| Not your typical boring diet book, this is a tart-tongued, no-holds-barred wakeup call to all women who want to be thin. With such blunt advice as, "Soda is liquid Satan" and "You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin," it's a rallying cry for all savvy women to start eating healthy and looking radiant. Unlike standard diet books, it actually makes the reader laugh out loud with its truthful, smart-mouthed revelations. Behind all the attitude, however, there's solid guidance. Skinny Bitch espouses a healthful lifestyle that promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling "clean and pure and energized."

I found the whole book to be entirely laughable. Its not about diet, its about promoting veganism. Is some of the advice good? Yes, but it is overshadowed by so much extremist "wisdom" and delivered with such foul language. They talk down to the reader, like we're a bunch of dim-witted Valley Girls or something. And they use only the research that supports their ideals. If all you want is a good laugh, then go ahead. If you're looking for a good, serious, sensible diet, this is not it.

This book is a wolf in sheep's clothing-- a staunch Vegan agenda masquerading as a "food program." Though the obscene language and blunt style made me laugh at first, the underhanded way which the authors introduce veganism to the reader is insulting. I am not a child and I don't want to be "hoodwinked" into reading Vegan material. I did make myself read all of the slaughterhouse-horror-story pages (and there are many!) but I couldn't help but wonder if these terrible crimes have happened once, never, or if any of the reports were even true. There is really no way to check their sources and there is no question that vegans exaggerate the "torture" of animals. Yet, there is also no question that the slaughter of animals is a sad part of the food chain and that Vegans play on our guilt to encourage everyone to avoid meat, poultry, dairy, etc. I buy cage-free eggs and free-range, grass-fed chicken. I wasn't looking for a PETA-manual-- just a fun read to help me eat better, more often. If that is what you are after, this is definitely NOT the book for you.

this is the worst book i've ever tried to read. a "friend" recommended it. this book is awful, i'd never recommend to my worst enemy. it is full of liberal propaganda, & is anti american. i'm just hoping not everyone really BELIEVES what they read.
there's nothing in about diet. it is all against farmers, and it is political. there's even a chapter about HOW WONDERFUL CLINTON IS but he was stopped by the REPUBLICANS .....
THIS BOOK IS DEPRESSING AND NOT AT ALL WHAT IT PROCLAIMS TO BE.

I found that the book was a good, quick read for those beginner vegans. My husband ,a devote meat eater, told me that it wasn't a matter of if but a matter of when he became a vegan. He couldn't believe some of the stories of how the meat was processed and it actually made me sick. I don't even eat meat. It did contain vulgur language but I guess in this day and age it didn't really faze me.

If you are uptight and cringe at vulgar language, don't get this book. For the rest of you who love a good laugh while actually learning a thing or two, you'll enjoy it! This book gives you a push to get healthy. It summarizes the food industy's corruptness and what are all the toxins and chemicals put in foods and how to read through the misleading food labels on packaging. How to take care of yourself and turn things around. The authors also give you healty alternatives and brands to try. I have purchased many of them already and they are all very tasty! I loved this book and have ordered it for some friends.
