Wake Up, I'm Fat!, Camryn Manheim
Book: 10
Title: Wake Up, I'm Fat!
Author: Camryn Manheim
Genre: Memoir
One-sentence summary: Society ain't easy on fat girls, but getting to like yourself is worth it.
Why did you get this book? Because I like Camryn Manheim, and I am also fat.
Do you like the cover? Any cover with a picture of Camryn Manheim in a bathing suit on it is okay by me.
Did you enjoy the book? I did. It didn't give the impression of being ghostwritten, which means that it deserves credit for being pretty well-written. (Not to insult Camryn's intelligence, but it's rare that I don't get that ghostwritten feel from a celebrity book, and Carol Burnett's is the only celebrity memoir I have ever read in my life that I would class as "well-written" without a qualifier. So. Anyway.) I like CM's attitude, and the anecdotes rang true.
Was the author new to you and would you read something by this author again? I doubt she'll be publishing anything more, but if she did, I'd check it out, sure.
Are you keeping it or passing it on? Keeping.
Anything else? YOU'RE GORGEOUS, CAMRYN! THANK YOU FOR DEDICATING YOUR EMMY TO ME! Next time you might want to rethink who you pick to write your introduction, though. Rosie O'Donnell is entirely incoherent, and you have way more class than she does anyway.
