I wonder if I can change that...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Anonymous, stand up for your opinion by at least giving us a name by which to address you. I might disagree with you, but that doesn't mean I, or anyone who reads this blog, will think less of you. I LIKE debate. 'Specially bookish debate.<BR/><BR/>I believe that the father is a poor representation of <I>religion</I> because he was using it as a business gimmick. He didn't treat his family well, and made very poor choices. Gayle and I were conversing in regards to whether the book was a good recommendation to conservative or religious audiences.<BR/><BR/>As for 'street cred' in Nick & Norah's. Yeah, I'd say you'd have to have some swearing to qualify for street cred. Oh, and Nick & Norah was better written. That helps too. <BR/><BR/>I'm guessing that you have some issues with four-lettered language. That's fine, but one must realize that some people DO talk like that. The beauty of novels is that, while fictional and through whatever filter of setting, they reflect REAL life. In real life teens swear. Some of them a lot. But not all of them. Which is why you find some teen novels with swearing, and others without.<BR/><BR/>As for the humor level in Eggs; it was amusing, at best. But that's just my opinion. As is everything else on this blog. Feel free to disagree with me anytime, but at least give me a name.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading,<BR/>JackieJackie Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142876691306805769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19660349.post-12747256851933312772007-09-22T05:45:00.000-07:002007-09-22T05:45:00.000-07:00You guys need to read more carefully, I think.

Nick and Nora has "cred" because it has a bunch of four-letter words? Give me a break. Plus Eggs is funny, funny (their new one, Dream Factory, even more so...I laughed out loud).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19660349.post-7438278272060836652007-09-07T15:06:00.000-07:002007-09-07T15:06:00.000-07:00Hmm...you're right the dad figure wasn't portrayed...Hmm...you're right the dad figure wasn't portrayed positively and was somewhat misdirected.

Religion was not portrayed favorably at all. That was one of the other problems I had with the book. The father was such a stereotypical pseudo-religious hypocrite.Jackie Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142876691306805769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19660349.post-71069433913234460532007-09-06T21:49:00.000-07:002007-09-06T21:49:00.000-07:00I read Scrambled Eggs at Midnight liked it but pro...I read Scrambled Eggs at Midnight liked it but probably wouldn't highly recommend it. It was okay, but Nick and Norah's was way more awesome and has more street cred. in my opinion.
