review 1: It would deserve three stars, were it not for the sloppy ending.It is very well written, and raises important issues. Are we the masters of our bodies? Is obesity a desease or a matter of a person being lazy and careless enough to let it happen? How do others treat obese persons, and how do they see themselves? This is also a novel about our relationships with others - how to write to someone you have never met? What are his/her reasons for writing, and how far could this relationship take you? What are our personal boundaries?A very good novel.
review 2: Добре, писането на Амели Нотомб никога не ме е впечатлявало. Към тази книга бях привлечен, защото обичам епистолар�
... more�зма, имам интерес и към темата за хранителните разстройства. И, о, изненада - тази книга на пръв поглед съчетава и двете. Но...тъкмо в момента, в който започнах сериозно (и положително) да оценявам идеята за булемията на един войник като социален протест и рефлекция на пацефизъм, авторката не успява да удържи, по моему, наратива и завършва с формирането на една лъжа - евтин психологизъм...Разочароващо. less

Todavía no sé si el final me gustó. Pero sin duda la autora es absorbente.

Read the English version, but I don't see that version on Facebook yet.

Once again Nothomb did it. Genius book, great timing and well think it.

fou !En bref, incroyable et, souvent, dégoûtant.
