Nancy Kolodny's reader-friendly writing style will be a welcome change for those who are seeking help but not finding it in typical scientific-type analyses. The letters from people suffering from Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia give the reader a marvellously comforting "you are not alone" feeling.

An absolutely must-read for anyone suffering from an eating disorder, or family and friends of same.

This book is a wonderful tool to help guide teens in making wise life decisions and avoiding the pitfalls of peer pressure. Teens and their parents can see parallels to their lives in the examples offered in the book. I am a member of a Juvenile Conference Committee, which hears cases of juvenile first-offenders, and we frequently mandate reading of this book as a way to help a first-offender keep from re-offending.
