Kid Rex: The inspiring true account of a life salvaged from despair, anorexia and dark days in New York City
Kid Rex is the story of one woman’s struggle to overcome anorexia. After knowing other friends with anorexia and being baffled by their behavior (often wondering, “Why doesn’t she just eat?!”) Moisin suddenly found herself prone to the same disease, not eating at all and going weeks at a time taking in nothing but water and the occasional black coffee. She learns how to deceive the therapists her worried family sends her to, giving them all of the symptoms of depression so they’ll misdiagnose her and let her continue to be anorexic. When she recognizes that she has a serious problem, though, she finally owns up to a therapist working at her university. She tells him that she’s an anorexic who needs to go to some group meetings to work through her condition. He looks at her doubtfully and says, “No, I don’t think you’re an anorexic.” All that runs through her mind is that she must be fat. Shortly after this devastating therapy visit, the Twin Towers fall in the September 11th attacks, and Moisin watches it happen from her apartment window. Her ensuing depression quickens her already dangerous downward spiral. Kid Rex is a book about hope, and looking to oneself and to those around you to help get out from under the hold of such a dreadful and powerful disease. This book is written for people who are also suffering from anorexia to let them know they’re not alone, but Moisin never takes on a know-it-all tone. Books on anorexia that are currently available are either preachy, or more commonly, clinical accounts written by doctors, not people suffering from the disease. The book is also written for families and friends who find themselves unable to understand why their loved one won’t just eat. When Moisin goes to a clinic and they plop down a tray of food in front of her, even the most sceptical reader will gasp and realize what an unsympathetic thing they’ve done to her. Moisin actually puts the reader into the head of someone suffering from anorexia, in beautiful and moving prose. The result is a book that is truly unforgettable.

This book was just okay for me, Dog.
I did not like Moisin's writing style and she contridicts herself so often it became very irritating. The last couple of chapters are so disjointed from the rest of the book that I skimmed over them with complete disinterest.
I feel like I learned a bit more about anorexia from the insider's perspective, so that was useful. But, I almost feel that Moisin was so close to it, that she didn't always do the best job reporting and describing her experience, or perhaps it's just that she isn't a very adept reporter. Of course, I can't substantiate this, but, as a reader, I felt throughout the book that some piece was missing and I wasn't getting the full picture.

There's a lot to like here in what is essentially an autobiography of this tightly-wound Generation Y'er and her collapse into anorexia. I devoured the first 150 pages in a single sitting and was really quite spellbound. Moisin's writing is excellent and she could and perhaps will be a novelist. Balanced against this, I found the recovery stage of the book too short and without enough insight. It was as if she simply decided to eat. Perhaps that's what occurred, but it seemed oddly out of tone with the prolonged confessional style of the earlier portions. This is definitely worth a read, both for bio/memoir lovers and for eating disorder recovery folks.

Where to begin, well I guess the first thing to explain is Laura Moisin. Laura is not like us mere mortals, she only speaks in witty intellectual quotes or puns. Whether its constantly quoting to Shakespeare, Einstein or Dante to name a few or complaining her friends can't use a new repertoire she is always proving her intellectual superiority to everyone around her. Her biggest pet peeve is people saying Venice is a dead city (she says when people judge Venice they also judge her as well). Unlike other selfish children all she asked her grandmother for was a leaf for her birthday. So as you can tell its hard for me to judge such a perfect person as she.
All right, joking aside this author is EXTREMELY hard to relate to. It almost became laughable towards the end on what kind of strange or ridiculous thing she would say next. She never says or does anything anything mean, silly, or stupid (unless you count her laughing at her mom misunderstanding the lyrics to "Jammin") like any normal flawed person would do. This really seems like a facade that she is trying to pass of as her actual persona, but I am not her so i cannot say for sure.
Secondly, she really only discusses her eating disorder about one third of the book. I understand that her backstory and personal dilemmas are supposed to add insight to her disorder, except it really doesn't. Aside from her talking about her perfectionism, everything else just seems like filler. The only really enjoyable part of the book as when she is in rehab as you finally get to hear about her struggle with anorexia. Which is why I wanted to read this book in the first place. I found the chapter on 9/11 also particularly frustrating, but this may just be a personal problem as I was born close to NYC. Why she feels the need to put in that someone took a picture of her in fashionable outfit after the towers collapsed is lost on me outside of pure vanity.
The only way I can recommend this book is as a "so bad its funny" kind of read. Though that was certainly not what I was looking for when I bought this. For most people I would say save your money and go read " Unbearable Lightness" by Portia De Rossi. She wrote a very compelling and clever book that was raw and full of relatable human experiences that everyone can relate to whether or not they have had an eating disorder or not. Honestly the only reason I finished this book was so I could add another book to my reading challenge.

