The frank and funny look at living large in America will resonate with any woman who has obsessed over her body image (and who hasn't?)' Chicago Sun-Times 'Unlike most dieters in her position, Shanker's turned that frustration to good use, producing a feisty, funny book ... It details her weight-battling experiences while putting a persuasive case for being fat and happy: she's clearly both' Independent on Sunday 'Don't mistake this for a ten-step self-help program. Shanker's mad, and she's not going to take it anymore ... The writing is witty, the arguments cogent, and Shanker presents a winning persona. Her message is empowering' Boston Globe
