Fat Girl : A True Story by Judith Moore

Fat girl is given many accolades but in reality it just doesn't live up to the hype. It is like reading a long detailed grocery list followed by menus from various restaurants with a bit of a story in between the chaos.

This story falls into an uninteresting, flat and emotionless ramble of words. The author is 20-40 pounds overweight but describes her "fatness" as if she were the mother on "What's eating Gilbert Grape."

She proclaims to have never had an eating disorder, yet she steals food and starves herself into a thinner self. Moore is unfocused making it impossible to get a grasp of her life story.

I can't not in good conscious recommend this book and will leave it grade less.


Grade: NONE [ can't recommend]
