review 1: I started it on a very long, boring train journey and it's probably going to take another equally dull circumstance to get me to finish it. Sorry but while it's a good idea and the description promises so much, the reality is that a story that's meant to prove that size doesn't matter in fact revolves totally around the subject, making size matter very much indeed. And the 'poor sad, lonely, size 18-20' heroine? Just carries on the same dull stereotypes. Sigh.
review 2: I had to force myself to finish this book. The synopsis was promising but within only a few pages I had THAT feeling and wanted to set the book aside. "Now feted and adored for her curvaceously large body" - she's a size 14-16 and 6 feet tall how large could her body be?!I kept going for the sh... moreeer hope that suddenly it would turn out to be the "wickedly funny satire" I was promised. Alas, it did not. The story became boring and repetitive and I grew to dislike "Shaz" and everyone in her life. I wish that I had gone with THAT feeling and moved on to something else. less
