5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, 25 April 2004
By A Customer
When i read reviews were people say books were "a great read" or that "icouldnt put the book down" I always think that they sound too cliqued. Tobe perfectly honest I think that what I wrote above agrees 100 percentwith this book. I bought it only this morning and have read it in only oneday. I loved the characters in this book and i can relate to most of them.I think that this book can change peoples perception of the world and thathaving more than an inch of fat on your body is fine because someone outthere loves you bo matter what your size as we find out in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars How Good Is This Book????, 26 Oct 2004
When I read this book, I was very self conscious about my weight, as most people are. After reading t, I realised that even overweight people get chances in life, just the same as anyone else. I recommend you read this book, whether you're a teenager with body issues, someone looking for a feel-good book, or just really bored with nothing else to do!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brill book U MUST READ IT, 20 Aug 2003
This is one of the best teenage books i've read in a long time.
Virginia the main charicter in this book with a larger then avrage body. Has to go through lots of difficult things a boyfriend who doesn't like to be seen with her in school. A brother who has been accused of date rape. The pressure of her parents to lose weight. And of course her pritty sister and a stud of a brother she finds in possible to live up to. This books deleivers a lot of laughs ie "riding the mope in public" your'll know what im talking about if u read it. And of course "fat girl code of conduct". Overall this is a brill teenage book which I RATE A MILLION OUT OF 10!!!!!!
