This is one of the few books I've read that has a fat person as the sympathetic main character. And although for the first 240 pages she seems doomed to the gloomy circumstances of her birth and girth, in the last three pages she is gloriously vindicated! In retrospect, it was fun--I feel like a wonderful joke was played on me! And it helped me to get into the experience of someone who is treated, both intentionally and unintentionally, as less than a person because she is fat.
