Being overweight comes with its problems. The challenge Jeremy faced is serious. I'll love to see how he coped with these challenges as well as the threat to his life. Thanks for the review.

This looks like a captivating thriller. I'll have to check it out. I'm interested in seeing how Jeremy copes with his obesity issue and if Sue is able to help him. Thanks for the informative review.

I'm curious about the mystery surrounding this text. Thanks for the thorough review.

Very interesting, but then again psychological aspect of thrillers always was an interesting subject to study for me. I definitely am not thrilled about graphic violence, but understand that is one of the things demanded by the genre and only hope it will be somewhat mild to not spoil the reading. Congrats with BOTD!

Sincerely, I am wowed by this book and its review. I am interested in knowing why the serial killer, Darwin, targets obese people. This book deserves support from other writers and health officers. Food manufacturers need to put our health above their profit.

'Official Review: Eating Bull' by Carrie Rubin is a sound thesis on the crime thriller story about real-life issues of bullying, fat-shaming, food addiction and the food industry's role in obesity for readers. It well describes the engaging plot of the story of the book for readers. The point that there is a great build up to the ending with some intriguing twists thrown in adding meaningful depth to the characters and providing substantial obstacles to the plot is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that the story moves at an excellent pace, tackling important issues from different viewpoints which are deeply rooted in the characters' past experiences, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the book had all the right elements for an enjoyable read!

Told from the perspective of the 3 main characters, today's BOTD is a psychological thriller that also draws awareness to various issues many face today, such as food addiction, obesity, and bullying. Readers are sure to find this novel both informative and entertaining. I've added this to my WTR list! Thanks for the awesome review! :-)

This book sounds childish as I believe that one should be able to control himself/herself when it comes to food. I solely believe that one is responsible for being fat and find the storyline ridiculous, although I would like to know why obese children were hunted and killed. Thanks for a honest review.
Many books can inform you but there's only one that can transform you(The Holy Bible). Pls don't forget to drop a comment for this review. Thanks. :D :tiphat:

This sounds kike a fascinating book, and a villain haunting obese people is weird. I hope to enjoy reading this book in case I come across it. The review was fun to read, and congratulations on making the book of the day.

This story sounds childish and pointless. I am sorry but I am not interested, I see no interesting plot in an obese child trying to save his life and a serial killer targeting obese people.

For some reason, I feel like this is not something I would've picked up right away, but your review definitely makes me curious about that. I just added it to my reading list, and I will be getting around to it pretty soon! Thank you for the review.

Oh yes! The combination of weight problems and a string of murders does intrigue me 😂. I've not felt this compelled to read a book in months!
As someone who struggles with a little weight problem, I'm curious to find out about Sue's allegations of the Junk food industry.

An interesting piece that tells the story of overweight individuals through their own eyes and even that of others. What I find most interesting is the serial killer twist to this story. I'd love to read this myself. Thanks for your review.
