Review: COULDNT PUT IT DOWN !
this was one of the few times when I literally had to give myself a time when I would stop reading, or Id have stayed up all night reading it. its very easy reading and the style isnt hard to digest at all, but, it has a sneaky way of gettin gunder your skin and really hitting you in the heart.
its the story of a kid, growing up with an emotionally unstable mother.
Dont want to give anything away, so I'll just say this, dont be fooled by its playful and unassuming style, because its about as profound as they come.
A differant kind of "coming of age" story.
beautifully written..........
~~~ Oh and one more thing. the authors insight into the mind of a kid growing up like this, is right on the money. If she isnt from this background, than shes a mind reader.
really an excellant book!

Summary: Stayed up all night to finish!!! An EXCELLENT book.
Review: Don't start this in bed like I did. From page one, I was completely taken in by the voice of Abby. It's shockingly fresh & honest. I was laughing, then crying, then laughing & crying. This is exactly what I want from a book. I felt I was living someone else's life. I hope the author writes a lot more.

Summary: Profound and moving
Review: Fischer's debut novel is gripping, witty, lyrical, and healing. When you're done reading it, you'll want to go back and immediately read it again. The narrator, Abby, is honest and funny without being precious, and she takes the reader on a wondrous trip.
Rating:
Summary: impressive debut
Review: Fischer's remarkable novel had me from page one. I couldn't stop reading it. Abby's voice is still in my head - I won't forget her for a long, long time.

Summary: A Must Read!
Review: From page one, An Egg on Three Sticks, swept me back into the world of adolescence. I relived the heartache, the emotion of desperately wanting to fit in, and the importance of a friend-especially when life is difficult at home. Through it all, I alternated between laughing and crying as Abby's story unfolds. Highly recommended!
Rating:
Summary: Anticipate, empathize, laugh
Review: I could read and listen to Abby forever. For anyone having any association with depression, this will ring so true. For anyone without an understanding of depression, here is your exposure.Oh, and the book is really funny, too.

Summary: The perfect book for a summer night
Review: I couldn't sleep so I decided to just take a peek at the first few pages of this book, hoping that would tire me out. Instead, I finished the last page as the sun came up. My 15-year-old daughter grabbed it as soon as she woke up and did not put it down until she had finished. We agreed that Abby's voice was perfect, the story was heart-wrenching, and the writing was excellent. We're looking forward to the author's next book!

Summary: Wow! What a great book!!
Review: I just finished this book. It is a superb novel. The author writes about a thriteen year old girl in a voice that reminded me of myself when I was that age. Abby is a great, fully developed character who is trying to deal with the loss of her mother at a time where she needs her mother the most. Abby tries to pull off being tough, but deep down, one knows she is full of anger and guilt. I related to this book and struggles I had with my own mother. A really great book! I highly recommend it.
