Book Reviews of I'm Not the New Me
Book Review: Wendy tells it like it is!
Summary: 4 Stars
I wasn't sure if I would be able to relate to this book. I knew it was about a girl with a weight problem and her struggles to lose the weight. I have always been skinny and have never battled with my weight at all. Even though Wendy and I do not share weight problems, I completely related to this book. Wendy tells her story and shares the ups and downs of her daily life. There is something in it for everyone. Not only does she struggle with weight, but dating, friends, etc. Her style is wonderful. There is a lot of swearing in the book which took a while for me to get used to, but you feel like she is talking right to you. I found the book hilarious and laughed out loud often. I also could feel her emotions when she was sad or upset. It was the emotion that I could relate to most.
This is different than the typical novel. I really enjoyed and recommend it to any woman looking for a funny, entertaining read.
Book Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading rave reviews of this book and reading some of the author's blog I went and bought a copy. But after about 100 pages I threw it down in disgust. It is not funny at all. The main character has a terrible sense of humor, a horrible personality and I cannot figure out how people find her funny. I do not recall laughing even one time.
Very disappointed, and I do not recommend anyone waste their money on this one.
Book Review: Awesome Book for some Great Summer Reading
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book to read especially since it's summer and we're trying our best to get into summer shape anyways. She's got some great insights that cut straight to the truth of the matter and it's just sooo funny that you'll be sweatin off the pounds in no time.Book Review: Reality Reading
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm Not the New Me is about the author's struggle with weight loss & dating, but I think it is much more than that. Even if you cannot relate to the subject matter, this book is written for the average person. She talks like real people talk (there is a bit of swearing if you can get past that), she goes to work, hangs out with friends... I felt it was as if she was one of my friends telling me about her day. It is about much more than weight & dating, it is about those things in everybody's lives that they don't like about themselves & always want to change. I'm Not the New Me is an easy read, it keeps your attention, but it is not over dramatic. I finished it feeling like it's nice to know there are people like the author out there. Book Review: It reads as well as a good fiction!
Summary: 4 Stars
I think the title says it all. Wendy's blunt look at her life is hilariously refreshing. Her foul "mouth" was difficult for me to read through at first but I couldn't help but fall in love with her. The Weight Watcher's menu cards in the middle of the book nearly killed me. I actually looked them up to see if they were real...they were! OMG I can't believe people actually ate those!
Anyway, I highly recommend it to readers of all shapes and sizes. There's something in this book everyone can relate to.
