Reviews
Grade 7 Up-- A revised volume (Little, 1987) with insignificent changes. Kolodny presents information about self-image and eating disorders; how habits become addictions; facts about anorexia, bulimia and bulimarexia; and ways to confront the problems. A variety of contemporary comic strips dot the text with humorous references to eating attitudes and conduct. Personal experience letters and incidents are used to convince readers that changes in behavior can be made. However, they might become bogged down with all the lists and strategies intended to assist them. While information for reports is present, students may have to work a little harder to get at it than in titles with a more reportorial approach. Revisions include a test to check for bulimia and an additional item about how to win against it. There is also a new four-page segment on unanticipated situations resulting from going public about bulimic behavior. Libraries that have the original edition will find too few changes to justify the purchase of this one. --Lois McCulley, Wichita Falls High School,
