'Two Surface-dwellers. Two! He's a Fattypuff and you're a Thinifer. There's no doubt about it!' This is the tale of two brothers. Edmund is a little on the plump side and Terry is a bit of a rake. When they discover the countries under the Earth they are divided and sent to the warring kingdoms of the Fattypuffs and the Thinifers. The Fattypuffs eat hourly with light snacks in between. The Thinifers like nothing more than discipline and work six days a week. Whether you are a jolly Fattypuff or a driven Thinifer you'll be rooting for the brothers to bring peace to the countries under the Earth. Includes exclusive material: In the Backstory you can take the quiz to find out if you're a Fattypuff or a Thinifer!

„ Moderna fabelo por gejunuloj. Groteska satiro pri la vivo.
Preso kaj stilo bonaj sed multaj preseraroj. ”

Two brothers stumble across a strange underground land which is at war. One nation being made up of fat and lazy people the other of thin, miserly people.
Although decently written the more i think about it the less good it looks. There are a number of problems with it.
First the level of death and destruction which seems odd for a children's book of this sort. Second the protagonists really have no influence on the course of events and finally in a story with too such extreme elements the logical conclusion is the emergence of a happy medium but from what i can recall that doesn't happen.
Overall its ok but i have no idea what the author's point was or what he was aiming to achieve with it. ( )

This is a book from my childhood. I have fond memories of it from junior school. But the memories were only of the characters not of the story. Neither had I known that it was originally a book from France which turns out to be important. A book abour war, occupation and peace making. A good theme for a children's book and written to show the futility of pride in self-identified communities. Fattypuffs and Thinifers were the nationalists of their day. ( )

This book will always occupy a very special place in my heart. A classic children's morality tale involving two brothers, one fat, one thin. ( )