Moisin developed anorexia as a university student in New York, or perhaps it is more accurate to say that she already had anorexia but it took over completely during her college years.
It's a frustrating read at times, though that's not in and of itself a bad thing. She's not always a likable narrator, which, again, isn't a bad thing on its own. Moisin describes lying to doctors, or misleading them; pushing away friends; destroying food and then leaving the carnage for her roommates to clean up. She also does a tremendous job, at times, of describing the illogic of anorexia: that the anorectic, for example, may well be less invested in being 'attractively thin' than 'terrifyingly skeletal' (I paraphrase), and why.
But more interesting to me is the sense that her grip on recovery was, at the time of writing, tenuous. There are two reasons for this sense, I think: first, the blame-game played in the book. There's a tremendous amount of scorn heaped on those who failed to help Moisin, from professionals to paraprofessionals to those who just happened to be in the line of fire. She goes back and forth on this, trying to acknowledge that she wasn't offering a complete picture but then kind of...going back to blame. To me this says, among other things, that that's one thing that could have used a bit more time/perspective. And second: although Moisin doesn't use numbers (hurray), she also avoids talking about any food she ate, leaving the impression that she spent five or six years ingesting nothing other than coffee. This isn't a great impression to leave, because some of the misinformed already think people with anorexia literally eat nothing—but it also...how do I put this? It makes me wonder whether she's still super uncomfortable giving any specifics about food she ate while anorexic, not in a might be triggering way but in an I am ashamed to talk about food I ate way. I mean, who knows—maybe I'm projecting. But it does make me think that a bit more distance might have been useful.

*Anorexia as a metaphor for a deeper metaphysical struggle*
Amazing, astute, and awe-inspiring! In contrast to many other books on eating disorders, Laura Moisin's _Kid Rex_ does not focus on the symptoms and behaviors of the disease, nor does it offer an over-simplified, linear plan for recovery. Instead, Laura's chilling memoir helps illuminate the darkness of the disease by exposing the core inner struggle of the person beneath the symptoms. Throughout the book, her narratives and insights are simultaneously subtle and profound. For example, in a few poignant sentences, she is able to capture the essence of the anorexic experience (p. 125):
"Anorexics experience a sense of power, calm, and well-being when we deprive ourselves. By looking frightful and skeletal we are simultaneously pushing people away in a most destructive, passive-aggressive way, and challenging those we love to accept us and to fight for us, regardless....Food becomes symbolic of that which we can't control but must, that which we absolutely need but absolutely reject. Attempting to detangle oneself from this complicated interplay between pleasure and pain, destruction and creation, is in fact a metaphysical struggle for the very life and survival that become increasingly impossible to grasp."
Although _Kid Rex_ is about Laura's struggle with anorexia, it can also been seen as a metaphor for how we are all in danger of starving to death if our lives lack nourishing meaning and purpose. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to better understand eating disorders--or, for that matter, anyone who wants to gain insight into living a life that feeds the body, mind, and soul.

i breezed through this because it's nothing i havent read before. all i could think was how annoying it was every time she whined about communism. anyway i felt like this book had very little soul, just a lot of posturing. the chapter on 9/11 i skipped altogether because i have upsetting memories of that day and i just couldnt do it. you should probably just read 'wasted' by mayra hornbacher instead.

