5.0 out of 5 stars 5 reasons to buy this book, 5 Mar 2009
By Claire Denholm "clarab" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
1. Because this is not a diet book. It's a very well-informed, intelligently-written, very funny read that will enhance any bedside table, coffee table or loo shelf. 2. Mimi Spencer writes with a wit that makes you snort embarrassingly when reading her words on public transport. 3. She makes you want to read chunks of the book aloud to all your dearest friends. 4. She has created a smorgasbord of hints and tips that can work for anyone, anywhere, at whatever stage of life and girth. 5. This book makes you feel good about yourself. Really.

4.0 out of 5 stars 101 Things to do before you Diet, 8 Jun 2009
By Jellbones (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
A very amusing book that tells us in a zany way the things we know already about losing weight. Eat less, exercise more and drink water. I so wish that Chapter 101 had been Chapter 1. I would most certainly read Mimi Spencer again and look forward to her next book.

I just received this book and already I can't put it down. Loads of readable fun hints and tips. I guess it's never too late but where was this book 10 years ago?!

5.0 out of 5 stars a must have
Brilliantly written. Full of warmth and humour. An excellent present for a friend or something to spoil yourself with - but cheaper than a pair of Manolo Blahniks.
