Teenage Waistland door Lynn Biederman
I tried to read this book as I'm wont to read all young adult titles that feature fat kids either overcoming their weight (by losing weight) or fat kids accepting themselves as is. There have a been a slew of these over the past few years, and I've been chomping through them all. Most of them, I can't stand. I understand that I'm not the target audience but I don't like the over use of snark, slang, brand names or text language in my books. It takes me completely out of the story. Also, unlikable characters should have at least something that makes you want to cheer for them. Maybe I'm getting to old to read YA fiction, but this is definitely a book I CAN'T recommend.… (meer)
This book shows that over eating is not the only problem most over weight teens have. I liked that it is told from the ppoint of view of several teens.
Great story about four teens' struggle with obesity. Goes beyond the weight and into what makes them tick.
This book immediately grabbed my attention. I was so impressed by the way the authors handled the subject matter of teenagers with obesity. The serious subject matter was tempered at just the right moments with comic relief. The perspectives were fresh, the conflicts were very interesting and psychological. I highly recommend this book!
