This book is so well written!! Marya Hornbacher holds nothing back. I bought this for a study/reference book and learned much more than I imagined I would. I ordered another book she wrote just because this one was so incredibly good that I want to read more of her writing. She is definitely not fishing for pity here and for anyone that has ever considered becoming an anoretic or bulemic...this book will change your mind real quick, I'm sure. 5 stars for this one!!!
I absolutely loved reading this book. A friend tol me about it. It's all I thought it would be and so much more. For many people, both male and female who don't have issues with food and or know someone, a loved one who does this book is for everyone to pick up and read. It's explains what many people with an eating disorder face. Don't worry, you are not alone. Don't be afraid to ask others to help you towards those positvie steps in recovery.
This book is raw and sugarcoat-free: it tells the brutal and shocking reality of eating disorders and the nature of this kind of slow, self-inflicted suicide. Having been in this situation, I can only thank my lucky stars I've made it out alive. Sufferers face a life-long struggle, and there is no piece of literature that is more true and to-the-point than this one. If you or a loved one have experienced the horror of an eating disorder, you owe it to yourself to pick this book up: to understand and be enlightened.
For whatever that’s worth. The edition I got was in great shape, fit the description precisely
