Fat Girl

A True Story

De: Judith Moore

Narrado por: Carol Monda

“I am fat,” begins Judith Moore’s unflinching account of her life. As she describes her obsessions with food, struggles with self image and troubled relationships, she refuses to become an object of pity. Moore is the recipient of two NEA grants and a Guggenheim fellowship. Her previous book, also a memoir, was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.

It kept me interested

This was a very well written memoir. I listened quickly and I sometimes have difficulty staying interested in audio books. Other reviewers described the story as sad, but I didn't see it that way. I thought it was just very raw and open. Obviously there were sad elements, but there were also good ones, and kindness interspersed. I enjoyed the story and appreciated the viewpoint and the insights.

very sad but good story

reallt helps you see the internal struggle of one of one poor girl. goes to show you that you never know what someone is truly going through. everyone has a story

Heartbreaking

Poor little kid.
If you’re the type of person that get emotionally involved, prepare for a ride. I swear to god , I wanted to steal this little girl and tell her she was wonderful until she agreed. Mean grandmas are a horrible waste.

Disappointing and brutal

This listen was so far from what I expected. There was no hope, no strength, and no word of a future with purpose. I’m saddened from listening and not enriched in any way. The writer missed an opportunity to inspire others who may have similar experiences. I believe she over-shared and under-delivered.

Pathetic but honest

An honest struggle sorry story that mounts to nothing in the end. You keep hoping it will be interesting at some point but it doesn’t. I love sad stories, but this is just ick.
