good book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
If you want a story or an autobiography as I did than no this is not a goog book. But if you know someone or are domeone who is struggling with anorexia nervosa than this is a good educational and self help book. It contains a strong belief in God which is fine by me. I recommend it for someone who may need help with this topic or may need to help someone else.
Excellent

I have read Christie's previous book and thought it was excellent. Along comes a second book and it is written at a more teen oriented audience which I believe is a crucial component in looking at the beginnings of eating disorder. Christie admits early on in her book that she is not sure why she is writing the book. She also explains that her spiritual side has developed from living this disease and that she feels the need to pass along her experiences. This book is well written, not technical and is a compassionate memoir. She pulls no punches and tells it like it is - does not glamorize the whole eating disorder thing and honestly tries to remember and reflect on the thought patterns as she re-reads some of the entries made in her journal during her struggles. I loved this book because it is down to earth and is aimed at the generation that needs it the most. Eating Disorders ARE NOT cool - Buy this book.
