This book (yes, it's for young folk) had such potential. Who doesn't love a good story about fat camp? First there was the MTV special, aptly titled "Fat Camp", then, we got a second taste with "Fat Camp 2". Finally, the world gave us "Huge".
I love a good camp story. I especially love a good fat camp story. Who doesn't? Camp has such an in-the-now flavour, it is perfect for teen romances, drama, and everything you come to expect from a good book for young 'ins.
Unfortunately, "Huge" didn't live up to it's potential. It was cheesy and seemed unfinished by the end. I think that, had 13 year old Alana read it as opposed to 27 year old Alana, there would be a different verdict. However, as I am an adult (albeit one who reads teen fiction on a semi-regular basis), I have to rate it 2.5 perfectly portioned grilled salmon fillets out of 5.
