Title: Insatiable - The Compelling Story of Four Teens, Food and Its Power by Eve Eliot ISBN: 1-55874-818-0 Publisher: Health Communications Pub. Date: 01 April, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.95 |

Summary: Don't bother.
Comment: This book is HORRIBLY written. The book jumps around, as everyone else has said, and is just very poorly written--the characters are flat and boring, the dialog is not believable, etc. A INFINITELY better book for teens on this subject is "When is Perfect, Perfect Enough?" by Nancy Rue.
Rating: 4
Summary: Real fiction
Comment: Jessica barely eats and admires her thin body, but then she ends up in hospital. Can she see the danger signs before it is too late? Samantha is always in control - including what she puts into her body - sometimes she cuts herself and feels better, but for how long? Phoebe overeats because she wants to be thin - can her new doctor help her? Hannah eats until she feels the pain go away and then purges all the pain. Will she get the helps she needs? Four girls with four serious issues with food - will they be able to help themselves get better?
Eating disorders are one of the scariest things you can deal with - either for yourself, or watching someone else goes through it. This book is brilliant because it loos at four of the most "common" forms of eating disorder and shows how it destroys the lives of the people suffering from them. If you have never known anyone with an eating disorder, or if you want someone to know about eating disorders then get them to read this book. Boys who have girlfriends/sisters/friends with eating disorders (or who they suspect have an eating dsorder)should check this book out because it goes to show how even the smallest joke can lead to a teenager starving herself to death (or eating too much instead).
I have to add one word of warning though - as other reviewers have pointed out this book is not the best written. The style of jumping between characters after a short time is distracting and frustrating at times as it can be hard to keep who is who straight in the beginning - but it does get better, don't get frustrated and give up. This is one of the most emotional books that I have read in the past six months, and I recommend it highly.
