A Book I Once Liked but Don't Anymore: Double Fudge (Revi...
4 years ago
SPOILER ALERT
The Series
Okay let me give quick rundown of the series this book is from. This book is from a series that is unofficially called the Peter and Fudge series. It doesn't have an official name despite each book being canon.
Anyways the series is about 2 brothers, Peter and Fudge. Peter is the older of the 2 and their family's misadventures. It's a realistic fiction slice of life series basically.
So Peter and Fudge belong to the Hatcher family (Made up Mom, Dad, Peter, Fudge, and their baby sister Tootsie as well as their dog Turtle) with Peter being the "normal" one and Fudge being the mischievous one.
Fudge is well... He causes a lot of behavioral trouble and Peter has to deal with it along with the rest of the family.
Peter is, the "normal" guy who doesn't cause so much trouble as Fudge.
The Book
Anyways, let's get to the book in question Double Fudge. What it's mainly about is Fudge's sudden obsession with money. I mean, he talks about it all the time and is really obsessed and greedy for it.
While being obsessed and greedy for money isn't a good thing it's certainly okay to be interested in obtaining it.
Fudge gets pretty annoying and obsessed about money in terms of him bringing it up all the time to the family especially Peter. So to address this issue they basically do virtually... Nothing. They don't suggest that he get a job, or learn how to budget, or learn how to start a business like a lemonade stand to EARN the money.
What I Think
Will finish later.
I once liked this book for the adventure it brought to the reader but now I realize how bad it is.
For one Peter really isn't a likable protagonist. He worries and cares about every conceivable negative thing other people could think of him. EVERYTHING. He worried about people not liking his choice of shoes, he worried about being seen with his twin cousins and being embarrassed, he worried about the culture of New York not being fond of homeschooling which his twin cousins were, etc..
The guy is just such a pushover in terms of what people think about him. It's like "Dude, have a freaking backbone!" There comes a point in time where you just have to not worry about what arbitrary people think arbitrarily about you!
Like, if the people and what they think of you doesn't matter, you don't fucking worry about it!
