review 1: HILARIOUS! **I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair & honest review.**I got this book in the mail yesterday and devoured it (haha) in a few hours. Mark recounts his childhood of the 80s & 90s, which was heavily influenced by Dynasty & Erica Kane, and his childhood traumas. Traumas include an evil stepmother (What happened to her??? What happened the night of the knife stabbing????), religious guilt (1/2 Jewish & 1/2 Catholic), theater camp ---> basketball camp aka fat camp courtesy of the evil stepmother, questionable sexual experiences thanks to Chili's and a healthy relationship with food. It leads up through present day complete with a job in NYC, P90X workouts, and Grindr experiences. I loved his running monologue as it was mostly pure... more sarcasm. He says what everyone else is thinking. I don't want to give to much of the book away but I highly recommend reading it. You won't regret it!The only two things I don't get are: Dynasty over Dallas and AMC over DOOL. Oh well. No one's perfect.He has another book which I'm planning to read. If you like this book, you'll probably enjoy Andy Cohen's book and vice versa. If for no other reason then the candidly honest voice both are written in and this strange love for Erica Kane/Susan Lucci. (J/K from a DOOL fan.)
review 2: I had never heard of this author before but am so glad to have read this book. Every chapter of this book was a great and honest story of a time in Mark's life. I have never laughed so much or related to someone's stories of food issues like this book.I love reading a book that is not only honest but also well written and that is exactly what you will get with this book. Thanks to Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book before it comes out. Trust me this is one book you definitely want to add to your summer reads list! less
