![]() Peter, for his part, is headstrong but less bitter, a vast improvement over the Peter of the books. There are enough cute moments that we get the idea that even Peter, in between bouts of annoyance, is somewhat charmed. ![]() Fudge is still an annoying little brother, but he's a witty and well-meaning kid-sure, he busted the antique table, but all he wanted was to wrestle with his brother and sure, he extorted money to buy his parents an anniversary present, but COME ON! He's a little kid. Fudge himself was a total brat Peter was a self-righteous and disrespectful pomp Shiela was, even from her own perspective, completely dishonest, pretentious and unconvincing the Hatchers were overindulgent dupes (and the mother quite possibly a tranq addict). ![]() Her "Fudge" series suffered from another unforgivable flaw: lack of sympathetic characters (except, perhaps, for Jimmy Fargo and his father). ![]() Judy Blume has been oft-derided for her extremely pessimistic and hyperrealist (sometimes) conceptions of late childhood and early adolescence. ![]()
