This is an excellent book, a look at the insidiousness of eating disorders with a dash of cool fantasy thrown in. The concept of the Four Horsemen has been adapted to be more modern and relatable for teens, with just the right amount of humor thrown in for good measure. While there is a relationship...
Hunger was not was I expected. Not in the least. In some ways this is a good thing, in other ways, not so much.Death was a fascinating character, but unfortunately, he's the only secondary character who really stood out to me. Lisa was a great protagonist, if only because she was so flawed you could...
I liked this well enough and I get the idea behind the story and the main character and even the series. I had a hard time connecting with Lisa. Maybe it is because I don't have an eating disorder and haven't experienced what she is going through in the book. I liked the overall plot, her sufferi...
Oh boy did I hate this book when I first read it. I get to around page 40 and thought it was utter tripe and I also thought that the Author has just found every stereotype that she could of Anorexia and used it.

I hate to give this a bad rating when my problem is mainly that I'm just not the intended audience, but maybe I should warn others that could be reading the book for the wrong reasons. I realize it is a message book and is about an important subject. I hope it does help teens that may need the messa...
