I'm curious to know whether Jeremy will fall prey of Darwin's killing spree of the obese people. It must be an exciting book.

A family of obese people is a sad one. As a lover of food, I can relate to how Jeremy tries to overcome his addiction to food. It will be very difficult for him to overcome that because of his family background. Sounds like an interesting psychological story.

I think I would enjoy how the author seems to build up to the climax from three different perspectives which eventually converge. This sounds like an amazing thriller novel. Thank you for the review.

"Eating Bull" by Carrie Rubin. A very motivating book, especially for those who have to loose weight. It talks more about Jeremy who is over weight or obese. His mother seen it as a serious issue, have to take him to a body fitness center. Where he was advised on the intake of food he consumes. Congrats on the BOTD.

This well written and informative review has piqued my interest to read this book. A book that explores a modern problem obesity and also has a serial killer sounds compelling.

Jeremy's obesity issue becomes heightened when the author brings into picture, Darwin (the serial killer for obese people)...I sympathize with Jeremy and at the same time interested in finding out how the story ended. That was a brilliant review as well.

I'm torn on how I feel about this book. America's obesity problem intrigues me, but the serial killer in the background sounds out of place for me. I don't usually read crime thrillers. Perhaps if that element were not in the book I would be more interested.

An interesting novel that details the storey of a teenager with an eating disorder and obesity. He sacrifices eating for a socially acceptable body weight, he also sacrifices his mental well being. He despises and kills obese persons out of envy and spite. A thriller full of gore and suspense.

One may be tempted to ask about the relationship between a serial killer and obese people and what he stands to gain in killing them. Nice review.

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.
