Instead, Laura's chilling memoir helps illuminate the darkness of the disease by exposing the core inner struggle of the person beneath the symptoms. Skousen feels the need to accuse Marx of 'never getting a job' , a dubious accusation at best considering Marx's voluminous output and well recorded editorial endeavours. And ultimately, he has projected his own shadow and desires onto Yogi Bhajan. I was both fascinated and repelled by this honest and touching memoir of a fifteen heard old girl fated with anorexia. This is a stream-of-conscience writing, but as if it were coming from the often high Lennon. Combat rules follow, and include variants (for "cannon fodder" and more) and options to change th
