Book Summary and Reviews of Beauty Junkies by Alex Kuczynski

Media Reviews

"A canny and witty guide to the excesses of a conformist society with more money than sense" - PW.
" Both witty and woozy, gossipy and trenchant, this book audaciously ends with a low-key argument in favor of cosmetic surgery." - Library Journal
"The various components combine to provide a solid summary of the downside of cosmetic surgery, though the author's self-regard is a tad annoying." - Kirkus.
