'In An Apple a Day Emma comes across as brave, real and determined. I'm sure that in sharing her story many others will be encouraged to speak out from the stigma of this horrible illness and realise that there is a life worth living beyond calorie counts and scales. It is a battle worth fighting.' -- Grace Bowman, author of 'Thin' 'Frank and compelling... made me understand anorexia in a way I never have before.' -- Woman's Hour BBC Radio 4 'Love your column! Read it religiously. Very positive. And brave.' -- Twitter follower 'An Apple a Day tells a powerful story, heart warming and heart rending by turns. It is ultimately a story filled with hope, and Emma Woolf's moving, deeply personal account of her journey out of anorexia will bring that hope to so many more people trapped by this dreadful illness.' -- Susan Ringwood (Chief Executive, Beat)

Review of The Ministry of Thin in the Observer: ""Woolf sets her stall out with brio."" ""Woolf's skill in is in adding intellectual and emotional ballast to the debates that interest her.
