"This candid first-person memoir evokes the innocence, imagination, and gullibility of youth. … Conveyed in the sparest of prose, the day-to-day drama and adventures present the sweet, pungent, and poignant tale of life in a large family. … Tucked within the charming misadventures and misconceptions of the "littlest one" is the finely tuned perfection of language. This is a careful translation in which nothing seems lost, and what is gained is the appreciation of a fresh, original voice."

"Moeyaert's appeal is complex. Readers, especially boys, will relate to the brothers’ adventures. The pace is slow, the tone is gentle, and the writing is almost poetic."
     —Voice of Youth Advocates

"Moeyaert laces the unaffected observations of his tag-along child self with the rueful, elegiac tones of the adult looking back. The result-wistful prose tinged with irony-is best suited to mature readers, similarly equipped to cast a net back on childhood memories."
     —Kirkus Reviews

"Brothers is the perfect sort of book for picking up and setting down before dinner, for reading before bed, for shoving in a backpack. It will certainly make you laugh and shake you head and wonder perhaps more than once, just how all seven of Moeyaerts made it to adulthood. If every memoir I read was this enjoyable then I think the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, most of us who had happy childhoods don't think we have anything to write about. Moeyaert easily proves us wrong with Brothers and hopefully will show a generation that it is okay to write--and read--about the good times."
