Book Review: Size 14 Is Not Fat Either

Size 14 Is Not Fat Either by Meg Cabot

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second installment in the Heather Wells mystery series. Since I accidentally read the third book (Big Boned) first, reading Size 14 is Not Fat Either wraps up the series for me. The head of a girl who lives in Fisher Hall is found boiling in a pot on the stove in the cafeteria. Who killed this girl and why? Where is her body? Heather Wells, the assistant director of Fisher Hall, cannot resist the urge to find out the answers to these questions herself instead of waiting for the police to do their job.

I found this book to be a lot more plausible than the first book. The police are not portrayed as bumbling idiots this time and the mystery of “who done it” was more mysterious. Heather is charming and funny and there is a lot less of the annoying dorm/residence hall thing than there was in the first book.

I’ve listened to all three books in this series on audio and the first (Size 12 is Not Fat) and third are both narrated by Justine Eyre and this one was narrated by Kristin Karios. It was strange listening to another voice read Heather and all her friends at first – I had just assumed that Justine would narrate since she narrated the other two in the series. Also, Kristin had some trouble with some of the foreign accents which was distracting when listening to a character with an accent speak.

Overall this series is light and fun – I’m glad I read it.
