Recently I have been looking for a few new book written in verse and as a pleasant surprise this book in written in verse. When it comes to poetry It can be a bit too basic or the exact opposite. I don't mind either as long as the ideas are presented in a touching way. As a fat person I am always looking for books to make me feel valid and I have a great hunch that this book like 'The Other (F) Word' will do just that. The opening lines still stick out in my head like the five points of a starfish.
