The review was great.
I agree with sue on the point where she says it's not the people's will to be obese rather there is a greater force than them. Therefore obese people shouldn't be treated and less. The concepts of dieting and exercise as perceived here can help in helping the obese people to keep fit.

The book is a must read for me.
Thanks for the great review.

I was drawn in by the cover page and the idea that the book is named after the character. Thanks for the great review. 
Books are a unique form of accessible magic. Reading is required for those who wish to rise above the mundane. If you dislike reading, it's most likely because you haven't found the right book.

This story definitely sounds quite unique and very intriguing. I've never heard of a serial killer who'd kill obese people. Darwin immediately got my attention as a complex and interesting character.

When I saw the title and cover of the book, I definitely did not expect this to be a serial killer novel. I enjoy thrillers, and I find the plot of this book unique, so I'll be checking it out. I'm glad that the book focuses on the issue of obesity and overweight. Being close to someone who suffers from this issue, I can say that it's not as easy as some people believe. Thank you for the wonderful review!

Wow. What a twist. A serial killer for the obese. I did not see that coming. I would definitely love to read more about this and see how their stories converge. This is a well-written review.

This physiological fiction book by carrie Rubin will keep you on edge.
Its centered around three characters Jeremy, Darwin and Sue.
Jeremy who is overweight , leaves with his mother and Grandfather.
Jeremy's Grandfather keeps on bullying him about his weight, calling him names and he also gets trolled by his mother's boyfriend Rex .

Darwin a serial killer who kills overweight people and he is helped by the voice he keeps on hearing inside his head .
Reading about Darwin makes you worry about Jeremy.

Sue a nurse who works at a weight management clinic has an offer for Jeremy and his mum which
Is to sue the food industry and she also gets what Jeremy is going through.

The books makes you understand and like all characters.

It also makes you feel sorry for Jeremy when he says he can't control his eating and yet people keep on telling him to watch what he eats.

I liked this book I give it 4 stars because it keeps you wondering what will happen next .
will Darwin get to Jeremy?
Will Jeremy do something about the bullies his Grandfather and his mother's boyfriend?
Will sue succeed in all her endeavors about helping people with overweight issues?

The book contains violence . If violence is not your thing i wouldn't recommend this for you.

This book will give the reader helpful insight into the life of those struggling with obesity. I have never read a book where the serial killer targets people who are overweight. I am intrigued to follow the conversations Darwin has with the voice in his head. Congrats on the BOTD selection!

How possible could someone be interested in killing obese people? This sounds like an interesting story and I think I'm interested in unraveling the plots weaved around it. Congrats on being the #BOTD

Absolutely awesome review! I never thought that someone actually wrote a book like this, combining a political issue, together with health issue, plus the added thrill of mystery, it could be a very invigorating read indeed.

I would love go read this book soon. Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 💖

I love the plot of this book, and I'd love to know if the psychologist was able to improve Jeremy's health. Darwin is a puzzle, and I'd like to know why he's into killing obese people. Thanks for your honest review.

This book is a thriller with different touch. The fact that the killer has a special interest in obese people is intriguing on its own and this made me eager to know why he so much have interest in them. The character of Sue also appeal to me. She is a mother who truly wants the best for his son. Kudos to the reviewer for a detailed review.

Obese and overweight is the critical and very sensitive topic to have nowadays. I wonder how the nurse at the clinic helped.
