Wonderful book!
I'm having same issue here, with excessive eating of food, though I'm not getting fat but ; which is another thing to talk about entirely. Reading this book is such an enlightenment and a relief. I think I know what to do now! :roll2:

Bully or bullying is what almost everyone young kid must come across. A book that explores this is a must-read. Congratulations on the book of the day.

This is quite an exciting crime thriller. When one thinks of victims of serial killers, I doubt that obese or overweight people come to mind first. While crime thrillers are not my thing, I like how the author tackles obesity by using a strong female character. Thanks for the review!

When overweight kids are bullied, they tend to lose their self worth. I feel the protagonist of this story found something to focus his energy by pursuing the lawsuit. As for the serial killer on the loose, we'll see how this obese teenager plays a role.

Interesting storyline, but I may not be in support of a lawsuit against the food industry, which Sue suggested. People in the industry as doing legitimate business. The onus is on consumers to be mindful of what they consume—great review, by the way.

Not a bad review. I think the book itself is quite agreeable and thus speaks for itself but the reviewer also gives an excellent perspective on their point of view. Good work.

A string of murders sure piques my interest! Was Darwin, at some point, obese? Does he kill his victims by starvation? Or perhaps he over-feeds them so that they choke on the thing they love most? Intriguing, right?

I think will read the book since it revolves around an obese teenager who is being bullied at school. I believe there is great lessons to learn from it.

This is quite a unique thriller novel that I'm looking forward to read. I have never heard of murder mysteries interwoven with the health ailments and the food industry. Thanks for the review.

A nice book, a really nice one. Though I was expecting more of a plot twist or a mind blowing turn of events.
Thanks for the review though, the review was exceptional.

I am not a massive fan of this genre. So, I will pass this one. However, showing the relations between food industry, food addiction and obesity. Thanks for this great review.

I though the book will only be about how Jeremy tried to control is obesity, but it doesnt stop there, there is also a serial killer who plans on killing obese people. Already an interesting plot twist. Great review and congrats on making the book of the day.

First off, the book cover is wonderful. Weight increase has a psychological effect on people due to the general reactions of most people to it. I think obese people have it worse because they have to deal with stares, and unsolicited advice from everyone on how to lose weight. We always tend to blame the people themselves for eating too much, but the plot twist here is suing the food industry. Then serial murder? I'm soo interested in this.
Nice review

Thank you for a great review. This is a unique book especially for combining obesity n serial killer. I am curious as to how Jeremy helped Sue pursue the lawsuit.
