Tween Magazine: Book Review “They Said I Was Too Thin” (no sex, humor) by this guy (this.guy20@yahoo.com) Summary: Satire of review for a book about anorexia that might appear in a magazine geared towards tweenage girls… Anna Rexie’s book “They Said I Was Too Thin” explores her real life battle with eating disorders. She tells of how she started counting calories when she was nine; and how, when she was eighteen she was five-feet seven-inches tall and weighed seventy- four pounds by making herself vomit ten minutes after every meal. She talks about sniffing glue to prevent herself from experiencing the feeling hunger. She explains the effect using multiple diet drugs simultaneously had on her body. A cautionary guide against extreme weight-loss; the book offers a highly detailed in-depth look at the measures some girls and women go to in the quest for thinness. This book did, however, receive a number of warnings from health experts due to its very detailed explanations of how the author hid her eating disorders and how she obtained illegal and potentially dangerous weight-loss drugs. For that reason its sales have been banned by a number of retailers since is cab be viewed as “how to guide” for anyone trying to lose a lot of weight fast.
