The Stations made real........2000-04-21

I just came from the Maunday Thrusday Watch where I read A Walk in Jersusalem, Stations of the Cross as I watched in the Garden. The flow and pace took me along the path Jesus walked on the way to Gaulgatha. It made the story of the cursifiction come alive for me in a way it never has before, I was there watching,and following along as Jesus, then Simon carried the cross.

Forget the Other Guide Books.......2000-04-18

Jerusalem Walks is a fantastic book for those who are traveling to Jerusalem. Having lived and studied in Jerusalem myself, I am confident in saying that you will have a hard time finding a book that has this much information in a guide book format. The 6 walking tours offer something for everybody, and I can think of no more enjoyable way to get to know the city. The focus of the walks is of course the Old City, but she also offers a couple of walks in Western Jerusalem. I have taken tours all over Israel and Jerusalem, but I have not seen another source offer such a variety and depth of historical and fun information about the turbulent history of Jerusalem. From the Patriarchs to the Romans to the founding of Israel, if it happened in Jerusalem, it is probably in this book.

a pleasure to use.......1999-11-22

Jerusalem is a city of such intricacy and layers of meaning that it can only be appreciated on foot, but it is so complex that you could walk around on your own forever wihtout really seeing it . Rosovsky takes you by the hand and shows you the courtyards, the buildings made out of pieces of other buildings, the ordinary-looking spots where history happened. Of course, Jerusalem is a prosperous city and the constant construction sometimes throws a wall across your path. Don't let that stop you, just circumvent the obstacle and pick up the tour at the next point of interest.

"Walk" Jerusalem with Rabbi Berel Wein and watch history unfold through the naming of her streets. Through the Turkish, British and finally Israeli rule of the city, politics played as much a role in Jerusalem's street names as the urge to create a fluid and complex monument to the great figures of Jewish history. Visit the great Spanish Rishonim on a trek through Rechavia, or leaders of the Haskalah by sashaying over to Talbiya. You'll never think the same way again about navigating Jerusalem.

Book Description

Insatiable is an astonishingly moving story of four teenage girls whose shame, fear and confusion compel them to binge, purge and refuse to eat in misguided attempts to feel safe and in control of their lives. This incredible, imaginative story, written in episodic format, is based on real case histories and tells a true-to-life story through character-driven vignettes. Insatiable will envelop readers in the personal and seemingly tangible worlds of each of the main characters. What makes this novel so forceful and vibrant is the way Eliot weaves her story through dynamics that inform these friendships and the therapy that helps them address their pain and fears. For every teen trapped in this seemingly endless cycle, and those who simply enjoy reading about real life issues (i.e. teen bestsellers Speak and Smack), Insatiable is a must-read.

Tries, doesn't quite deliver........2006-09-21

Eve Eliot, Insatiable (HCI Teens, 2001)

Eve Eliot has done something that few, if any, other authors who write about eating disorders have done: she considered the fat kid.

I mean, think about it. We're constantly hearing that childhood obesity is an epidemic in the United States, and the diet book industry has gone through the roof in the past couple of decades. (Would that I'd written The Eat Your Weight in Bushes and Slim Down! diet book five years ago. I'd be rich.) And yet every book I've picked up dealing with childhood eating disorders is preoccupied with anorexia and bulimia. One might call it an obsession, even. Books on eating disorders, as a rule, do not talk about childhood obesity.

Eliot feels the pull, though. Anorexia and bulimia is sexy, from the perspective of addressing eating disorders. And three-quarters of Eliot's main characters fall solidly into the anorexia/bulimia camp, and those three, as one would expect, get much of the screen time here (and more of the drama). But at least we have Phoebe, the smart, popular girl who cannot stop eating. And her presence in this book alone, let alone the fact that certain chapters of the book focus on her, raises the book a couple of notches by itself.

Eliot gives us the story (thinly-veiled nonfiction, I'd expect; Publisher's Weekly calls it "a work of fiction based on actual case histories," which I assume means it's got more truthiness than, say, a James Frey book) of four teenagers who all have eating problems. They also have a few side-effect-style problems (one character is a cutter, though the actual descriptions of cutting and its psychological effects sound more like they were absorbed from a psych journal instead of direct experience), but the eating disorders take center stage.

