"'Super-Size Me' meets 'Soylent Green.'"--Entertaintment Weekly
"A mordant vision of a brave new world where religion is rooted in the worship of one's body as a sacred temple utterly free from the fleshy sins of flab. Reed serves a feast of entertaining food for thought."--The Associated Press
"A compelling novel [that] captures the pain, emptiness, and absurdity of the quest for physical perfection but opens the possibility of liberation from this tyranny.

"In a world of Dr Atkins, facelifts, botox and eating disorders, this nightmare vision hits the pressure points like acupuncture. Multi-faceted, witty, and endlessly inventive."--Geoff Ryman
"This satire on the Obese Society, the slimming industry and materialistic religion is Reed at her mordant best."--Michael Moorcock
"Darkly humorous and unsettling, this is an important book that warns us where society's chpressure to be young, thin, and beautiful could lead."--Romantic Times
"Stinging and mordantly witty."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"My first reaction after reading the book was to think, 'How horrifying!' My second thought, almost immediately following the first, was: 'That future is not very far off.'"--The Chicago Sun-Times
"Serves up its hard truths and caustic commentary with large helpings of humor and intelligence. Thinner Than Thou is highly recommended to all, including readers with eating disorders-but then, is there anyone in this culture who doesn't have issues with food?"
--Pamela Sargent on Scifi.com
