 Rating:  - astonishing!When i first saw this book at my local public library i thought "that looks like a really weird book" and only people who have or have expirienced anorexia read books like this one. But the next time i went to the library i saw it again and decided to give it a second chance.. What do you know i couldn't put it down it was such a great book! Blythe is an exceptional character who's struggle with anorexia felt so real. This book needs to be known because hundreds of ... Read More Rating:  - Not what I thoughtThis book was not about what I thought it would be. She barely talks about having an eating disorder. Its more about her life with her friends, family, and school, which is fine, but thats what most teen books are about. I think that The Best Little Girl in the World gives a better understanding of what having an eating disorder means. Rating:  - Worth the read, a little too fluffed.Aside from a minor time inaccuracy (within the first couple pages) the author's diary approach seemed a bit unauthentic. Perhaps I am too far removed from being so young, but even as the book moves on I wonder if I teen would really write so... young-like? Rather than wanting to cry "Eat! Eat!" by the end, I wanted to cry "Mature! Mature!" Getting past these things I did enjoy reading the book. As with many of these books she just seems to fall into her disorder, and it is obvious here. Read More Rating: - Amazing.Morgan Menzie's Diary of an anorexic girl is truly amazing and heartfelt. It is by far one of the best diaries that i have ever read. It goes deep into Blythes descent into Anorexia and to her recovery. I used to anorexic, so this truly touched me. Though it may be triggering to someone who is still battling an ED it is worth the Read. Rating: - Talk About Real!!!Morgan Menzie's book was the first diary of an eating disorder I read, and is the reason why I continue to read more ED books. She unlike many ED authors talked about things other that just her eating disorder, such as relationships with friends, family and boyfriends. It's not a book that's all about anorexia but does emphasize more so than other subjects in her diary. In her book, I believe she cover about mmm... three or four years, I really can't remember. Anyway it's a long period ... Read More |
