Half-Assed

A Weight-Loss Memoir

By: Jennette Fulda

Narrated by: Teri Clark Linden

After undergoing gall bladder surgery at age 23, Jennette Fulda decided it was time to lose some weight. Actually, more like half her weight. At the time, Jennette weighed 372 pounds.

Jennette was not born fat. But, by fifth grade, her response to a school questionnaire asking What would you change about your appearance? was "I would be thinner.” Sound familiar?

Half-Assed is the captivating and incredibly honest story of Jennette’s journey to get in shape, lose weight, and change her life. From the beginning - dusting off her never-used treadmill and steering clear of the donut shop - to the end with her goal weight in sight, Jennette wows listeners with her determined persistence to shed pounds and the ability to maintain her ever-present sense of self.

the narrator could have been a lot more lively

not sure if I was that interested in the story, especially when the author mentioned she was not going to talk about her methods.

As I've went through the book though, I decided to listen through based on the very entertaining style of the author. Unfortunately, I did not feel the narrator put as much emphasis on the content as was necessary to make a great audio book. I think it may have been better had I read it myself.

.Greatness!

Jennette is a talented writer who is authentic and honest. This is a beautiful, inspiring memoir. She keeps you entertained but she also lights a fire that makes you believe you can do it also!

Reader Comments

This book is highly recommend to people that want to lose weight. Jennette's story is inspiring. Personally, I felt like dropping bad eating habits after reading this book.

Ok story, obnoxious narrator

This was a decently entertaining/inspiring story, however I almost couldn't get past how bad the narration was. It was distractingly terrible and made it hard to fully immerse yourself into the story. Just spoken in the slowwwwwest, most emotionless monotone. Wouldn't recommend for that reason.

good story terrible gringe worthy narration.

good story hated the narration such a bad performance..all wit and irony lost ..wish author had read it
