Title: Comforting
Product review: Hornbacher has created a touching memoir with this book. Not only is it extremely easy for victims of eating disorders to relate to her text, but she explains the emotions of eating disorder victims in a way that allows the victims to comiserate with her and those individuals who know a person with an eating disorder to get an idea of where this self destruction comes from. However, the best part of this book is the end. This is not like other eating disorder memoirs where the author or narrator asks for the sympathy of the reader, rather, Hornbacher almost forces people with eating disorders to get a grip on their situation and get help, to learn from her terrible experiences before enduring them themselves. An excellent book that I had a hard time putting down and missed when it was over.
