Hunger

Stopped reading this book at 2/3 of the way. Wanted to try it because Ann Patchett said it was heartbreaking. I disagree. While I understand that compulsive eating or not eating can be a way to cope with severe mental trauma - and feel for people who have to go through this, I found the book intolerably shallow. It only describes, it does not analyze or teach or help.

The authors opinions are never surprising. Her writing lacks wit and depth. I don't understand why she is so well known for her writing.
