Book Reviews of Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia (P.S.)
Book Review: excellent book, tragic story
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the tale of an intelligent, thoughtful, considerate young woman who nonetheless falls prey over and over again to her disorder. This book leaves the reader hoping very much that Ms. Hornbacher will be able to turn the massive amount of brainpower that goes into a book as stunningly evocative and effecting as this one to healing her own disorder.
The best book on E.D. out there.
Book Review: Stunning
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is written by a writer. Stark and insightful, Wasted makes for compelling reading. In the spirit of Plath and Cardinale.

Book Review: An amazing look into the life of a person with an E.D.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would suggest this book to anyone with an E.D., or anyonr who knows someone who suffers from one. This is a raw, unfiltered look at the life of an eating disorder sufferer. Ms. Hornbacher's ability to effectively and intelligently convey the thoughts and feelings she went through, during her struggle, is beyond exceptional. This is a MUST READ.Book Review: brutally honest and very well written
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has been criticized in the past from those suffering from an eating disorder as rather triggering and romanticized. I disagree. This is the best memoir and ED related novel I have come across, and I have read dozens. She's honest, her experiences described in great detail, and it's written beautifully. I highly recommend it.Book Review: Very affecting book
Summary: 5 Stars
As a bulimic, I agree with some other reviewers that this book is triggering. It also, however, got me to look at my problem more seriously. It's helped me see just what rock bottom for an ED looks like, and I love that she didn't sugar-coat the ending. It's so honest.
I'm now talking to a therapist about my ED.
