In this biography of Body Shop entrepreneur Anita Roddick, Older covers Roddick's early dreams through her founding of the shop that became a worldwide chain. Roddick is an interesting and eccentric woman but frequently comes across as self-congratulatory, which obscures her good works and strong environmental message. Peppered with photos, spot illustrations, and Anita's beauty tips, this is an inviting but thin package.
