Fat Chance

Summary: Learning More
Review: I chose this book randomely, and ended up reading it in one day. It was a great book. Its about a girl, who thinks she is overweight. So she tries many different ways to get skinny. However, she worries so much about losing weight, that she doesn't realize that it's getting out of hand, and if she doesn't stop, it might cost her her life. This book was really interesting, and I learned how dangerous it could be to diet. So, if you are looking to read a book that is based on a girl's everyday life, then I suggest you read this book.

Summary: I read this book in like One Day,
Review: I could really relate to this book, and I know alot of girls can too. It's not just about some girl with an eating disorder, but insecurity, lack of self confidence, and than the journey of overcoming all that to love yourself and be happy with who you are. I liked this book and I think all girls who have insecurities about their bodies should read it, it might help!

Review: I could relate to this book because I am an overweight teen. I have even thought about throwing-up after meal but have never tried it. This book really set me stright about doing that or even thinking I would .

Summary: Not very realistic
Review: I didn't like this book at all. I'm in seventh grade and I thought this book was very unrealistic. I think the author was using a lot of stereotypes. The girl, Judi, said that she read seventeen magazine all the time so she thought she knew everything about fashion. She kept relating everything to seventeen magazine. She is supposed to be in eighth grade and she got depressed because she thought she should be on dates during the weekends. She also got depressed because she wears size twelve (she is supposed to be tall) and her friend wears sizes 7 and 8. This author should have talked to some REAL eighth graders before assuming they all read seventeen and want to fit ino tiny tiny tiny sizes!!

Review: I enjoyed this book because it is easy to read and entertaining. I like how Judi's personality shows through even we only know about her through her diary. She is funny and has her amusing obsessions and quirks. But Newman still gets her point across in a very serious manner that eating disorders have to be taken seriously. I would recommend this book to anyone who knows people with eating disorders or anyone who is interested in them.

Summary: Great book!
Review: I had to read this book for AP psychology, everyone had to read a book with a psychological disorder in it. I thought this book was great. It was very informative to young girls who have bulimia, and it showed ways to cope with the disorder. The book was very interesting because many of the things that Judi (the main character) faces, I have had to deal with myself. I would definitely recommend this book to whoever wants to read a book that is hard to put down, and extremely entertaining.

Review: I loved this book, but at times it was very confusing. I thought it was kind of gross the way Judi and Nancy were throwing up and everything. I am never going to do this myself! Please read this: Most people will enjoy this book.

Summary: This Book made me think about my own life
Review: I read this book about two years ago, a time where I was thinking about my body and if guys would be attracted to me or not. I thought I was fat and there was no way anybody could get that out of my head. Then one day I went to the library to have some time to myself, well... basically that is all i had, I needed to get out of the house. I had no friends, and felt worthless, and outcasted. I wore a long black coat to school, even on the hottest days possible. I went to the library, checked out this book, and within 2 hours I had read the thing all the way through and was reading it again. I think that if it wasn't for this book, I would never have the friends I have now, and honestly be as popular as I am at school. I never thought that it would happen to me, but I actually felt like a somebody and realized that it comes from within for people to like you. Now I'm not scared to talk to guys, in fact one of my best friends is a guy
