Rating:  Summary: The Boy Who Eats Worms Whole Review: "How to Eat Fried Worms," by Thomas Rockwell, tells the story of four boys. Billy and Alan make a bet that Billy cannot eat 15 worms in 15 days. Tom acts as Billy's "second" in the bet, with Joe acting as Alan's. Rockwell's set-up for the story is inspired in its simplicity, and he tells the tale with gusto. The contest turns into an all-out battle of wits and wills between the two teams--it's a sort of mini-epic whose plot contains some entertaining twists. It's also a great "gross-out" story, and Rockwell's characters really put their culinary imaginations to use as Billy attempts to achieve his goal. A hugely enjoyable comic tale that I recommend to readers of all ages.

I read it sometime in the 80's when I was a teen and I thought it was a good book and very amusing. It is about a boy named Billy who when hanging out with his friends winds up making a bet that he will eat 15 worms. I know it sounds like a gross story and probably sounds a little lame but this book is actually pretty good and boys and even some girls ages 8 and older should find this book entertaining and amusing and I highly recommend it.

Rating:  Summary: Funny for kids Review: I read this book when it originally came out in the 70s and found it to be funny with believable characters. I think kids today would also find it amusing except that with all the Fear Factors and clones I think some of the shock value of worm eating has been dissipated.
Since the lead character gets to cook the worms, it really isn't all that bad. Not as bad as the TV shows where even weirder things are eaten raw.
