Fat Girl Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The author, full of bitterness and self-loathing, writes about growing up as a fat child. She had a terrible childhood. Sad, sad woman; sad, sad book. "

" I remember liking this book, but I don't remember exactly why. I guess I just enjoyed reading it. "

" I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this book. It was brutally honest. I appreciate the honesty. Well written. "

" The funny thing is, I thought this book was written by one of the other doctors that practice in the office I go to. It was not, just the same name. That was the whole reason I was interested in this book. This book was ok, but there were some parts Im sure she could have left out. But I could understand this women. She was eating becasue she was empty inside and wanted someone to love her. "

" This book could have been a powerful essay. I found it hard to finish the book but I did. This is a story of a child eating her feelings, pain, and loneliness. Moore descriptions of food, her grandmother, and grandmother were very detailed and somewhat unneeded for the story. She spent a lot of time telling these childhood stories and then skipped over the rest of her life. She talked about the abuse from her grandmother and mother but it did bother me that no one noticed this especially since she spent so much time at the pool, in shorts for gym, and in skirts for school. This is just a really sad book, depressing really, and i'm glad to be done with it. "

" Well-written and brutally honest. The author survived a harsh, abusive childhood and dispels many of the myths that exist about fat people. "

" Nothing less than brutal honesty. I highly recommend this for all those that grew up less and perfect and were haunted by it. I was devastated and saddened, but it was also refreshing in its' candor. Not for the faint of heart. I did cry during a few chapters. "

" A good book, quick read, mildly disturbing and makes you think. "

" I really liked this book, but it was heartbreaking how much the author hated herself. This is definitely NOT a pro-fat book, so I wouldn't recommend it to people who are looking for that genre. "

" a little discomforting at times, the amount of self-hatred for the author's body unnerved me a little. i desperately wanted a happy ending for her. it was strangely difficult for me to read, perhaps because of the sheer honesty factor, and i couldn't really find a purpose to it. "

" strange. Only read this if you are or have been fat. I don't think normal size folks will 'get it'. "

" Gut-wrenching truth, with no holds barred. A sad, sad look at a troubled girl and the holes in her heart that will never be filled. Hard to forget. "

" This is an intense read. I loved the realistic and brutal self honesty. Chapter 1 features one of the greatest opening lines ever. "

" An intense quick read. Sad and honest and worth reading. "

" Very in your face memoir but a pretty good read nonetheless "

" It was a quick read. Really enjoyed it. "

" Disappointing. If the author had not already been working in the publishing world, I doubt this would have ever been published. "

" A moving story of a girl whose homelife was difficult. This is a tough autobiography to read but worth it. "

" This book isn't what you expect. It isn't uplifting or inspirational... it doesn't teach you to "love your curves" it's just a true memoir of a fat woman and what it's like to struggle with weight. It's nice to hear someone talk about the things that haunt you with an air of simplicity. "

" Don't waste your time reading this! "

" A great insight into the world of an overweight woman. The prejudices she deals with and how our culture treats and assumes things about the obese- she also has a really good sense of humor. It's a thin book so it goes by really fast. "

" I was able to finish it but only barely. It was tough, not my style of writing and I just found it to be really boring. It focuses on her childhood and family relationships while growup. Although sad, not so entertaining. "

" Another audio CD for my commute. I had no idea what it was going to be about, I needed something to listed to. It turned out to be pretty good read for my professional development. "

" So, so hard to read! It's intense, sad, disgusting, real-but I just kept cheering for this little girl! "

" I thought the book was amazing, angry, and uncomfortable. You can easily relate to the author's story if you struggle with food, but the message deep down is not really about food it's about how parents can damage a child. It's heartwrenching but a good read. "
