Commentary During Books Eggs
Nine-year-old David has recently lost his mother to a freak accident, his salesman father is constantly on the road, and he is letting his anger out on his grandmother. Sarcastic and bossy 13-year-old Primrose lives with her childlike, fortuneteller mother, and a framed picture is the only evidence of the father she never knew. Despite their differences, David and Primrose forge a tight yet tumultuous friendship, eventually helping each other deal with what is missing in their lives. This powerful, quirky novel about two very complicated, damaged children has much to say about friendship, loss, and recovery.Be Specific About Epithetical Books Eggs

Such an amazing book! One of Jerry Spinellis best books!This book is basically pointless, but it is very good!!!!!!
This book was interesting how David said in the beginning, "I don't even like eggs..." I just got me hooked right away. I just couldn't stop reading it with Sada.
Reading a story where the two main characters are supposedly friends, yet treat each other so horribly, isn't my idea of a good time. Primrose was especially nasty (I had a childhood friend whose father had left the home and whose mother was an alcoholic, always passed out on the couch when we went to visit - she was a nice girl, so can't figure out the reasons P was so nasty, despite the book trying to imply it was because of her home situation) and David needed some severe discipline to remedy
I loved Eggs. Loved, loved, loved it for its injured soul and complicated characters and simple imagery. I can see why many readers were put off by it and why its viewed as one of his minor novels: theres a darkness and coarseness to the book. Its characters are often unpleasant, and theres no riveting plot or easily summed-up moral.The central characters of Eggs are nine-year-old Dave and thirteen-year-old Primrose. Both are dealing with some parental loneliness: Daves mom died in a freak
Very good book for young kids. It has some tough hurdles for them to work through.
