Review
A smart and rich compendium of what is going on within and without our bodies today ... in this brave and significant book, Orbach does battle with a full quiver of her own fire-tipped arrows, her blazing firebrand levelled at self-hatred in all its forms. * The Times * This is a serious book - and one of the saddest I've read in a long time. It is grounded in compassion, righteous anger and practical good sense ... I came away having learnt something. We are at war with our own bodies, and both sides are losing. * Daily Mail * A terrifying, terrific read * Scotland on Sunday * Could make you rethink starting that post-Christmas diet. A 2010 must-have if you want to understand your body issues. * Now * Original in her diagnoses and sympathetic in her treatment, she comes across as the intellectual lovechild of Freud and Trisha. How could this not be compulsive reading? -- Laura Silverman * Daily Mail * Combining heartfelt polemic with heartbreaking case studies, Bodies unpicks the tangle of influences that conspire against a "stable body" -- Victoria Segal * Guardian * [A] superb analysis of the range of ways one can change one's body and the number of images of the body one encounters. -- Lesley McDowell * Herald [Glasgow] *
