Summary: A parent's point of view
Comment: As the parent of an anorexic teen I commend the author of this book for his courageous exploration of the nightmare world of eating disorders. Slim to None is a devastating story of family and personal trauma that makes real an illness that is often dismissed as silly and superficial. This book provides meaningful insight into the family interactions surrounding the disease and validates my own personal experience. Many of my friends who read this book found it difficult and disturbing. For me, it describes the reality I face on a day to day basis. I found most compelling the father's acceptance of his daughter's choice and fate. The author has defined with compassion the very difficult position of a parent in letting go with love. Ultimately, this book gives me hope.
I recommend this book to anyone who faces the crisis of a family member with an eating disorder and for those intimately connected with the issue. It is impossible to get inside the head of an eating disordered individual. I think Slim to None provides that insight and an opportunity for understanding as well.

Summary: A book that all Teenage girls should read
Comment: Anorexia is a disease that affects teenagers in every high school. Slim to None helps us to understand this terrible disease. It gives us ideas of some of alternative treatments that could help young girls overcome their obsession with food. Unlike the other books on eating disorders, Slim to None tells the reader exactly how she feels at the time of her deepest sorrows. This gives the reader a real idea of what this terrible disease is about and how it affects an individual both physically and mentally. This book is clearly going to educate readers in a way that no other book will be able to. Slim to None should be read by not only those directly involved with eating disorders, but by everyone. All high school libraries should have a copy available at all times.

Summary: What a waste.
Comment: That's all I can think of after plowing through this book. As someone who was there once silenced her granddaughter's complaints - "There were no fat thighs in Auschwitz. I was there." I bet there wasn't any anorexia, either.
