A serial killer targeting obese people? This sounds interesting. I think I like the storyline and would want to know how the lawsuit against the food industry ended. Congrats to the author on being the book of the day.

I have never read a psychological thriller not because I do not fancy it but because I haven't got to lay my hand on one. The description of this book is very interesting. I'm impressed at how it carries the idea of obesity, together with murder and serial killings. It's quite fascinating.

Latest Review: The Artificial Intelligence Rights and Responsibilities Act” by Alton Booth

Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

This psychological thriller looks appealing. It tackles the topic of obesity in an original way by combining it with a serial killer who attacks the obese. In addition, the point of suing the food industry sounds intriguing because of the arguments that can be brought to the table. An interesting plot.

I really don’t know what to think of this novel. Darwin is a very interesting character, a serial killer after all. He has “good” reasons. Sue has great ambitions, but can she reallly change anything?

Ther book sounds interesting and exciting. I like thrillers, especially psychological, thought-provoking ones that keep you on edge anticipating the next moves of the main characters and analyzing their motives. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

This book has an interesting combination of themes that include obesity and murder. I especially like how the book is written in the third person so we get to see the different perspectives from each character. Issues about society are brought up as well which adds another layer to the storyline that I personally like. Congrats on the BOTD!

I am not quite sure why, but this seems like an intriguing book. I have struggled with controlling how much I eat as well, so I can understand the frustrations that these characters have. This might be a book to check out. Thanks for the detailed review.

I love this! All my favorite topics and genres put in one space. Obesity, psychology, thriller, crime, and abuse. It does not get any better. I'm rarely so enthusiastic about specific novels but this deserves the BOTD crown. I cannot wait to read this and hopefully give a review of my own. This is beautiful!

Latest Review: Speaks for Itself by Jeffrey Paul Bailey.

Post by Deval Sodha »

The book is a psychological thriller by Carrie Rubin. The story centers on Jeremy Barton, an obese teenager. The story is captivating that moves at an excellent pace, tackling important issues from different viewpoints that are deeply rooted in the characters’ past experiences.
The review is superb.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉
