Skinny Women Are Evil : Notes of a Big Girl in a Small-Minded World

Summary: DISAPPOINTING!!
Review: First off,
I commend Monique for writing this book. It gives a little insight and a whole lot of laughs. I am happy that she is happy to be big and she dresses really nice for a woman of her size. I am also happy that she is confident in herself BUTTT....
1. This book could be very offending to skinny people. Some skinny people eat just as much but can't gain weight.
2. She claims she is happy but then went on to describe her failure after the journey to weight loss. If she had lost the weight she wouldn't mind being a skinny (...) she just CAN'T be one and she seems bitter about it.
3. If BIG women have so many men lined up at their doors, why isn't she married??
4. People can be big and healthy but she is not and I hate that she thinks she is. Anytime you have a double chin, you are gone overboard. If your metabolism is slow, I can emphathize, but if you eat and talk about food as much as this woman then I am soooo sorry for you.
5. Monique is NOT 220 pounds. She may have been at one point in her life but she looks closer to 300. Stop lying to yourself gurl!!
I am not a skinny evil one. I am a size 13 and very toned up with it. To look at me you would never guess that I was damn near 180 pounds. I exercise and eat in moderation. You can eat what you want and not be huge.I eat good food too, btu I don't down skinny women who choose tofu or healthier eating habits. If you are looking for laughs pick this one up. People who are already big will get bigger taking her advice.

Summary: Food Is Good
Review: I have not read the book but the subject is something i must talk about. there's nothing wrong with skinny girls and there's nothing wrong with big girls. i myself am a big girl. sometimes i don't like what i see and sometimes i'm proud 2 be considered healthy. it shouldn't matter what a person looks like as long as they're happy. i'm a chef and i know that society does push being thin a little too far. they say that eating certain foods is bad for your health when in fact it's not true. its not what you eat its how much you eat. if a big girl eats fast food once every three months thats not going to cause her to gain 50 pounds or so!!! same thing vice versa. so skinny girls who don't eat alot of food go eat something real fatty full of carbs and sugar and everything else they say thats bad for you and ENJOY IT! same things goes for us big girls.

Summary: Shouldn't positive body image extend to women of all sizes?
Review: I really wanted to like this book. I admire women who are comfortable with the bodies they have, regardless of what size or shape those bodies might be. However, I found the tone of this book to be insulting and rather hypocritical. Our society's treatment of overweight people can be incredibly cruel, but that doesn't make it okay to diss skinny women. I am a size four, and this book made me feel bad about myself in the same way that fat jokes make larger women feel. I found certain parts of this book quite funny (though I sometimes found myself wincing even as I was laughing), and I really admire Mo'Nique for the things she's overcome in her life. I also like her conversational prose style, but the pervasive attitude against skinny women who don't harbor some secret desire to be big really turned me off. Major kudos to Mo'Nique for loving the skin she's in, but she doesn't need to put other people down to express that.

Summary: IT NOT WHAT YOU DO IT'S HOW YOU DO IT
Review: I think that Mo'Nique has a problem with herself and trys to tell the world that she ok and its ok to be big. In my eyes its nothing wrong with being big or large but its how you carry yourself. You cannot walk around in life trying to make someone else feel bad to make yourself look good because when she gets home at night she probably cry herself to sleep. Now that being said if she wanted to make a point with Big Women or people in general she could should have to kept the point of how you can love yourself being big in a small world. Yes it is true that we live in a Barbie world and thin is in but in reality is not because I myself love dating big people but that does not mean that you have to put other down to make yourself feel good. This book has some good points but overall Mo'Nique needs to grow up and figure out what she loves about herself and STOP pointing the finger at everyone else(maybe thats why her husband left her).

Summary: You tell these skinny B/*-HES, MO'NIQUE!
Review: I understand her message that everyone needs to be comfortable with their body. I feel that the title of the book was so childish and the book was trashy. She wants people to believe that being overweight is healthy. I also hate when she uses the word skinny B**** that is crazy. Some of you may not agree with this ,but who cares it my opinion of the book.

Summary: Healthy Self-Esteem...
Review: Mo'Nique has crafted a funny semi-biographical book that had me laughing from start to finish. The overall message in the book is positive, motivational and encouraging for BIG girls. Mo'Nique has proven that no matter what she endured from childhood to her current success in Hollywood...the end result is a healthy dose of self-esteem! She is able to make light (no pun intended) of fat jokes, small airline seats, exercise trials and tribulations, dating perils and the evil skinny women. I enjoyed this light-hearted read that also included photos from her personal collection, a thin-o-meter, important years in big-girl history, how to identify the skinny evil ones, her favorite websites, a guide to getting the best grub in airports, dating tips, a who's who list of chubby men and big girls.

At any rate Mo'Nique is laughing all the way to the bank. U GO MO!!

Summary: The Book Is Good!
Review: This book can also be know as the Black Girls Bible. It tells the truth that Skinny Women are evil and can't be trusted. I just read the fisrt ten pages the day I bought it and I could not stop laughing. The fact is the this book is a must read for all big folks of any color. If you dont like language maybe this is not the book for you. You have to realize that this is Mo'Nique and she has never turned down a good bad word since the day she was born. Like myself, She has never turned down a meal and neither has any of my friends. So, Yes. Skinnny Women are evil and Conceded and there is no other way to put it.