very informative on what it's like to live with anorexia. I also liked how she didn't "brag" about her anorexia and weight, but merely explained what she did and how she felt
October 4, 2020
I picked this book up as anorexia is a subject which I find particularly interesting and am looking to specialise in in the future, and I enjoy reading about it from multiple accounts and perspectives. This is an account of a young girl's experiences with the disease whilst living in New York City and attempting to gain a degree from NYU. The book was mainly set between New York and Boston in the late 1990s-early 2000s, and focuses on the perspective of Laura whilst also introducing us to the experiences of her parents, grandparents, sister and boyfriend dealing with Laura's anorexia.
I found the way that Moisin showed the impact of her anorexia on those around her, as well as her education and life goals, to be well thought out and probably one of the highlights of the book for me. Her stay at Renfrew also held my interest as she explored the flaws in the system which I don't think I've actually seen in many other books, and it changed my perspective on a few points. Contrary to other reviews here, I also enjoyed reading about New York post-9/11 as it is not a subject that I know particularly much about.
However, I did not think that the layout of this book flowed particularly well at all. I felt as though it was jumping between different times and events without seemingly connecting them, and I felt quite lost in the timeline. I also found the focus of the book confusing at times, as she tended to flit between subjects and tangents that I didn't always think were particularly relevant. Unfortunately, I also didn't feel particularly connected to her or the other people in her life, and I found it difficult to maintain interest throughout the entirety of the book.
I gave this book three stars as although I did think that it had some qualities which were unique from other books on the subject, it just did not hold my attention well throughout and at points I felt it lacked direction and depth.

Ok, confession time - I am only 70% of the way through, but I am really struggling with this book. Something about the writing style feels very dry and I am only able to get through about 10-15 pages at a time before I switch off. It is becoming very repetitive and I can only read so many times about how much she hates her apartment, hates her life, hates her illness (but can't change because that's what anorexia won't let you do) and so goes wandering around a city that she doesn't feel a part of / connected to. Frankly, I'm bored. Which is unusual for me, when reading an ED book. And yet there are one or two passages where I could see so much promise... disappointed.
EDIT: It got better! Hurrah! Pretty much straight after I posted, things finally kicked off and it started to move along again. Not sure how I feel about Steven Levenkron turning up in this book - I wasn't expecting it and, because I have read both The Best Little Girl in the World and Kessa and I had THOUGHTS about those, I basically scrunched up my nose every time he was mentioned. However, this was nicely offset by the opening of Chapter Twelve, which was basically a love letter to Venice. I am firmly of the belief that I must have lived there in a past life or two, so anybody who waxes lyrical about Venice gets a pass in my book. And the writing got a whole lot better there too.
Overall I give it 2.5 stars instead of the 1 I would otherwise have done. I'm still disappointed over all, because if the book had been as engaging throughout as the last 2 chapters it would have been at least a 3.5. But it isn't and that's a shame.

This was in no way an easy read; Really vivid exploration of anorexia and how it slowly robs you of everything we value in our life. Doesn't romanticize or come off as an instruction manual. The only thing that bugged me was that anorexia was described as a female disease though now we all know that ANYONE can be prone to an eating disorder.
I also liked how she described her recovery journey with all the painful struggles.

I have had an eating disorder for a long time. It was irritating to see someone have so many avenues of treatment and help. She has no idea what people who aren't wealthy have to go thru to try to get better. She is so self evolved.
May 13, 2019
I really give it a 3.5 but since I can't I'll round up on this one.
May 13, 2020
This is a beautifully written book. It gives no quarter, is gritty, honest and sometimes unpleasant. Laura Moisin is not only brave enough to battle anorexia but to also to write down the not so nice thoughts she had about herself and the people around her while in the throes of this condition. Don't expect a sweet misunderstood victim story. Laura comes across as a stong, super smart, opinionated and autonomous woman. And I am sure she is. But in this book she also shows a very vulnerable girl. Luckily enough the woman in her was able to rescue the girl.
I'm quite astonished at some of the reviews. It feels to me like people want to read an easy book about anorexia. The 'girl wants to lose weight, it goes to far, she gets awesome help at recovery centers, relapses a few times and is healed'. This book goes so much further. It is like she took a scalpel, dissected her own brain and put everything in this book. Anorexia is such a complex disorder and a lot is not yet understood. Recovery programs sometimes work but for a lot of people they don't. Laura describes perfectly how losing even more control and being treated like an inmate will not help someone with her personality. Her visualisation technique sounds super logical to me. Anorexia is secretive and happens inside of someone's head. So only the patient can heal the patient. With a little help from outside if needed.

