Fup is a duck. If that doesn’t make you want to read this book, then I got nothing to say to you.

A charming and well-crafted allegory that never really rises to anything more than that. Maybe I expected more from all the rave reviews from friends. Dodge has a Kesey-like love of rural California that shines in his prose, and the trio of main characters are a loveable bunch (as well as the antagonist wild boar), but there's nothing here that really socked me over the head, demanding the high praise that I've heard from so many. Still worth the read; it must be hard to craft such a tight novel in so few pages.

I only came across this by accident and I love Fup the duck. Cried a little, laughed a lot - it's a beautiful story!

Re-read this recently because it had been a while. It's still a fantastic little fable that manages a perfect combination of bad attitude and sweetness.

Like a hooker with a heart of gold who makes you laugh and doesn't stay too long.
