 Disappointment in the Making December 11, 2008
After reading Wasted, I made the mistake of assuming that this story would be just as satisfying to read. However, I felt that I was reading a diary of an immature teenage girl who really had nothing to discuss. There was nothing spectacular about this book. It's just about a girl wasting her time. The 'climax' points are vague and I felt that I was outside looking in and not getting a clear picture of what was going on inside this girl's mind.
 astonishing! August 15, 2008
When i first saw this book at my local public library
i thought "that looks like a really weird book" and only people who have or have expirienced anorexia read books like this one.
But the next time i went to the library i saw it again and decided to give it a second chance..
What do you know i couldn't put it down it was such a great book!
Blythe is an exceptional character who's struggle with anorexia felt so real.
This book needs to be known because hundreds of teenage girls have this disease and this book will help them in a way.
I give this book 5 stars!
 Not what I thought May 19, 2008

This book was not about what I thought it would be. She barely talks about having an eating disorder. Its more about her life with her friends, family, and school, which is fine, but thats what most teen books are about. I think that The Best Little Girl in the World gives a better understanding of what having an eating disorder means.
 Worth the read, a little too fluffed. December 16, 2006

Aside from a minor time inaccuracy (within the first couple pages) the author's diary approach seemed a bit unauthentic. Perhaps I am too far removed from being so young, but even as the book moves on I wonder if I teen would really write so... young-like? Rather than wanting to cry "Eat! Eat!" by the end, I wanted to cry "Mature! Mature!" Getting past these things I did enjoy reading the book. As with many of these books she just seems to fall into her disorder, and it is obvious here.
I liked it.
Amazing. May 15, 2006

Morgan Menzie's Diary of an anorexic girl is truly amazing and heartfelt. It is by far one of the best diaries that i have ever read. It goes deep into Blythes descent into Anorexia and to her recovery. I used to anorexic, so this truly touched me. Though it may be triggering to someone who is still battling an ED it is worth the Read.
