Are they trying to trick people into thinking it's a make-over type book? If you look at the author's website it shows the four different covers. The Canadian one has half-eaten chocolates (Barrie would approve!). The Australian cover has a woman's mouth about to bite into a cupcake. And the UK cover shows an obese woman with a fabulous hat and sunglasses laughing. It's so weird how different cultures have such different approaches and the American approach is by far the most repressed and in denial. What's up with that?Kelly Hayesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-91550088070828993012010-05-05T12:35:05.230-07:002010-05-05T12:35:05.230-07:00This sounds pretty interesting.

I appreciate her views and will an adventure looking into that book and into the others listed. Sounds like a great book.<br />Barrie, when I took my family to the beach a few weeks ago, I was surprised (happily) to see my youngest daughter, with one of your books. She was so into it and LOVED it. I guess she bought it one day when she was out book shopping with her dad. She has good taste! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-88249467584370883122010-05-05T04:41:56.638-07:002010-05-05T04:41:56.638-07:00Thanks, Kelly, for a great review!
