though I am turning into an audio book snob and like when there are more distinct voices. I laughed at the same places that I did when I was a kid. Since Tim's 2 right now I also had a different perspective on how the mom handled Fudge. I always thought she was a softie and got mad at her along with Peter, but now I think I may have done some of the same things. I can tell you that if Tim has a younger brother that is as mischievous as Fudge, I'll keep an eagle eye on him. I'll also let Tim put a lock on his door if he asks. One that requires finger prints or a retinal scan."
