From School Library Journal

YA– Teenage boys who a generation ago would have answered Charles Atlas ads will be attracted to this book about Fussell’s own immersion program in bodybuilding.

She started a blog, “Half of Me,” to chronicle her progress. As of February 2007, she had lost half her body weight; in the final chapter, she writes that she’s within 15 pounds of her goal weight (160 pounds) but warns, “I may have los (more…)
