The Ministry of Thin by Emma Woolf

4.0

Finished on 4th march. This book shocked me frequently. There were many horrible things in it that I couldn't believe. I'm familiar with the desire to be thin and eating disorders but the age,surgery,fashion and all that left me sad,annoyed,hopeless. I realised once again that it sucks to be a woman today. The author seems to made lots of research before writing this book, she uses many data and compares those data with her, her friends' experiences, and other data. To be honest there were times that I got bored because well it's not a happy book and it's told kind of like a long essay. But overall I learned many things thus I enjoyed reading this book.
