Well. It was far more conventional and lukewarm than I expected, but it's probably a fault on my end, since I have many problems with the american “fat culture”. I'm not gonna go into details and I'm only mentioning it so you know there's a bias against the topic in my three stars. I'm sure tons of people (pun sort of intended) will find this book inspiring, so yay. Good on them, really.

What I will say is that the book is very well written, and the style kept me going even when the plot wanted to make me stop. I'm not a fan of the ending, though.

All in all, could have gone without reading it, but didn't feel like a waste of time.
