Pretty decent,
By
This review is from: Fighting for Life : Anorexia - The Road to Recovery (Paperback)
This novel was pretty good. The only reason I don't' give if five is it seemed similar to other books such as "The Best Little Girl in the World". But the plot moved smoothly enough along and the author seemed to know what she was talking about with the subject.It didn't wrap up all perfect and happy in the end which I also liked. If you like fiction novels dealing with eating disorders, then I would probably recommend checking this one out.

Living with an anorexic - a life line,
By
This review is from: Fighting for Life : Anorexia - The Road to Recovery (Paperback)
I found this book invaluable. My anorexic neice said it was the best thign she had read to explain what was going on inside her head. Wow - it was like lights going on. Really helpful ot be able to see the disorder from her point of view. I was floundering before I read this. I storngly recommend it to those of us desperate to help a loved one who is lost in anorexia and fighting to find their way out, or not yet ready to fight!
