A book that deals with the struggles of an obese teenager sounds interesting, but I would not like to read about a serial killer who targets obese people. This seems a bit far fetched for me, so I won't be reading this book.

The Storyline sounds absorbing. I can only imagine what Jeremy may be facing and passing through and how Nurse Sue steps in to help. I would add this book to my reading list. Beautiful review.

This book involving a serial killer attacking people who are struggling with obesity presents a unique story perspective. However, I think obesity isn't all about the food that people consume. A lot has to do with lack of exercise, habits instilled from childhood, and there are numerous antidepressants with weight gain as a side effect. Great review.

This book sounds as unique as it does amusing. On a more serious note though, it’s nice that the author is bringing more awareness to obesity and its difficulties.

I like how the thought-out is the nickname of Jeremy Barton because it looks very authentic. The same can be said for his obese family from whom he apparently inherited unhealthy habits.

An interesting psychological thriller "Eating Bull" by Carrie Rubin, which focuses on Jeremy Barton, an obese teenager and his problems that came with his obesity. A thought provoking book to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Serial killer killing obese people and a person dealing with obesity - what a different and quirky plotline. Equally quirky is the title of the book. However having known people who have dealt with weight issues I can somewhat relate to Jeremy's dilemma. I would definitely love to check this book out. congrats on BOTD.

An interesting thriller it is :) I love the fact that it teaches about obesity and the harm it could do in one's body and how one can overcome it despite any challenges they may come across... I absolutely love it

Sue's efforts to battle the food industry sound interesting. I am still wondering how far they will go with the lawsuit and how Barton will protect himself from Darwin. The story, undoubtedly, sounds captivating and thought-provoking.

Darwin sounds so plausible. I can't wait to see how Jeremy gets out of his predicament. Thank you for a great review.
