For big women ONLY!!!!
I've read Mo'niques book and I loved it. I have read alot of comments from other book companies and on this website about this book and there is always the one skinny woman that has a problem with the book. THE BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU, ITS FOR BIG WOMEN!!! So why pick it up?? Give me a break! Petite women actually think she really mean to call them evil. For all big girls..Read the book, its a laugh and a very good read. To petite women..Learn to take a joke...

Diego New York #1 Monique fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mo'nique tells it how it is and she truly makes all Fabulous and thick people feel better about themselves. I have been a B.I.G. person for a long time and I truly believe in everything Mo'nique wrote. I also like the fact that she does admit that some skinny b***h's can be nice and that if your family tells you they are worried about your heavy breathing you should do something about it. finally someone who actually has something imprtant to say.

Hilarious
In this novel by mo'nique she brings up plus size girls self esteem. I, as a size 2, would like to say that she does bring down thin girls and not all of us are 'skinny evil ones.' Nevertheless... she still tells the truth with style and humor. it was a very enjoyable read.it was interesting to see how a plus sized woman viewed things.

Miami's Finest
Living in Miami with all the South Beach fanatics it's not easy being a full figured woman. The majority of men are into petite sized women but, after reading Monique's book I feel better about myself. All my friends are P.H.A.T. It's your very own attitude that makes PHAT or FAT. I'm more confident with my frame after reading her book. Kudo's. I'm looking forward to her next book....

Great Book
I just got the book and almost finished with it. It is great! It makes you laugh, but at the same time, it tells the truth. I'm a F.A.T. girl and proud of it. It's about time that there is a book that speaks to full figured women and tells us to love who we are despite what society says. You go Girl! Can't wait for your next book!

Plus Size Humor....
I Had The Pleasure Of meeting 'Monique' In Person In My Home town At A Comedy Club & A Book Signing.She Is Truly A Beautiful Person Both Inside & Out.I Can Truly Relate To Her Book As Well. Being A 'Full-Figured Beautiful Woman Myself, I Must Say That Its all About Feeling Good About Who You Are As A Person. I Do Agree That Some Skinny Women Are Truly Evil. Not All Of Them..I Do Highy Recomend This Book To All Of My Plus Size Sisters..Hip Hip Hooray!!! For Plus Size Women.

It Makes Big Girls Feel Better About Themselves
This was the best book ever.Monique girl you are good. when i was growing up i got called fat so many time by my brothers and sisters it hurt me so bad. Then it did not make it any better at school all the boys talked about me and all the skinny girls. It got so bad to where i would not eat anymore i would starve myself so that i can be skinny, it worked but i lost my cheat my butt and i did not like that so i started gaining weight again and i look good.But now i date this guy who likes girls with small stomachs and when i read your book it made me realize that if he don't like me for who i am then he is not worth it. Monique you are a strong black women and thank you

I Highly Recommend this book
Mo'Nique mixes humor, observations about life and her own life story to >weave a story whose message is love your self no matter what size you wear. >Mo'Nique talks about growing up in a family that included two loving >parents and two brothers and a sister. She indicates that she has was >always been a big girl and was sometimes teased by her siblings because of >it. However, the most notable thing to me about Mo'Nique's youth and how >it shaped her into the dynamic, confident person we see today is that her >father continually told her she was the prettiest girl in the world. Such >words spoken by a father to any little girl, big or small, does wonders for >a girl's and later a women's self esteem. It was a wonderful message, but >not as prominent in the book as it could have or should have been. >However, I loved that the message was there, and while Mo'Nique recounted >that she had her share of difficulties (two failed marriages, and a >momentary obsession to lose weight in order to fit in to Hollywood), >throughout it all it seemed to me like she had too much confidence and too >much self love to fall victim to other people's limited expectations of >her. I attributed this to the pride and self-esteem that was instilled in >her by her father. > >Besides her parents, Mo'Nique also details that she is supported by a close >circle of friends, and that her brother, Steve, has been her manager from >the beginning and continues in that role to this day. She credits him for >helping her to reach the marqee status that she has obtained in Hollywood, >which includes a successful television series, a string of movies (where >she literally steals the show), and a thriving and hilarious standup >routine. It was nice to see the depths of Mo'Nique's loyalty, and that she >'made it' with the assistance of a person that was with her from the >beginning. > >Mo'Nique admits there are some nice skinny women in the world, and gives >large sisters guides on how to tell a cool six from an evil eight. She >also dispenses some anecdotes on how big women really have it going on >when it comes to men and how she was able to prove this point time and >again to her smaller friends. > >Mo'Nique packs her book with a great deal of useful information. She will >tell you which are best and worst places for a large person to eat, sleep, >and shop for clothes, as well as the problems big people have with public >transportation. She has a listing of the best big girl jams, the best web >sites for large people and a time line of important events in big girl >history. > >Mo'Nique takes pride in her appearance which includes dressing well and >wearing things that normally are not associated with larger women. She >encourages all big women to discover their best features and to buy sexy >clothes which accentuate those features. She encourages big women to eat >what they like, including dessert, but not to overindulge, and not buy into >the stereotype that being a skinny person is better than being a larger >person. Mo'Nique also makes the points that all big people should strive >to stay healthy, and should develop an exercise routine that works for them >but which does not have to be based on traditional exercise programs that >are geared toward thinner people. > >The funniest portions of Mo'Nique's book include the section of 'your momma >so skinny' jokes, her comparison of a day in the life of a skinny girl to a >the day in the life of a big girl, and the way she recounts that upon >arriving in Hollywood she tried every available exercise and diet program. > >I would highly recommend this book to everyone. It's funny, easy to read, >and makes some great points that transcend weight, including the need to >love yourself, the significance of embracing the body you are in, and the >importance of pursuing your dreams and not restricting yourself based on >what other people say you can

You Go, Girl!
I'm a skinny, one digit, cool #2. I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down and I couldn't stop laughing out loud. I almost got in trouble at work for reading this book and not doing any work. It's a must read! I've bought two more books for my gal pals birthday gifts.
