OK, I guess...... : I
This book was OK. It just informed you on how to be Bulimic and what to drink so you can Puke better, it gets you thinking about doing that, It was kinda a waist of time.

AWESOME!
I think this book is okay for girls any age above 11. i know eleven seems young, but they should know. as far as the book goes, it was absolutely great! the author really brought out the characters point of veiws and it was just,"perfect!" i definitely recommend this novel! but, probably not for boys!

i loved it
I think it is a must read for mature kids 11 and older. Although, it has a few gross scenes, it is very touching. It is about a girl struggling to overcome bulimia.

A Review with Advice
Role models aren't so great in this book. Forcing yourself to throw up is not a good way to deal with depression. It is never explained if Isabelle deals with her bulimia or not. It may send messages to young girls that have bulimia that you should just ignore it.
Although it was not that positive. Perfect was educational about what some girls go through. If you have a problem like Isabelle's don't put yourself what she went through.

Realistic book for young women
I love this book!!! it shows a girl with an eating disorder in a realistic point of view with actuall problems. Most teen girls do have body image problems, and this shows a troubled girl getting the help she needs.I read this when i was 11 and it showed me that you need to be comftorable with yourself. All teen girls should read this book, it does not glorify eating disordes, it shows the ugly side of them, which girls should know.

Perfect.
Overall the book is really good. It makes you aware of what's out there.I enjoyed it. I think if your child is mature and can handle it....everything should be just fine.

Perfect by Natasha Friend
I personally loved this book, and next I'm going to read Lush. This book shows the dangers of bulimia, and shows how the main character grows and conquers it. It is a book for growth, strength, and learning to have self confidence.

This Stuff s for Real
PERFECT by NATASHA FRIEND made me realize that some kids are actually like this. Young girls have lost their parents and are insecure about their bady image. It is intersting to read along with Isabelle about her struggles with her dad, mom, little sister, and group. Also cheerful when you read about when she does things that she normally wouldn't do. or make progress in her disorder.

Really thought provoking
I really liked this book, and it taught me a lot about bulimic girls. It would be a confusing book, if I were younger than about 11, but I really liked it when I read it. I recommend it, but I also recommend that parents discuss the book with the reader.
Happy reading! :)

Perfect
I think that this is a great book for teens or 13 year old's because it is what they would understand. When they read this story they would understand the issues and the problems that this young lady is going through! I am saying this because i am thirteen and i clearly get the state of what happened to this thirteen yearold and how it affected her life very much.

WARNING: glorifies eating disorders!
Its a good read that had me interested the whole way through, even the second and third time I read it. However, I think it is important that kids do know, besides the book, the dangers of bulimia. It does "glorify" the dangers, because the bulimic girl becomes popular, and I don't care about the ending because it still seems as a way into popularity. Ashley Barnum, is seen as popular, and she can be seen in this way as a role model. Besides this, the book was interesting, but it really does worry me.
