“This is an important read for anyone dealing with an eating disorder: the individual, the family or friends. Ms. Lipton conveys a touching portrayal of the struggles involved with trying to overcome this illness.” —Cynthia R. Pegler, MD, Adolescent Medicine Specialist “A riveting and sensitive journey into the world of a teenage girl plagued by Anorexia Nervosa. A detailed, realistic account of the internal struggles and conflicts that exist in the mind of someone with an eating disorder. An important book to read for anyone dealing with a loved one with anorexia.” —Jane Karp, MD Psychiatrist “Lipton’s ‘Unwell’ is extremely well written and invites the reader into the candid journey of an eating disordered girl and her thoughts. This is a valuable read for parents as they try to understand this complicated illness from the inside out.” —Lynn Grefe CEO, National Eating Disorders Associ
And all of these things will cumulate into a cinematic climax in which the crap hits the fan in a spectacular manner as many of the novels major characters will end up getting seriously spanked, while some others will never go home again, and in which we learn a little more about who really runs the hospital, and who really is behind the attack on King Winter.
Once again the rules of Edie's world are left unclear as at the end of Cassie Alexander's "Moonshifted" we are still unclear as how either the vampire or werewolf societies function. The original Russian version of the book mentally accompanied me and my friends for many years since one read it cannot be forgotten. Great book!! I can't recommend it enough.. These images would resonate strongly with children and open gateways of discussion with the whole family.
I would have liked more of a back story regarding the origin of the "Black Knight," but this complaint is very minor and does not detract from the book.
