Lauren Greenfield is a wonderful photographer. She has a great clarity to her work, and a directness that I really like to look at. (At which I really like to look). I can't really judge that well because I've never had an eating disorder (just usual girl-body-image stuff), but I thought Thin (the documentary) was crazy compelling and and an honest look at the toughness of treating the illness.

The book is also crazy compelling. It would be good stand-alone, and it adds more to the stories than the film could get into, because it shows more of the patients from Renfrew, and a little more of the stories of the 4 main "characters" from the documentary. The psychological battle is so evident in the photographs and their words.

For me, it was a good companion read with Next to Nothing because it was really just documenting the girl's mental states and thoughts while that book was really a guide for the recovering person with an ED and his or her family/friends. So I could take what I read in that book and try to apply it to these real cases of recovery.
