Rating:  Summary: HA! Wow am I amazed! Review: I ordered this book over Amazon.com, and I just got it yesturday. WOW! What can I say? This book is fantastic! I couldn't put it down the second after I read some of it. It makes you not want to go on a diet, it makes you feel good for who and what you are, and it also makes you want to be a better person and not be negative about the way you look or how someone else looks. If you buy it, you'll see what the heck I'm trying to say, k?
Rating:  Summary: No more diets! Review: I thought it was funny and certainly made me dispell any diet myths i might have heard. Very good reading!!!
Rating:  Summary: Gain a better body image and actually have fun with it! Review: If you have ever doubted your looks or just one part of your body, this book is for you. I think every woman but espicially teenagers should read this book. It gives you a normal way to view your body and all it's parts. You get an objective view on fashion magazines, models, actresses, thighs, breasts, etc. You get references to other books and organizations and some feedback and comments from real woman throughout the book. But what makes this so different from all other self esteem books is that it is funny! It is truthful and helpful but also funny and smart with drawings and cartoons that leave you saying " I am ok and i like myself." I reccommend this book to ALL women.
Rating:  Summary: Hmmm! Review: It was good over all. But I didnt like how they kept on dissing on skinny girls. They could have been more universal if they had written "There isnt a certain way to be. Just be yourself"
Rating:  Summary: Every teenage girl should read this book, and most women Review: Kaz Cooke is a friend to women everywhere. One of those friends who can tell you the truth and still make you feel better. The book covers issues like body image, advertising, make-up and beauty myths. It will give you a boost, as well as a laugh, and a lot of really useful, sensible information. It could just change the way you look at dieting, health, fashion etc. Lots of perspective and a breath of fresh air. There are plenty of cartoons, drawings and real life letters, tips on what to say to "the body police" and ideas on how to boost your body image, amongst other things. This book is a good counterpoint to the madness that young women go through every day. It's a sensible, mature healthy way to live and think.
Rating:  Summary: An inspiring look at issues relevant to modern women Review: Kaz Cooke is amazing, and this book proves it. Aside from being incredibly funny and well written, this book tackles some almost taboo subjects with a fresh, mature attitude. This book is brilliant for boosting your self esteem and helping you look at some things differently. Definitely one to read:)
Rating:  Summary: Laughter is the best medicine Review: Real Gorgeous is a well-rounded myth-buster about various aspects of the beauty and diet industries. The cartoons are crazy and humorous, the writing easy and witty. While definitely geared toward adolescents and young adults, the information isn't exclusively helpful to that age range. Recommended for any girls entering puberty or your Cosmo-obsessed friends who buy every new moisturizer & wrinkle-cream on the market. Actually, recommended to everyone just for the one cartoon about the devil and food.
Rating:  Summary: Real Gorgeous - The truth about Body & Beauty Review: The self-esteem booster book Real Gorgeous by Kaz Cooke is a fun way to learn more about yourself and others. The target audience is women, but it is suitable for men also. (It might humor them) The book helped me to overcome a false body image and accept my body the way it is. Actually, I love my body the way it is and this book contributed to my new outlook. I highly recommend Real Gorgeous to females from 15 to 150 years of age. It is funny, practical, and useful.
