### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent narration and engaging story
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2016*

I don't have much patience for regular speed on audio books, so as usual, I listened at 1.25x, which was perfect.A monk, the narrator of the story, is amusing with his asides and humor in telling the story. Couple this with the outstanding voice narration of Michael Page, and the story is taken to a higher level of enjoyment. Page seamlessly voices the numerous characters where males sound male, females sound female, and witches sound witchy!Speaking of witches, Baba Yaga steals the show. What a hoot she is! She is a perfect counter to the prim and proper-ness expected in civilized society, and her character made the book for me.There are so many different levels to this story -- there is the fantastical and the the practical, smoothly woven together by Maguire to create something for everyone to enjoy. Folk tales and fairy tales are good for all ages, and though this is categorized young adult, there is definitely adult appeal in Egg and Spoon.While the reading could be challenging for some younger readers, the richly drawn characters and setting, along with a basic plot that's highly unusual and interesting, are going to keep readers engaged. Advanced readers are likely to get a different experience from others because it's really quite a complex story with statements on social injustice and inequality, the environment, the life, death, and more.The book goes longer than it needs to with some extraneous and seemingly random parts which could have been left on the cutting room floor. I feel like had I read this instead of listened, there definitely would have been some skimming. Even so, it's a wonderfully creative story and listening was time well spent. I have several of Gregory Maguire's books on my TBR shelf, and Egg and Spoon is incentive for me to move them to the top of the pile.Thank you to Audiofile / SYNC Audiobooks for Teens free summer audio book program for providing this download with absolutely no strings attached.

    Over written, only makes 1/2 sense.  To many stories going on in one book.  Yuck
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018*

This book started out o.k.  1/2 way through it had so many other stories going on that it wasn't fun to read.  I am having to force myself to finish this heap of run on sentences, verbose discriptions, and totally insane story plot.  Baba Yaba doesn't belong in this story and neither does the snow dragon.  To much added and nothing really developed.  I dislike this book.  It lost its appeal about 1/2 way.  As a kindergarten teacher for 37 years, I can tell you this would not fly with children.  Or few adults.  His loading of sentences with every large word he can find spoils this.  It gets so heavy with words it's hard to drag the story along. Not a book I would recommend nor want to keep.  waste of so many words.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A masterpiece of literature!
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2014*

Every sentence is a pleasure to read.  His prose are superiorly entertaining.  MaGuire has the gift of using irony, humor, sarcasm and wit in everything he writes.  His characters are smart and speak volumes for all social classes and their challenges.  MaGuire makes you think.  His characters are strong. His characters shine with common sense and the wisdom that is found by living and making due with what fate hands them.  "Egg & Spoon" is a shining light on the goodness of humanity while facing difficult circumstances.  Like all of Maguire's books, "Egg & Spoon" is a thinking persons book.  It's more than just fantasy.  It's real life sufferings being met by the best of the human spirit.  "Egg & Spoon" is a must read for all ages.  If your a young adult there are many life lessons to be learned.  If your an adult with all the trappings and stresses thereof, then it's a soothing tonic of escapism with brillant writing.  MaGuire does not patronize nor talk down to his audience, he elevates them by engaging the reader to think and "read between the lines" with a wink and nudge to both the young and old.  "Egg & Spoon" is quite simply, a brilliant piece of literature on a higher plain than the recent norm in the young adult genre.  Teen werewolves and dystopian societies are entertaining.  We all enjoy junk food from time to time, however it's nice to finally be fed from the hands of a gourmet chef.  "Egg & Spoon" is pure gourmet literature that should be studied in classrooms everywhere from here after.
