Review: One of the few things I've come across about anorexia which blows the myths to pieces. Chris was not "the good child" nor was she a "perfectionist," nor did she have a lot of the attrbutes often pinned on people with eating disorders.

She describes frankly the hellish journey from anorexia through to bulimia nervosa, in calm monotone, with no miracles or drama- this wasn't glamourised.

What struck me about this particular autobiography was that she wasn't dramatising her situation, nor was she asking for pity or admiration. She was just telling it like it is, intelligently, honestly, and in a sense that would make people without eating disorders possibly understand a little more as to why people do this to themselves.

A must have on the bookshelf for any counsellor, family member, parent or friend who wants to try and help or understand someone with either anorexia or bulimia.
