Negative Positive
Title: **** A Plump Health Guru? (4 stars, the 1 star is a typo) ****
Review: Inside the book Dr. Andrew Weil provides information in a clear way (I like the way he writes) that should help his readers age in a healthy way. But for the front cover I subtract one star. The doctor tries to hide how big and round he really is on the cover by dressing in black. And the big white beard makes his body covered in black appear smaller relative to his head, an illusion of fitness. By not admitting that he has a weight problem Dr. Weil may tend to redefine obesity in an unhealthy direction (maybe that is why he is so popular with his "large" public). Weil should demonstrate some real self-discipline (meditating apparently is not enough) to his readers by eating less and excercising more (even if that means one less book).
Is the review positive or negative?