There's a lot of potential here, but much of the time, I wasn't sure under what it was hiding. The dialogue tends to flatness, the characters to steretypical actions (though they are well-drawn, especially for a book based on case histories), and the whole thing seems dated thanks to the details on which Eliot chose to focus in places, especially clothing and hairstyles. But Eliot does rise up from the mundane every once in a while, and when she does, this becomes a fascinating little work. Most of these times are when the girls are at their worst and give in to whatever desire each happens to be fighting. When Eliot's writing the bad stuff, she really takes off. It's the connective tissue in between that could have used some work.

But still, she considered the fat girl. And that's worth checking out, for its rarity if nothing else. ** ½

annoying.......2006-03-27

Okay, I haven't finished reading this book. So far it's just getting on my nerves with all of the stupid dialogue, flat, boring characters, and horrible writing.

I also noticed that the author's favorite color seems to be green for most things she describes are green (i.e., green shirt, green couch, lime green hair thing, etc). And that's getting on my nerves.

Seriously, like some people have mentioned, the dialogue in this book is unrealistic. Someone else stated that the author is trying too hard and I agree.

Someone else stated that this book is triggering and I agree. It made me want to eat like the fat girl. And not eat like the anorexic smoker.

This book is weird and it sucks and I'm not even halfway done with it. The author gets repetitive with the bulimic's OCD about cleaning her room and looking at zebras and the fat one wanting to be skinny like the anorexic smoker.

Don't bother with this book. It's a waste.

Insatiable.......2005-09-30

This book got off to a fairly good start; the situations are catching. However, I think that the author tried to include a little too much. Jessica-anorexic AND a smoker; Hannah-bulimic AND dealing with being an asexual lesbian; Samantha-anorexic AND a cutter, and so on, and also in making Phoebe, the friendly, intelligent binger, and Jessica, her polar opposite (a cold, rather empty-headed anorexic) her best friend. The ending was also very predictable in the way things worked out: one by one three of the four girls start therapy, then the fourth one dies. It's rather unrealistic. Too many eating-disorder books end in Therapy Happily Ever After.

The scenes in which each girl succumbed to her disorder were fairly thrilling and very well written. The thoughts were absorbing and you could really identify with them, even if you had never felt them before, as when I read about Hannah throwing up. Eliot captured in great detail the gist of each disorder and the forced lifestyle that follows, but I think she's too into happy endings.

This book makes you want to starve yourself.......2005-04-15

I think that people should stop writing books on Anorexia, Bulimia and Cutting because it only drives you to do it.
While reading this book I myself suffer from being a Cutter and a Bulimic, every time Samantha cut herself it made me want to cut, every time Hannah made herself throw up I wanted to make myself throw up, every time Phoebe went into the kitchen to fill up on milk, cookies, ice cream and pie, it made me want to do the same thing, and every time Jessica starved her self for food it made me want to starve myself.
If your Anorexic, Bulimic or a Cutter you shouldn't read this book because it doesn't help you at all it only inspires you to harm yourself even more.
This was a good book but it has some bad effects.

Insatiable .......2004-12-08

By: Nicole Rojas ISBN 1558748180 Image coming home every day with that one felling that you are fat? With that felling that you could any day grow up to be a big and plump. The sad part about this may be that felling inside your self but the even worse part about it that hundreds and thousands of teens around the world feel this way about their body. Teens with Anorexia and Bulimia aren't really self-confident about their body image. They could be the skinniest people in the world and yet they are hurt by food. This is all learned in the book Insatiable by: Eve Eliot

Jessica, Hannah, Samantha, and Phoebe are all four girls with the same sort of problems having to deal with food. Hannah, who is the one in the book that throws up, deals with her mothers death and pretty much blames it on herself for the loose of her mother. She does eat but the thing that she has is Bulimia. Where you throw-up right after your eat. It is a though she has these cravings for food but once she gobbles them all down she purges. Samantha, a blond cheerleader is another character in the book. Samantha faces the trouble of Anorexia and is dealt with her boyfriend dumping her because of her Anorexia he is scared to know what might happen if he continues the relation ship any longer. Jessica who is also friends with Phoebe in the book consist of cutting her se......Phoebe is a normal girl who's father stress her out on about her weight. Her father thinks that Phoebe should start to look more like the young ladies and teens he photographs. In the book Phoebe feels as though she cannot do any thing about it. What do Phoebe learn once Jessica dies? You'll have to read to find out!

It is a very hart thumping book that will have you go to the edge of your seat. With in every chapter there is a problem. This book was very interesting to read and I think that most teenage girls will really enjoy this book. All of them dealt the same subject but in different issues. It is worth reading and the cool thing about it is that most of the stuff are facts since the author is a therapist with eating disordered teens.
