Title: My review.
Product review: I love this book because I can relate to it so well. I am female, competitive and have low self esteem issues. Marya Hornbacher writes about the same characteristics she has herself but on an entirely different level. Ms. Hornbacher has the ability to describe things EXACTLY as they were and exactly how she feels at that moment in the Interlude chapters. This book gives the reader an insight on how eating disorders can erode a ridiculously talented young woman (I am still amazed that she was only 22, 23 years old when she wrote it). It is not a snapshot of all eating disorder victims (quote: "So I get to be the stereotype: female, white, young, middle-class. I can't tell the story for all of us.") and should be read with the thought in mind that eating disorders can happen to anybody- the disfunction of the mind can happen to people you love.
