Basically 1/3 of it was an advertisement for Weight Watchers, and how good her life is (not just weight). Definately inspiring and a quick read. I would have liked more about the "bad" times - there MUST have been SOME....
This book was an alright read, but it's more of an ode to Weight Watchers than an autobiography. While she does make some mention of American Idol and her start in the movies she doesn't really get into her life. Was expecting way more than what I got. Thankfully I got this from the library and didn't have to spend any money because I truly would have been disappointed!

I gave this book three stars because I like a good success story. Otherwise, it would have gotten two stars. The entire first half was more about Hudson's rise to stardom and how she was used to being the best until she got voted off American Idol. It glosses over the interesting parts of her life, like how she met her fiance and how she dealt with personal tragedy, and is a little too upbeat to be believable. The parts about how she started her whole family on Weight Watchers was interesting and fun to read, but I bought the book thinking she was going to be just like me: a fat girl who struggled with weight her whole life. Not a I-Thought-I-Was-Fine girl who decided to lose weight to get more Hollywood opportunities. In the end, I guess I just couldn't relate to most of the story.
Very affirming and supportive. Feels a little bit like only the good parts, but I did find her story reassuring and inspiring. And its always nice to be reminded of why weight watchers works.
It was a good book all in all. I think it could have used a little less about Weight Watchers and a little more of her actual life but to each their own..
While Jennifer seems very sweet I just found this book to be redundant and quite boring.
