Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Fat Girls and Lawn Chairs

Book Review: 4.5 stars!
Summary: 4 Stars

It is a rare find to read a series of mini-essays, in the form of an autobiography, written by an individual who is so comfortable in their own skin and accepts themselves and their life experiences the way Peck has. She holds nothing back - and is genuine in the process. The author certainly has a delightful sense of humor and the mere reading of her book reminds us that we all need to laugh at ourselves from time to time, especially if we want to be happy in our lives.

The style of prose is quite humorous and the imagery very vivid. I intend to have my students read chapters of her book and analyze the writing style - for it is an outstanding model for such a task.

Be forewarned, though, not every essay is as intriguing as the others. Regardless, the book is an excellent read.
