Depends what you want it for - By: The very hungry bookworm, 30 Jan 2008 
I think Hannah herself would be great fun - I'd happily go drinking with her & she sounds lovely. But the book really annoyed me. I guess it depends why you're buying it - & I was buying it to help me with the motivation to lose weight. I could hear myself whining some of her excuses all too easily - which I guess was a wake up call - but I found it frustrating that her endless litany of excuses meant that the book seemed inconclusive & slightly, defensively, apologetic about her love of food triumphing over her desire to be slimmer.
Great little gift for most women you know - By: Mrs. A. J. Lloyd, 08 Nov 2007 
A humorous - at times, laugh-out-loud - but heartfelt account of one woman's ongoing struggle with society's obsession with appearance & how she should deal with it: let's face it, most of us have been there & probably still are. Gloriously witty & searingly honest Hannah Jones is the self-doubting - although never self-pitying - dieting everywoman but with an extraordinary knack of combining funny with touching. The format means you can snack on Diary of a Diet, dippingin & out at the end of busy days but, be warned, you may find yourself gorging from cover to coverin one delicious midnight feast!
A Little Book of Big - By: Leigh Wharton, 17 Sep 2007 A brilliant book! The best book that i have read this year! Why is this woman not on TV? Cant wait for the next installment!
Not bad looking but with a big, fat arse - the book - By: Little Miss, 07 Sep 2007 This is a book that eats up the size zero debate for breakfast & coughs it back up with a side of comedy carbs. It'sin turns hilarious, heart-felt, witty, wise, silly, sad, enlightening, brilliant. It's not a diet bookin the conventional sense of the word as it won't tell you what NOT to eatin order to optimise weight loss. It's basically the hilarious story of what it's like being bigin a small world, of the author finding fun & tragedyin beingin a world where "normal" sized girls are always asking her if their bum looks big - asking someone who claims not to have seen their feet since 1971!
You won't be able to put it down, I promise, as Hannah's stories of the diets she's loved to hate & not lost anything on resonate. It's also filled with big tales about her nearest & dearest, a funny bunch you wish you could sit down & have a laugh & joke with.
Trust me, this will find resonance with anyone who's ever felt the need to weigh out their chips... along with their self-esteem. I'm tiny, & I laughed like a drain. Roll on number two! Hannah's the Valleys answer to Victoria Wood. Why isn't she on the telly? Check out her website (www.hannahjones.net) for more of her musings - you'll be too busy chuckling to get to the fridge.
