TITLE: Kid Rex
AUTHOR: Laura Moisin
GENRE: Recovery-Memoir
RATING: 5 Stars +++++

I have an eating disorder and I am currently in recovery - its not easy. However, what makes it much easier for me is knowing that there are many, many people out there who suffer from the same disease as I do.

That is why I absolutely love to read books on the subject - especially when they are of the sensitivity, quality and honesty displayed in Kid Rex. This is a heartwrenching, honest and beautiful book written by someone who has been there and has lived to tell about it.

Yes, its extremely difficult to read this book - the experiences, thoughts, feelings and emotions of the author are on display for all to see, but that is just the point - no more hiding behind the food (whether it be anorexia, bulimia or overeating).

The author tells us like it is - this is not a fairy tale where everyone comes out at the end with a big smile, having resolved all of the issue. Eating disorders are insidious and run deep, but Kid Rex gives up hope - illuminates without judging and is touching and moving.

I LOVED this book and I am in awe of the author who has the courage to 'feel' again and to share with us.
