Good books make you analyze your own life and it did just that. Though I could never become a vegertarian (they had some good points but.) I love eating juicy burgers way too much. No interent, TV, phones and just really think.

Sometimes you have to turn everything off. I actually felt compelled to take a look at what kind of junk I'd been putting in my own body and how dependent we all are on technology. Along her journey you can tell she feels (dare she say it) pretty and not only that but more happy than she can remember. I laughed so much when I read this story, and zipped through it like there was no tomorrow. We come later to find out exactly what is the huge grudge she has against Matt, and get to see her attempts to test the waters with guys. Slowly we see her start to lose weight and all the changes that comes with that. With her diet of diet coke and chips and her habits of a modern day person this will be no easy task. She is going to eat like the caveman did and limit her access to modern technology. The experiment that she takes on is pretty extreme. Every year she enters the science fair and this year she plans to beat Matt no matter what happens. She is smart and she has good friends but again she's fat. I almost fell out of chair when she talked about the Tarahumara indians (it's a joke in my family).Ĭat is well fat and is carrying around a lot of resentment.

I learned so many new things without being banged over the head with textbook mumbo jumbo. This book reminded why I love reading so much.
