Midwest Book Review – (The Health Shelf)
“Life of Shouty: Food & Fitness” is the second book in a series titled the Life of Shouty, a saga about a being who “goes from overweight and overwhelmed to fit and focused.” Written in inspirational, piquant verse and filled with large, colorful cartoon-like illustrations, “Life of Shouty: Food & Fitness” is characterized by very familiar dilemmas facing a junk food eater who strives for better, healthier choices in his life. Although Shouty has a faintly alien cone-head-like appearance, this trait is somehow endearing, and readers will identify with his battles with his personified midnight junk food cravings. “Life of Shouty: Food & Fitness” is a quirky manual to self empowerment and improved health. “Life of Shouty” may be written for a young audience, but its appeal will cross generation boundaries.