I am amazed that the author survived her anorexia to write this memoire. This book illustrates how debilitating an illness such as anorexia can be. Laura spends over two months inside her apartment, barely moving from bed, not eating, and only leaving the room to use the bathroom (sans showering). As Laura’s life falls apart the novelty of being thin wears off very quickly and it soon becomes clear that she is in a fierce battle to control her anxieties about herself through her unbelievably restrictive diet. This book illustrates that anorexia can last for years – and that the person suffering looses all the possibilities that had previously been open to them. Weight is not the only thing that Laura loses; she loses friends, her place at university, and sabotages her relationship with her own mother.
Like many books written on the subject of eating disorders, this novel spends a lot of time talking about the disordered behaviour, but doesn’t spend much time detailing the recovery. I also found that the story of Laura’s recovery was very superficially related to a celebrity therapist (who treated Karen Carpenter). Her story of recovery also involves a near-death moment, in which she is hit by a SUV, which is almost ironic as she patronises other books about recovering anorexics for stating that they had a catalyst moment that was brought about by the death of a loved one or their own possible death. In the end this memoire is redemptive, quirky, and often very sad, and it is well worth reading to those interested in the topic of eating disorders.

Laura Moisin's memoir, Kid Rex, is a glimpse into a life that anorexia tried to steal. This book is a picture window looking out onto complexity and disorder. Through the panes I watched as Laura Moisin was admitted to Renfrew (an eating disorder treatment center) and not four days later made her shameless exit. From relapse after relapse and on into recovery, I got to witness the transition of a young woman from paralyzing obsession to repossession of a life that was almost lost forever. Although I, myself, suffer from anorexia nervosa, I could not relate entirely to the author's story. My journey, though it parallels hers in many ways, is much different. Some aspects of her battle went way over my head. However, the perspective and insight found within these pages is worth the time spent reading this book and getting to know Laura, instead of the merciless anorexia that tried to control her. Breaking free of an eating disorder is not easy. Anyone who has recovered or is in the stages of healing knows that it is perhaps one of the most difficult addictions to overcome. It is mental. It is physical. And anything and everything in between. And one thing that Laura Moisin has discovered for herself and wants you to know as well - there is hope. No matter who you are, no matter where you've been, you can get better. Laura did. She struggled. She stumbled and fell, but she got back up again. This is her survival story - shedding her skin, disowning the "Kid Rex" inside her, and taking those first few steps into a new life in New York City and into brighter days.

This is the kind of book I love to read while traveling. I don't know why. Something about pulling together the pieces of a train wreck of a life...it holds my attention.
Laura woke up one morning with anorexia. At least, that's the way she seems to see it. She was fine, she went to college, she did lots of booze and drugs, and one day she just stopped eating. Putting herself back together was much harder than falling apart in the first place.
I admire the author's willingness to open up and let the world know about her emotional journey from health to sickness and then back again.

I have read many ED memoirs since I myself got sick and this one is a bit different than most. Moisin realy delves into the psychological pain living with an eating disorder brings. Her description of the depression she went through was spot on! I also liked the interesting family history as well. The recovery part seemed a bit rushed and I would have liked a bit more detail, but other than that next to Wasted this is my favorite ED book so far.
July 29, 2012
Amazing book! Her ability to describe her struggle with Anorexia both physically and mentally as well as emotionally is amazing and really gives those still struggling a feeling of being understood and those who have never dealt personally with an eating disorder, a glimpse into what it truly can be like.

This book was incredibly difficult to get through. The reason being was that the author was from a wealthy family and seemed so out of touch with this fact of reality. Her eating disorder experience is absolutely valid, but her failure to even give a slight nod to the overwhelming privilege she possessed made this very difficult to read.
June 6, 2012
For me this was an average ED read. I have read many. This was told from a different perspective than most, however it's hard to stick out in this topic. I would give it a 3.5. She had the right idea and I liked how it tied itself up at the end

Pretty Good book
Really good read. Was kinda a hard read though. Hate the therapist though
Having struggled with an eating disorder myself it makes this book a little hard to read.

I’m not gonna lie I couldn’t finish it. It didn’t draw me in, even though it seemed promising at the start.
The plot jumps around a lot and she’s often contradictory. She talks more about how invalidated she feels by teachers and hardly talks about the disease at all. She touched briefly on how cold she feels, but doesn’t go into anything else or express she went through any actual emotional or physical pain.
Can be described as, “She mocks anorexics then one day gets sick, she does whatever she wants but is essentially a “good girl”, she walks a lot, Zzzzzzzzz”
I tapped out, sorry!
