In Tyranny, brisk, spare text and illustrations that deal head-on<br />
with anorexia propel the reader along on Anna’s journey as she<br />
falls prey to the eating disorder, personified as her tormentor,<br />
Tyranny.<br />
The novel starts with a single question: “How did I get<br />
here?” The answer lies in the pages that follow, and it’s far from<br />
simple. Pressured by media, friends, the workplace, personal<br />
relationships, and fashion trends, Anna descends into a<br />
seemingly unending cycle of misery. And whenever she tries to<br />
climb out of the abyss, her own personal demon, Tyranny, is<br />
there to push her back in. The contest seems uneven, and it<br />
might be except for one thing: Anna’s strength of character has<br />
given rise to her deadly enemy. Ironically, it is that same strength<br />
of character that has the ultimate power to save her from the<br />
ravages of Tyranny.<br />
Brilliantly and realistically presented, Tyranny is a must-read<br />
for anyone looking for a better understanding of eating disorders<br />
and for everyone looking for a compelling page-turner that is<br />
truly a story of triumph and hope.<br />
