- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an excellent, honest account of a young man's recovery from anorexia. The book covers his hospitalization, relapse, and second hospitalization. I liked the fact that the relapse was covered in the book, since too many of these kinds of memoirs do not address that issue. The inner voice of anorexia was also well described. I would recommend this to anyone with an eating disorder or who loves someone with one, as well as any clinicians or students interested in working with clients with eating disorders.
