Awake, Arise, Or Be Forever Fallen! by Alberto Vezendi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When most of us think of eating disorders, we only picture women and young girls in our minds. What most of us fail to see is that eating disorders and all that goes with it affect boy and men as well. And because of the way our society is set up, their voices are often never heard. The author of this book has struggled and lived with anorexia for most of his life. In this book, he opens up about his struggles and obsession with food and details it all, from how it began, until how he finally overcame it. One of the more eye-opening points of the book, is that the author helps us realize just how damaging these eating disorders are to not just our physical help, but also our mental and emotional health. We also are shown to just what lengths he went to prevent others from realizing something was wrong.
